Immersive Jewish Service Learning

Immersive Jewish Service Learning engages participants in full-time, direct service for at least seven days. Usually, participants leave their daily lives to travel to another community to learn and serve. In these programs, the learning and service components are fully integrated and aligned with one another, giving participants a cohesive and meaningful Jewish Service Learning experience. Programs include alternative winter and spring breaks, and summer and year-long service programs.
