Welcome to Israel!

Posted in 2012 on 05. Jul, 2012

Shalom YJ Summer 2012 parents and families! The participants on YJ Machon 1, YJ Machon 2, and YJ Discovery landed on Wednesday! The YJ Summer programs team in NY had a great time meeting the kids. They sent close to 100 happy, excited participants to Israel. 11 hours later, the YJ Summer Programs team in Israel greeted the same now tired but just as excited participants. Their first evening in Israel was spent playing ice breaker games, meeting their staff, and having their first dinner.

Please continue checking the blog and “like”ing the YJ Summer Programs in Israel Facebook page. We will continue updating and posting photos.

The summer is off to a fantastic start, and we think it will only get better!
