Alternative Winter Break
Winter Break in Israel
Ready to do something meaningful this winter break?
Join Yavneh on Campus and JNF-USA for an epic week in Israel that goes way beyond a typical trip. Together with college students from campuses across the country, we’ll spend a week volunteering, exploring, and connecting deeply with the people and land of Israel.
This is your chance to make an impact, meet amazing students from across the country, and start the new year with purpose.
What Makes This Trip Different?
Volunteer on the Ground: Work side by side with Israelis to support real communities. Past projects have included planting trees, rebuilding homes, assisting farmers, and helping towns affected by conflict.
Meet Inspiring People: Hear firsthand stories from community leaders, soldiers, farmers, and families who make Israel what it is.
See Israel Up Close: Hike, explore vibrant cities, experience Shabbat together, and discover places most tourists never get to see.
Yavneh Vibes: Travel with a crew of passionate Jewish student leaders and fellows who care about Israel, community, and making a difference.
