TJJ Ambassadors

Ambassadors is the ultimate leadership training program for public school teens.  This extraordinary journey will combine the very best of touring and fun with social action, political advocacy, and high level study.

TJJ has long been synonymous with first rate summers in Israel.  TJJ Ambassadors will benefit from the incomparable TJJ touring experience- from north to south and east to west; the country will come alive in all its beauty and wonder. Participants will also be exposed to leading personalities in the Israeli political scene, and charged with the responsibility of sharing the miracle of modern day Israel with the global community.  TJJ Ambassadors will spend one full week in an intense volunteer project, “giving back” to the people of Israel.  And finally, the Ambassadors will receive a crash course on classical texts and ideas of Judaism, in a traditional “Beit Medrash” environment.

The joint commitment of NCSY & JSU to develop future leaders of the Jewish people allows us to offer this elite and unique program at a heavily subsidized cost. Space is extremely limited, and not every applicant will qualify.

Acceptance will be based on personal character, academic record, leadership experience, letters of recommendation, a written essay, and an interview process
