Marlene and Arnan Finkelstein matter your background, there’s a Jewish experience where participants will have fun, be comfortable, learn more about themselves and explore their Jewish identity. Masa Israel offers long-term Israel experience programs ranging from 2-12 months of study, service and career development internships for Jews in the diaspora ages 18-30.

Whether it is a trip to Israel, Jewish day or residential camp, these experiences will enrich the lives of participants and their families now and into the future. Make this a summer to remember!

The Jewish Federation of the Lehigh Valley is proud to make need-based scholarships available for Israel teen and young adult travel, and for summer camp for eligible families. These funds are made possible through the VISIT program, the Elaine and Leslie z”l Lerner Israel Scholarship Fund (for young adults) and the generosity of our donors who provide scholarship support each year. For more information, visit jewishlehighvalley.org/ scholarships to apply be fore March 24, 2023.
