The program cost is over $5,000 per participant.  Thanks to the generosity of Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey and our partners and supporters we are able to offer a significantly reduced rate.  The cost to families is $2,500 per participant.

The Federation will provide need-based scholarships on a case-by-case basis. Please contact Linda Heller at [email protected] for details.

To assist Federation to help families who cannot afford the $2,500 participant fee, we ask those who are financially able to consider making a gift to help offset the cost of the trip for others.  If you are interested in this giving opportunity, contact Linda Heller at [email protected].
