YEHUDI Campus Fellowships: Israel Leadership Mission
The Israel Leadership Mission is a transformative journey for Jewish college students to connect deeply with Israel—its vibrant culture, resilient people, and powerful history. This unforgettable experience combines hands-on volunteer work, immersive learning, and meaningful encounters with communities across the country.
From the moment participants arrive, they are welcomed into an itinerary designed to inspire both heart and mind. As students settle in, they embark on a week of purpose-driven adventure—filled with educational sessions, engaging classes, and visits to some of Israel’s most impactful and meaningful sites.
Throughout the trip, students actively contribute through acts of service: packing care kits for Chayalim, delivering food to soldiers with Chamal, and engaging in chesed projects that bring comfort and joy to those in need. Whether Israel’s lively streets or gathering around a serene Shabbat table in Jerusalem, every moment becomes an opportunity to learn, connect, and make a real difference.

Past trips
Joining this community has been life-changing for me.
“As someone who had little knowledge of Judaism before, I now see it as something beautiful and positive. The social aspect was what drew me in at first, but the meaningful experiences and learning opportunities with the mentors have made me feel like I’ve found a second family.”
They have truly become like family to me.
“I can’t imagine where I would be without this community. As an international student without family in the area, I would have been completely alone if not for the welcoming and supportive environment provided by Yehudi . I am so grateful for the connections and growth I have experienced here.”
