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.”
