We strongly encourage you to pursue other sources of financial assistance in addition to your application for assistance from the Young Judaea funding pool. Many Jewish organizations, including synagogues and local Jewish Federations, have money designated for families to send their children to Jewish summer camp. We have found that earlier requests for funds are more promising. However, you must take the initiative to reach out directly and learn about the requirements for each organization.

We would like to kindly request that you do not call the Tel Yehudah office to inquire about decisions regarding Young Judaea assistance. Applications for assistance will be reviewed by Young Judaea’s tuition assistance committee. You will be notified directly in writing as soon as decisions have been made by the committee. We expect those decisions to be delivered by early April.
