RootOne Vouchers

Receive a $2000 Voucher toward Second Session at Tel Yehudah this summer

In these most challenging of times, we continue to be committed to bringing Israel to Tel Yehudah. We do this through our immersive Israel programming designed to introduce our teens to Israel’s culture, history, people, geography, politics, successes, and challenges.  And we do this by bringing staff and campers to join the Tel Yehudah community. More than anything, Israel is about people, our family.  This summer we will have at least 35 teen campers from Israel along with a large delegation of Israeli staff.  And, while it’s not quite the same as traveling to Israel, we provide a rich and meaningful Israel experience in Barryville, New York. 

Tel Yehudah is thrilled to announce we have been accepted as a  RootOne trip provider!  RootOne is an initiative of The Jewish Education Project that helps connect thousands of Jewish teens to Israel by lowering the financial barrier to participation in immersive trips, and by investing in the educational quality of those experiences.

Important information. Please read carefully: 

• Participants must first be registered for Tel Yehudah before applying for a RootOne voucher.
• Participants must live in the United States.
• There are a limited number of vouchers so please apply as soon as possible. (Currently there are enough for all registered campers.)
• Participants can only receive one of the above RootOne vouchers.
• Participants must not have already received a RootOne voucher for a trip to Israel or for camp last summer.
• Participants who receive a RootOne voucher this summer for Tel Yehudah will still be eligible to receive a voucher next summer if they go on our Young Judaea Gesher program to Israel (or any other RootOne program).

How do I get a RootOne voucher? 

• Make sure you are registered with Tel Yehudah for Second Session with a Merkaz Intensive Program.
• The Rootone application will be shared with everyone who completes their Second Session Application. This will need to be completed by both parents and teens.  Please read their terms and conditions carefully.  To receive a voucher, you also need to agree to complete pre-program and post-program surveys and educational content.  (Please note that the application talks about “trips.”  Our Tel Yehudah programs are being considered as trips by RootOne.)
• Once your application has been approved by RootOne, we will apply the voucher to your account.

We are very excited to be able to offer this opportunity to enhance the Israel experience at Tel Yehudah while making camp more affordable for all.
