Ramah Israel Seminar: Cost, Coverage & How to Fund It
Ramah Israel Seminar is an intensive summer travel and learning program run by the Ramah Israel Institute — the Israel arm of Camp Ramah, the camping movement of Conservative Judaism. The Seminar brings Jewish young adults into the heart of the Israeli experience: hiking all corners of the land, meeting with political and cultural leaders, engaging in challenging discussions about Israeli society and Jewish identity, and participating in hands-on experiential learning that brings the texts and history of Israel alive. As a MASA-affiliated program, Ramah Israel Seminar qualifies participants for MASA grants while delivering the distinctly Ramah combination of communal warmth, Conservative Jewish observance, and deep intellectual engagement with the Jewish state.

What Parents Say About Ramah Israel Seminar
“Ramah Seminar is everything Ramah does best — community, Jewish living, Israel — compressed into the most intense few weeks of your life. We hiked Masada, met a Member of Knesset, spent Shabbat in a Negev kibbutz, davened at the Kotel. I came home a different person. Israel Prepaid Bronze Plan covered the whole thing.”
“Ramah Seminar gave me the geographic and intellectual relationship with Israel I'd wanted since age twelve. The leader meetings were extraordinary — journalists, politicians, educators, survivors. Everything we discussed touched me at a Conservative Jewish level I'd built since camp. Israel Prepaid Bronze was there when we needed it.”
