See for YourselfThe Fellowships provides the participants with
the unique opportunity to gain a first-hand understanding of their own
roots as well as the backgrounds and experiences of their peers from other
countries. In preparation for the trip, Fellows research their own family
histories, turning the experience into a personal journey of discovery.

Tour HungaryThe Fellowships program includes day trips to
beautiful historic Hungarian cities including a tour of Jewish Budapest
and a site-seeing day in another city. Visit the Budapest Holocaust
Memorial and the Dohany Street Synagogue - the world's second largest
synagogue and by far one of the most magnificent.

The Global Jewish FamilyThe North American Fellows have much to
learn from their International peers. There can be no better setting for
American Jews to experience and learn about their personal Jewish heritage
than in Europe itself, with many of their brothers and sisters from their
European homelands by their sides. |

Face to FaceEach day focuses on a different country, and includes
special interactive sessions for discovering the stories of Jews in that
country over time. Fellows also learn basic words for communicating in the
native language of that country. Fellows participate in two-way mifgashim
(meetings) with participants from the other countries, combining
ice-breakers, personal discussions, shared activities and plenty of
socializing time. For many participants, these opportunities form the
highlight of the Fellowships. |

Hanging OutOver the course of the two-week session, participants
get to meet and interact with all the other campers in numerous structured
settings. The most memorable parts of the camp, however, are the informal
interactions that take place in between activities and during free time.
Participants form lasting friendships with their peers from all over the
world, playing, sharing their lives and experiences, and simply getting to
know each other. |
