Eva Labi, Director, Department for Jewish Education in Diaspora

For the second consecutive year, Alliance – Kol Israel Haverim will be organizing and operating a summer camp at the Mikve Israel campus for youth from countries all over the world. Boys and girls, ages 12 – 17, from diverse Jewish communities in different countries, speaking different languages – observant, secular and traditional – receive the opportunity to meet and get to know one another. The camp program offers an abundance of excursions, attractions and opportunities for experiential study. The camp's principle underlying values are mutual respect and it promotes becoming familiar with differences, towards the understanding that all are part of the rich human fabric that is the Jewish people.

Mikve Israel was a natural choice to host the summer camp. Established by Charles Netter in 1870, it reflects the KIAH spirit and orientation in its mission to provide education for all, to deal with agriculture and to renew the Jewish settlement in the Land of Israel. Today, it is a "green lung" blooming in the country's center and in midst of a conservation and renewal process.

 The camp will be held betwwen July 11th to 30th.
