Grouping is based primarily on school grade with each group consisting of one, and possibly two, grade levels. An appropriate male-female ratio and any friend requests are also taken into consideration when the groups are formed. Accommodations The Hadassah Youth Center in Jerusalem is the home base for all Young Judaea activities in Israel. The Youth Center facilities include dormitory lodging, lounge, dining room, library and staff offices. All accommodations outside of Jerusalem are personally selected by our full-time staff and are reflective of Israeli standards.
All groups travel in modern, air-conditioned buses.
