About This Program
YTT (Yoram's Teen Tours) Summer is a 5-week Modern Orthodox coed touring program running July 7–Aug 10, 2026, under the direction of Yoram Roschwalb. The program travels through Poland — connecting participants to the history of European Jewry — before continuing to Israel for an immersive experience. A daily Dvar Torah connects every site to Torah and Jewish history, Mishmar Thursday nights (complete with cholent and potato kugel) add serious learning to the schedule, and the program is strictly kosher and fully shomer Shabbos throughout. Scholarship opportunities available through local UJA-Federation affiliates and the Belfer Family Fellows Fund.
