Israel Teen Fest: This is an interactive program for Atlanta-area teens, designed to introduce them to life in Israel. It will be held at Congregation Shearith Israel on Sunday, April 28 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. as part of JServe. JServe is a program sponsored by the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta which attracts hundreds of teens every year for a day of community service. When teens at Shearith Israel gathered to begin planning the event, they agreed on the concept: They wanted to know more about everyday life in Israel, and they wanted to learn about it in a hands-on way. At Israel Teen Fest, Atlanta-area teens will attend two sessions that they choose from four topics: Life in the Israeli Defense Force, Israeli Innovation, Sustainable Israel (meeting environmental challenges), and Conflict and the Media. The program will include a social action project, food tasting and music. More information is available on JServe Atlanta by emailing jserve@atlantajcc.org.

We believe that Jewish youth camps nurture a strong Jewish identity, and we work hard to create a caring and FUN environment while at the same time promoting a love of Israel and our heritage. Our camper-to-staff ratio is kept low to give our campers maximum personal attention and safety during our daily programming of sports, arts and crafts, music, cooking and so much more. It is our mission to encourage social, religious and personal growth while teaching campers to treat each other with respect and love. Our well-rounded programming balances the importance of learning to be a part of a community with the opportunity to develop individual skills, talents and abilities.
