    S.K.I.P

    S.K.I.P.

    Jewish teens are able to travel to Israel with the financial assistance of the Federation’s S.K.I.P. Fund (Send-a-Kid-to-Israel Program). We feel it’s important to allow these teenagers to share their experiences with our readers, as their stories affirm in the strongest way the importance of trips to Israel in keeping teens engaged in leading Jewish lives.
