Ramah Israel Seminar is a six-week travel program in Israel, designed for entering 12th graders who are graduates of the ten Ramah overnight camps in North America. For over 50 years, Ramah Seminar has been an outstanding way for teens to experience Israel. Seminar is an intensive experience of study and travel, combining hiking and trekking throughout Israel with text study, challenging discussions and hands-on learning.

Seminar participants travel Israel from north to south, gaining an in-depth perspective of Israel’s history and future. Seminar is an opportunity to live the Ramah life in Israel, combining all that is central to camp – community, connection and growth.

The Ramah Poland Journey is an optional nine-day program prior to Ramah Israel Seminar, which offers the opportunity for Ramahniks who wish to spend additional time exploring their Jewish heritage in a Ramah framework.

The Poland Journey traces the history of some of the most outstanding and historically relevant Jewish communities. This is an opportunity to learn about the European Jewish communities prior to and during the Holocaust. The nine-day program includes an exploration of the remnants — and, in some cases, the revival — of the Jewish communities in Warsaw, Krakow and Lublin.
