What We Do
Teens
Feed a growing Jewish identity with experiences near and far.
Experience Israel
Dallas-area teens entering their junior or senior year of high school join together for a three-week excursion through Israel alongside local Jewish Dallas spiritual and education leaders, along with Israeli guides and experts.
Beginning here in Dallas with pre-trip education and group bonding, then exploring the cultural and historical landscape of Israel, and ending with post-trip reunions that strengthen friendships, the Dallas Israel Teen Tour reinforces a holistic approach to Jewish identity.
Break barriers by sharing stories
Student to Student is a proven, classroom-based experiential program that brings Jewish and non-Jewish high school students together to learn about Judaism through personal storytelling. Jewish high school Student Presenters visit local high schools with few, if any, Jewish students to share their Jewish practices and experiences.
Scholarship opportunities
The Jewish Federation of Greater Dallas wants to lower the barrier for teens to travel to Israel on educationally rich immersive experiences. We believe the Israel experience is something everyone should have, and want to send as many teens as possible to strengthen their connection with Israel and Judaism. The Federation is proud to provide eligible teens and their families with financial assistance to encourage these memory-making adventures.
