Inspired by the international March of the Living program, Shalhevet is a way for local Jewish teens to participate in a program tailored specifically to the educational and cultural environment of the Bay Area.
Please note: Safety is our number one priority.
Special consideration is given for the trip to coincide with the participants returning to the USA for successful preparation and completion of Advanced Placement exams.
Shalhevet includes a journey of Jewish history, beginning with the life of pre-WWII Polish Jewry through the Holocaust and the establishment of the State of Israel. Witness the concentration camps through the eyes of a survivor traveling with the group. Meet with Polish and Israeli teens to get a taste of their lives. Experience Israel: the people, the culture, and the homeland.
The program partners teens with seniors in a reciprocal service relationship to create meaningful relationships and a stronger sense of commitment to community.
