In the heart of Jerusalem is the construction site of a $12 million center for Jewish youth, the new Judaean Youth Hostel. The Judaean Youth Hostel will be a haven for study, a hub for Jewish activities and a symbol of hope. It is not only a building but also a "concrete" commitment to nurture future generations of Jewish leaders.

The new Judaean Youth Hostel will provide a family-like environment offering safe, attractive quarters for study and prayer, a center for social life, and facilities for fitness, entertainment and kosher dining. It will also house Israel Discovery, the six-week summer program and Year Course, which offers up to 27 academic credits accepted by many American universities.

Young Judaea, the Zionist youth movement sponsored by Hadassah, is our future. The Judaean, Youth Hostel is the foundation we will build to support them.

Do you believe that we must nurture and develop the next generation of American Jews to be supporters of Israel and Hadassah? Building continuity has a price tag. Your donation to our annual Donor Luncheon will support the lifelong connection between Jewish youth and Israel.
