A new campus program designed to revive interest among Jewish college youth in Israel and Judaism has been instituted at 12 American colleges under the auspices of Yavneh, the Torah Education and Culture Department of the Jewish Agency’s American section. Highlighted by a six-week tour of Israel, including three weeks of study at an Israeli campus, the new project also includes courses to be given on campus in the United States prior to departure for Israel.
