TJJ Roots
TJJ Roots is a three-week program created exclusively for NCSY & JSU Canada participants. The trip will challenge participants to confront Jewish history and develop leadership skills to help build the Jewish future. Spending the first week in Poland and then two weeks in Israel, TJJ Roots is designed for students with a high level of intellectual and emotional maturity, proven leadership ability and strong involvement in NCSY/JSU. While TJJ Roots is open to any applicant, preference will be given to students that attended the TJJ Canada Summer program in years prior.
