📅 November 20-22

👥 Grades 6-12

Mercaz is all about the fun! Think high-energy activities, creative programming, lively singing and dancing, and a Shabbat full of laughter and friendship. Come ready to jump in, meet new people, and make memories with your USY family.

Ruchot was an amazing experience. I had the best time. Not only did I make new friends, but I really felt I was able to express my Jewish values, with others who had the same. It felt very similar to camp, everyone clicked instantly, and there was an amazing Jewish aspect of it. Not only that, but it was an amazing opportunity to learn about speech writing, and speaking with important people for the future. I really learned a lot and had the best time overall!
