Y2I is open to Jewish teens, regardless of Jewish observance, Jewish education, or Jewish affiliation. Teens from interfaith families are warmly welcomed to Y2I.
Teens of all abilities are welcome to apply to 2021 Y2I.
The goal of Y2I is Jewish continuity. Y2I was established in 1970 by philanthropist Robert Israel Lappin (of blessed memory), who believed the teen Israel experience is the most effective way to build Jewish pride, connect young people to Israel, and imbue them with love and responsibility for our Jewish Family. Key to Y2I’s success is the fully subsidized community teen trip to Israel. More than 2,800 teens have participated in Y2I since 1970.
The 12-day trip to Israel is fully subsidized by funds raised by Lappin Foundation’s Annual Campaign and with financial support from the Robert I. Lappin Charitable Foundation
