Ramah Israel Seminar

Ramah Israel Seminar is a six-week travel program in Israel, designed for rising 12th graders who are former campers of on of the Ramah overnight camps in North America. As implied by its name, Seminar is an intensive experience of study and travel, combining hiking and trekking throughout Israel with text study, challenging discussions and hands-on learning. Seminar participants travel Israel from north to south, gaining an in-depth perspective of Israel's history and future and a deep introduction to the Jewish state. Seminar is an opportunity to live the Ramah life in Israel, combining all that is central to camp - tefillah (prayer), study, Shabbat and all the facets of an observant, Conservative lifestyle.

This summer we are introducing a new program: Refuah. Refuah is Ramah Seminar’s immersive, six-week medical track for rising 11th and 12th graders. Refuah offers a unique opportunity to learn about the Israeli medical sector while gaining first-hand training and volunteer experiences with medical professionals.

The Seminar Classic program and Refuah will take place at the same time, and the last set of dates are for the optional Poland Journey.
