Mar Cheshvan contains no Jewish holidays, which, in the wake of the fes tive, holiday-filled month of Tishrei, can feel like a letdown. In Israel, Mar Cheshvan is thought of as a time when, in place of special occa sions and celebrations, Israelis return to their regular, everyday life and routines.

These nine months will be broken down into three semesters—one spent in the Negev, one in Bat Yam, and one in Jerusalem—each filled with intensive Hebrew and academic study, com munity volunteering, local field trips, and numerous cultural and social activities. And while it may seem like just another year, it actually marks the beginning of so much more. Research studies have shown that participation in long term programs in Israel, like Young Judaea’s Year Course, is the most effective tool for shaping the next generation of Jewish lead ers and for cultivating Jewish awareness and a sense of Jewish and Zionist identity. This year. Young Judaea cele brates its 100th Anniversary. Over the last 100 years. Young Judaea has brought together thousands of Jewish youth from across the country and around the world through its Year Course and other programs in the U.S. and Israel.
