Yachad presents

Chanukas Habayis

July 20, 2025 | Swan Lake, NY

Camp Chaverim Yachad is a self-contained sleepaway camp for over 120 boys and young adults with developmental disabilities. Last summer the shul we use at camp burned down, destroying 120 pairs of tefillin, seforim, lots of equipment, and the only space for our whole group to get together for tefillah and activities. It was a miracle that no one was hurt and that the sefer Torah was moved unexpectedly the night before! While the shell of the building was covered by insurance, the items inside were not.
...See More

We ran a fundraiser to cover the tefillin replacement costs and are in the midst of a second fundraiser to help replace items from inside the shul- tables, chairs, Aron Kodesh, seforim, sound equipment, etc. We are fortunate that the building itself was rebuilt in time for our use this summer, and we’ve been able to turn the empty shell into a space that resonates with davening and Torah learning. Join us in our Chanukas Habayis event to celebrate the miracles that happened during the fire and to celebrate the rebuilding of the shul!

Girls Israel Volunteer Experience (GIVE) at Chamal Gilo

July 23, 2025 | Israel

GIVE Nation is a 5 week Israel summer program where extraordinary high school girls are given the opportunity to experience hands-on Judaism through the art of giving back. Participants visit an array of chesed organizations and experience firsthand what it means to be a responsible member of the Jewish people by helping those in need.
...See More

From soup kitchens to medical clowning, greeting a Nefesh B’Nefesh flight to painting kindergartens in underprivileged communities, GIVErs are able to contribute to the many needs of those Jews living in Israel. While GIVE Nations’s primary focus is volunteer work, touring and exposure to the land of Israel continues to be a major piece of the summer. When not engaged in chesed activities, GIVE Nations takes you to many of the major tourist attractions throughout Israel. Some highlights include spending Shabbat in Tzfat, banana boating on the Kineret, hiking in the Judean desert and the Golan, and mountain rappelling and floating in the Dead Sea. GIVE Nation is an opportunity for girls to give back some of the good that they have received in their lives to those less fortunate.
