The JSU Experience
When you come to JSU, you join a welcoming community of Jewish teens where you can explore Jewish culture, history, and identity, and discover fun, meaningful, and exciting programs, all while empowering yourself with Jewish pride.
Jewish holidays bring the best kind of celebration-join JSU’s pre-holiday parties for Rosh Hashanah, Chanukah, Sukkot, Purim, and more with friends, food, and fun!
From Friday night dinners to weekend retreats, JSU brings Shabbat to life with great food and meaningful experiences.
If you’re looking for the adventures of a lifetime, between JSU Summer and Relief Missions, we have you covered. Whether travel across Europe, North America, and Israel or discovering immersive, hands-on experiences for those in crisis, you will create memories and impacts that last a lifetime.
A five-day retreat with hundreds of Jewish public school teens from across North and South America, Aspire: Yarchei Kallah is an unforgettable experience to connect, learn, and have an incredible time. From immersive Torah study to world-renowned speakers, teens deepen their Jewish identity, amplify their Jewish pride, and create new connections with friends for life.
JSU empowers teen leaders through exclusive opportunities-hands-on workshops, mentorship, and programs that connect you with peers and top educators across North America.
