BBYO'S CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION SUMMER

BRINGING JEWISH TEENS TOGETHER SINCE 1924

BBYO provides a safe space for all Chicago-area Jewish teens in 8th–12th grade to come together, explore their personal connection to Judaism, to come together, explore their personal connection to Judaism, and discover new places alongside a tight-knit group of friends. Our unique trips across the globe show teens thousands of years of Jewish history while allowing them to immerse themselves in the culture of communities we visit. Don’t miss your chance to celebrate BBYO’s 100th birthday with us in one of our 20+ destinations! We anticipate spots will fill quickly during this milestone year!

OUR APPROACH TO SAFETY

We have not canceled any of our BBYO Summer 2024 Israel experiences. We will keep a careful watch on the situation and elevate the safety of our participants above all else. That said, we remain hopeful that by the summer, the Jewish homeland will once again be a place where Jewish teens can safely explore, connect, and have fun together. Read more on our safety page →
