BBYO STANDS WITH ISRAEL

Connection with and travel to Israel have always been part of BBYO's values, and continue to be so. Our commitment to providing a safe and enriching experience for teens remains steadfast. We will update our community as we keep in contact with our Israel trip providers and security contacts. We are hopeful for a renewed chance for even more teens to safely explore, give back, and have fun together in the Jewish homeland in Summer 2025. Read about our safety measures →
