Our Blog
At Ramah, we are dedicated to providing transformative Israel education, which in turn builds lasting impact for Jewish youth and our future leadership. TRY, Tichon Ramah Yerushalayim is a semester of study open to Jewish youth from North America (10-12th graders) interested in learning about their heritage.
TRY provides unforgettable experiences and equips participants with valuable skills. TRY is designed to prepare our chanichim (students) to stand tall and confidently by applying their knowledge and education to all aspects of their lives.
We are happy to share some of our chanichim blogs with you.
