Torah Tours: Spreading the Yom Tov Spirit
Now in its third decade, the Aaron and Blanche Schreiber Torah Tours
of CJF shares the Torah knowledge and enthusiasm of Yeshiva University
and Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary
(RIETS) students and alumni with Jewish communities throughout the
world. During the holiday celebration of Simchat Torah, teams of four to
six young men and women visit communities across the United States,
Canada and Europe to teach Torah classes, lead singing and dancing, meet
with synagogue youth and create a fun and spirited yom tov experience.
In 2010, more than 400 student volunteers participated in the program.
We are delighted to once again offer Torah Tours to your community.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have questions.
To Apply

Please note that there are a limited number of Torah Tours requests
that we can fill each year, so get your requests in early. While we try
to service as many synagogues as possible, no synagogue is guaranteed a
group of students until we know how many students have signed up to
participate. All synagogues will be contacted by September 15 with
information about whether or not they will be receiving a group.
If you have any questions, please contact us at 212.960.5400 ext. 6751 or at torahtours@yu.edu.
