Selecting Our Staff

Selecting Our Staff

From Where & How Do We Select Our Staff?

Tel Yehudah hires the highest-caliber, talented, passionate staff to build and lead our programs each summer. Our staff serves as exceptional role models and mentors to our teen participants. Staff applicants complete a detailed application, participate in a thorough interview aimed at assessing their strengths, weaknesses, and commitment to our program’s aims, and undergo a professional background check. An extremely high percentage of our North American staff are graduates of Young Judaea programs, which means they have benefited from participation in our programs and have a strong desire to give back to the next generation. Each summer we bring a delegation of staff members from Israel that allows our teens to create a truly personal relationship to a multi-faceted Israel. We also bring an increasing number of staff members from the UK through our partnership with the Federation of Zionist Youth as well as from Argentina, Russia and other countries in Europe.
