Mentors Mission to Israel : Dec 29, 2009 - Jan 3, 2010

You can make a difference in a young man's life.

Ohr Somayach has, in its 37 year history, brought thousands of young Jews to a life of
Torah u'Mitzvohs  through its Jewish Learning Exchange (JLE) program which brings college-age men to the Yeshiva in Yerushalayim for three to six weeks, for its unique blend of high level shiurim in Torah and hashkafa given by some of the most exciting and knowledgeable talmidei chachamim.

Integral to this Jewish Learning Exchange (JLE) program is intensive touring and interaction with madrichim and tutors.

Ohr Somayach has been doing an excellent job at exposing the JLE participants to Torah u'Mitzvohs during their stay. Since the mentors have joined the program, it has been enhanced many-fold. The exposure of the JLE students and continued contact with yeshiva-educated, successful people who have the sensitivity and empathy needed to serve as role models and effective mentors, help integrate these Jewishly evolving students into the larger frum world.

The opportunity is being extended to you and your wife to join us in Eretz Yisrael for an exciting six days including an inspiring Shabbos.

Be a pioneering mentor to these young men – both in Yerushalayim and when they return to their studies in North America.

You can make a difference in the lives of these young searching Jews.

Join us on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
