“Boot CampUs is a few days of fun, learning, understanding your Jewish heritage, learning about issues the Israel and the Jewish community faces. It’s about being empowered and emboldened!”

-Julian Coakley, Sephardic Division Director, AIPAC

“The relationships I made these 3 days will last a lifetime and leaving felt like saying goodbye to childhood friends. I implore all students to take this opportunity. We must take it upon ourselves to find ways to join the fight, and the SCA’s Boot CampUs offers us a wide range of paths to choose.”

-Noah Levy, Hillel HS

“There’s a lot that other communities can learn from you, as you’re a leader and trailblazing community in the Jewish world”

-Avi Posen, OpenDor Media

“There was not a moment on this trip that wasn’t enjoyed, and I mean that with no exaggeration. Before the conference, when encountered with hate, my instinct was to turn the other way. If felt like I was fighting antisemitism alone; however, I now know that there is a global community backing me up.”

-Jessica Saadia, Yeshiva of Flatbush HS

“Thank you for the privilage of having me part of this very special program. I was really moved by the teenagers and their curiosity and obvious intelligence. The future is bright indeed (B’H).”

-Dr. Mijal Bitton, Shalom Hartman Institute

-Carol Tawil, Magen David Yeshivah HS
