Why Sun & Study?
Do you love Shabbat meals at your Chabad House on campus?
Did you go on a Birthright trip to Israel or Pegisha in NYC and then wonder what’s next?
Have you done a magical week at Snorkel & Study in Key Largo?
Do you ever wonder…
What does it mean to be a Jew today?
What can I do about antisemitism? Does what I do make a difference?
Do Jews believe in reincarnation? Is Judaism sexist?
How do I know if what I believe is true? Should I start to light Shabbat candles? Why marry Jewish?
Is abortion allowed in Judaism? What does Torah say about dealing with anxiety, sadness and guilt? What's the Jewish key to happiness? Is cheese cake kosher??
So many questions...and NOW is the time to get answers!
Southwest Utah
YOUR DESTINATION FOR SUN & STUDY 2025!
What's on the Agenda
A crash course in Judaism you take at your own pace, created especially for YOU.
Provocative discussions, text-based Jewish learning, eye-opening Q&A with experts, challah baking and farbrengens (ask us!), and a rocking talent show with your new best friends from around the world.
Hike the spectacular red rock at breathtaking Zion National Park. Take a swim in one of our private pools every morning, work out in the exercise room, or go canoeing, kayaking or horseback riding on your break.
At Sun & Study you'll explore Jewish thinking, texts and traditions with the A-list educators.
Explore one of the most breathtaking parts of the country. Make lasting friendships with your Jewish peers from around the world. And have candid conversations about everything from love, dating and intimacy, to souls, reincarnation, free will and abortion. You'll find out what Jews believe, why we pray, what's the key to happiness and what really happened in the Garden of Eden.

I can't believe how much I learned in such a short period of time, and about so many things I didn't expect.
~ Amie from Montreal
The teachers are such strong, smart, outspoken women. Seriously, I've never met Jewish women like this before - they're not intimidated by anything.
~ Claire from Bellmore
I never had Jewish friends so I was kind of expecting not to make any friends at all here. Instead I'm leaving with 2 of the closest friends I've ever had.
~ Robby from El Paso
