Why Snorkel & Study?

Are you asking: What does it mean to be a Jew today? What do Jews believe? Why is Israel important? How does good stand a chance in the face of evil?

Did you go on a Birthright trip to Israel and then wonder what’s next?

Do you love Friday night Shabbat meals at your Chabad House on campus?

Did you go to Pegisha National Shabbaton in New York City?

Are you looking for more?

Do You Wonder?

Why is there so much antisemitism in the world?

Do Jews believe in souls?

Why marry Jewish? 

Is abortion allowed in Judaism?

What does Torah say about dealing with anxiety, sadness and guilt?

How do I know if what I believe is true?

In one week at Snorkel & Study you'll explore Jewish thinking, texts and traditions with these A-list educators.

Snorkel and swim in gorgeous sunny Florida. Make lasting friendships with your Jewish peers from around the world. And have candid conversations about everything from antisemitism and Jewish unity, to the battle between good and evil. 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. You'll go home a stronger, smarter, prouder Jewish woman.

What's on the Agenda

A crash course in Judaism you take at your own pace.

Hold on because these 7 days are going to go fast. This is a crash course in Judaism like no other.

If you’re ready to go deep, for an intense week of study, take every class on the schedule and fill in with tutorials. If you're just starting to explore and want to take it lighter, we’ll let you know which main classes you should attend.

Whatever you do, leave your preconceptions about Judaism home, keep an open mind and don’t miss the challah baking, the farbrengens (we’ll explain) or the talent show. There are going to be lots of surprises.

She said, she said.

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
