Abstract:
The research analyses the research on the impact of an Israel Experience on the subsequent Jewish identity and involvement of young Jews. Four conclusions emerge: almost all the participants have expressed satisfaction with the experience; this experience contributes to several important dimensions of general adolescent development; it contributes to the development of positive Jewish attitudes and behaviors and last, research shows that there is a connection between subsequent Jewish identity and the participation in a teen Israel Experience.
