Program Details
Perlman Summer is a seven‑week program that includes ILTC and International Kallah. ILTC is designed to hone leadership skills for teens serving (or aspiring to serve) as regional BBYO position‑holders in their home communities. ILTC participants often become the top leaders of the BBYO teen Movement, gaining skills in recruitment, program planning, and civic engagement. Kallah is a Jewish learning and spirituality institute that inspires teens to explore their Jewish identities and interests in a diverse, pluralistic setting that encourages questioning and experimentation. Kallah participants gain important Judaic skills and come away feeling a deeper connection to Jewish study, Israel, and community. Both programs are expected to reach 200 teens and are based at Lake
