Kayitz Kef
Hebrew at Camp
Kayitz Kef, the Areivim Hebrew at Camp program, gives American Jewish youth the ability to converse in Modern Israeli Hebrew and to own contemporary Israeli culture as part of who they are. Hebrew provides rich and authentic content for one’s Jewish identity without necessarily requiring religious commitment. Kayitz Kef is at the forefront of a movement to inspire a new generation united by passion for Hebrew, Israel, and worldwide Jewish connectedness.
Kayitz Kef is now a program of the Consortium for the Teaching of Hebrew Language and Culture at Brandeis University.
Areivim has provided grant funding to support Kayitz Kef through August of 2026.
Funders of the Kayitz Kef program through Areivim include The Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life, The Marcus Foundation, The Koum Family Foundation, and the Libitzky Family Foundation.
