FAQ

Why is LITT different?

Batya, a unique network for Jewish teens, is already servicing 100s of girls throughout the US who are actively involved in the organization, forging meaningful and personal relationships. With the culture of positivity, growth, and empowerment, the Batya girls are primed and eager to take their existing relationships to a next level experience. By offering the powerful experience of exploring the history and connection with Israel within Batya's already existing trajectory of powerful relationships and mindset, LITT participants will be able to reach tremendous heights.

Living Israel Totally Together!

Total spirituality, Total growth, Total experience, Total fun!

Modeling Batya's uniquely successful style, LITT plans a carefully designed itinerary to maximize on every single day of the trip, and every part of the experience

Are scholarships available?

Yes!

The financial aid application is part of the online registration process. Scholarship decisions are based on need and on involvement in Batya programs, and are made after an applicant has been accepted.

Please note, many outside organizations offer scholarships for summer programs. You might consider calling your local Federation, ZOA, JCC, or Synagogue for scholarship assistance.

If you request financial aid, a representative from LITT will call you to assist you in the process. Our staff will work with you to access resources beyond LITT scholarship to reach a fee that is feasible based on individual need.

How is the itinerary unique?

Most teen Israel trips include a lot of museum and lecture time. LITT believes that true learning is experiential, and packs the schedule with a combination of extreme fun and immersion experiences which create lasting memories and lasting impact.

In the space of LITT’s 16-day trip, you can expect more activities, more experiences, and more location spots than the typical four-week program.

Can I extend my stay in Israel?

Yes. To extend a ticket, you will need to contact the office, and you will then be directed to our travel agent who will make the accommodations. Program staff cannot arrange flights. Note: Any additional fees associated with the change are the responsibility of the program participant.

Once the trip has departed, how can we be in touch?

Prior to the trip, we will provide you with information for international cell phone rental service through a third party. There will also be an emergency number available to reach our staff.

Upon completion of your online application, you will receive a confirmation email. Within two weeks of your application, you will be contacted with the status of your application and the next steps.
