Yagilu Wilderness

Yagilu offers a safe and adventurous summer, where the boys can enjoy the calm and inspiration of the forest. In Yagilu, campers open up to the wonders of Hashem’s natural world and learn to appreciate their place in it. Highlights include thrilling hikes with astonishing views, meaningful Shabbos davening and dancing, and different trips (these change every year and have included white water rafting, caving and rock climbing trips). The campers also learn Mountain Torah – a unique way of learning halacha through all of our activities. The camp adventures begin in our campsite in the mountains, where the campers spend most of the summer. The campers enjoy traditional camp comforts, like sleeping in a bunkhouse on a bed, and three hot, delicious and nutritious meals in our dining room. The activities — like making fires, cutting down trees, building, and whittling — are where the wilderness survival experience begins! We also have learning every day, including Perek Shira following davening, and an hour shiur in the morning, including hike days. Additionally, almost all of the daily activities are presented in a Torah context. Shabbos too is a very important time in Yagilu. Many campers credit Yagilu with opening them up to appreciating Shabbos in a deeper way. During the year, Tani runs Teambuilding with Tani, offering teambuilding activities for schools and businesses. He also offers keynote speeches on topics like building resilience through competence, earning trust and learning to trust others, inspired Jewish practice, and many more.
