Safety + Security

YALLAH! Israel has operated outstanding summer and semester programs in Israel for over 65 years.

Throughout, Yallah! Israel has earned a well-deserved reputation for aspiring to provide the highest standard of health, safety and security in all its youth travel programs. Over six decades, we have always placed the welfare of young people entrusted to our care above all other considerations and are highly responsive to ever-changing needs and conditions.

Please see below (under Yallah! Israel Updates) for a full outline of our Safety & Security protocols.  

Safety & Security

YALLAH! Israel is cautious and conservative

  • Throughout their stays, Yallah! Israel groups reside in secure accommodations
  • Itineraries are reviewed daily – and changed as necessary – to ensure that planned routes and destinations provide the highest level of safety
  • Yallah! Israel’s full-time education and logistics professionals in Israel consult daily with the Security Department of the Jewish Agency for Israel who are in constant contact with the Israeli government, police, and military authorities

YALLAH! Israel groups only travel in the safest and most secure areas

  • Yallah! Israel groups travel only in our own chartered buses – never on public transportation
  • With appropriate safety protocols in place, Yallah! Israel provides comprehensive touring and learning programs focused on ancient and modern Israel
  • Contingency plans will be implemented as necessary to move groups to safety and/or to bring them home as appropriate

YALLAH! Israel keeps parents
well-informed

  • Parents can reach the senior supervisors in Israel and the U.S. 24 hours a day for the duration of the summer program.
  • Yallah! Israel’s office in North America is open 8 hours a day and we check voicemail every weekday.
  • Our website is available 24 hours a day for updates and news. It is our goal to provide as much information as possible, enabling families to make informed decisions about their teen’s participation.

YALLAH! Israel outlines all safety and security guidelines

  • Yallah! Israel participants and parents must sign the Yallah! Israel Code of Conduct, signifying their willingness to abide by all rules, regulations and safety guidelines throughout the program
  • Yallah! Israel staff members and participants receive a thorough orientation regarding expectations for appropriate behavior and safety and security procedures and protocols
