SKIP: Send a Kid to Israel Partnership

Give your child the gift of Israel.
One day - sooner than you expect - your child will become a teenager. A trip to Israel is one of the most important formative experiences in your child's Jewish development. Our "Send A Kid to Israel Partnership," known as SKIP, can help make that trip possible. SKIP unites families, congregations, and the Jewish Federation of Northwest Indiana in giving your child the opportunity to experience Israel firsthand.

How SKIP Works
Students in third through sixth grades who are enrolled in a Jewish religious school program in Northwest Indiana are eligible for initial enrollment in SKIP.
  • Each year until the student graduates high school, contingent upon continued participation in a Jewish program approved by your congregation, three partners contribute to your child's SKIP account.
  • Parents and synagogues or temples make a joint contribution of $150.
  • This amount is matched annually by the Jewish Federation to total $300.
The SKIP Fund will accrue interest on an annual basis and will be managed by the Jewish Federation. You will receive an annual report of your SKIP account(s). Additional monies may be added (but not matched) to the fund at any time.

Travel to Israel
Students may use their SKIP money for an approved Israel program (including Birthright) anytime between the end of 9th grade and age 32. Unused money is returned to its source: the family, congregation, or Federation.

How to Enroll
Enrollments are arranged only through participating congregations.  Please contact your congregation for further information.
