Kanfei Nesharim empowers Jewish teens to explore the world, discover themselves, and deepen their connection to Hashem through extraordinary adventure, meaningful Torah growth, and a supportive community that feels like family.
For over 30 years, Kanfei has brought together the wonder of world travel with the beauty of Jewish values—creating life-changing experiences that open the heart, spark inner confidence, and inspire a lasting sense of purpose and identity.
Explore breathtaking landscapes, take on incredible challenges, and build friendships that last a lifetime—all within an uplifting Torah environment.
Five transformative programs. One Kanfei experience. Your journey starts here.
For three decades, Kanfei Nesharim has been a trailblazer in Jewish experiential education—combining world-class adventure with deep spiritual development. Founded by Rabbi Benzion Scheinfeld, Kanfei is built on a simple yet profound belief:
When teens step outside their comfort zone and experience the beauty of Hashem’s world, they open the door to discovering the beauty within themselves.
From the snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps to the lush rainforests of Costa Rica, every Kanfei program is carefully designed to bring out each participant’s strengths, curiosity, resilience, and inner light.
Our approach is unique:
We blend exhilarating physical challenge with Torah learning, Tefillah, and thoughtful guidance from experienced educators who know how to create a warm, growth-oriented environment. The result?
A summer that moves the Neshama, inspires real confidence, and builds Jewish pride that lasts long after the trip ends.
Every hike, ski run, rafting trip, or outdoor challenge is chosen not just for fun—but to expand self-awareness, teamwork, and inner strength.
Kashrut, Tefillah, Torah study, Shabbat, and Jewish values create the foundation of every day. This structure gives meaning to everything we experience together.
We encourage teens to push past perceived limits and discover the resilience, independence, and confidence that comes from real adventure.
Kanfei is more than a trip, it’s a family. Our groups quickly become tight-knit communities where everyone is valued, supported, and respected.
These aren’t standard summer trips—each program immerses teens in remote, stunning, and culturally rich environments that inspire awe and curiosity.
Rabbi Scheinfeld and the Kanfei staff bring decades of educational experience, emotional insight, outdoor leadership, and a deep passion for working with teens.
Learning is woven naturally into the rhythm of travel. Inspirational discussions, meaningful Tefillot, and Shabbat in extraordinary places create unforgettable spiritual moments.
Participants learn to work hard, encourage each other, and achieve things they never thought possible—always with staff guidance, safety, and encouragement.
A once-in-a-lifetime journey through the Southern Hemisphere—skiing the majestic Alps of New Zealand, exploring Australia’s natural wonders, and ending with the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii. This is our flagship program, where adventure and spiritual growth reach new heights.
Experience South America’s rich culture, dramatic landscapes, and exhilarating outdoor challenges—from the Andes to the lush tropics. A powerful blend of Torah inspiration, adventure, and leadership development.
Designed exclusively for boys seeking a deeper, more focused adventure and growth experience. Offering more of a masmidim style Torah atmosphere, making this a uniquely powerful program.
From Hawaiian volcanoes to Alaska’s majestic glaciers, this program offers unmatched natural beauty and personal growth. A nurturing environment for girls ready to explore, connect, and discover their inner strength.
A vibrant, adventurous journey across South and Central America—filled with challenge, culture, inspiration, and unforgettable bonding. Designed for girls who want a summer of meaning and momentum.
Discover Hashem’s world. Discover who you can become.
