A Primary Commitment to Safety and Security


TRY/USY High does not compromise on safety, and has earned an outstanding reputation for its strict enforcement of all safety and security procedures.


TRY/USY High staff react swiftly and responsibly to any change in circumstances in the field.  If certain programs need to be altered, every effort is made to compensate participants with special “extras” somewhere else in the program.


TRY/USY High operates with a total commitment to both participants’ well being and their parents’ piece of mind.  TRY/USY High follows a policy of active, on-going contact with parents throughout the program that includes a weekly update from the Parent Liaison, web page reports and pictures, direct e-mail correspondence and phone availability both in the US and Israel.


TRY/USY High’s standard operating procedures include:

  1. •Strict adherence to the security policies established by Israel’s Ministry of Education, governing all field trips for visiting youth, and in consultation with the Jewish Agency and World Zionist Organization security departments.

  2. •All field trips are accompanied by licensed security personnel.

  3. •All field trips are cleared in advance, and then again prior to each day’s program, with the appropriate authorities.

  4. •Transportation to all programmed activities is handled by chartered buses that keep in constant communication with Ramah personnel through short-wave radio and cellular phones.

  5. •There is no travel over the “Green Line” except in very specific areas determined safe by Israel’s security services.

  6. •All participants are given a complete security briefing immediately upon arrival, and provided with a convenient card listing all relevant telephone numbers they may need.


Health


Participant well-being is of primary concern throughout the program, which is operated in strict adherence to the guidelines established by Israel's security services. As to health insurance, you will have full medical coverage throughout the semester and access to Israel’s finest doctors and medical facilities should you need them.
