The Ash Levi - Post Nesiah Camp

The Ash Levi post Nesiah Camp is BJE’s signature leadership development program. At this camp, Year 11 students develop crucial leadership skills that enable them to become active change-makers in our Jewish community and broader society.

Key aspects of the Camp include:

  • Development of lifelong leadership capabilities (including being role models to others) as well as teamwork, relationship-building and communication skills;
  • In-depth engagement about taking personal responsibility for actions and the world we live in; and
  • A reunion opportunity for students who attended the Nesiah Israel Program in Year 10.

“After Israel, Leadership Camp was so much fun, it made me so happy to all be back together again and have a small reunion, even if it was only for a few days. It was such a great weekend and felt really amazing to spend time reflecting on such a crazy trip. In my favourite program, we learnt about media bias and discussed how you can see it in everyday life which was very eye opening. I was really sad when camp was over but it further cemented the bonds I made with my group of friends and I loved it.”

“The Ash Levi Leadership Camp provided me with so much insight into what I can do to be the best person I can be. It equipped me with a wide variety of skills I have taken into my everyday life. Aside from this, it was also a brilliant opportunity to catch up with all of the people from the BJE trip. The weekend went so fast, but I thoroughly enjoyed every single second.”.

"The Leadership Camp was really fun! The Leadership Camp allowed me to gain knowledge of how our leaders today shape our world and our society. I gained perspective about past and present leaders and what leadership qualities they had. The camp provided me with insight into what is classified as a leader with fun activities to support this like getting into groups covering an egg with different materials so when we drop our product the egg won't fall. The camp was an amazing experience and a great way to reunite with everyone again!"

“In March I had the most amazing opportunity to not only be reunited with my best friends but also learn about leadership and my future in the Jewish community. For me, the best part was being able to learn with my friends again. I didn’t realise how much I missed learning with friends until I went on the Leadership camp. There was one program that we participated in that centred around the idea of whether it is most important to be the leader or the first follower. My whole life I have been told to be a leader in my school and community, but through participating in this program I have been able to realise that there are so many other important roles in society that are needed for any leader to be successful. Overall, the camp was so much more than just hanging out with my besties, and I’m so thankful for that.”

"The BJE Leadership camp was so much fun! It was so great to reconnect with all our friends and Madrichim from Israel and to relive all those amazing experiences. The exciting, informative activities reinforced all the important lessons we learnt from our Israel trip and helped us to develop our leadership skills and Jewish identity! I had such a great time!"
