Why Bamidbar
BaMidbar was born from the Jewish camping movement.
It was founded on the power of experiential education and the belief that Jewish tradition provides tremendous opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
We combine the wisdom, strength, and support inherent in Jewish tradition, with a clinically sophisticated, evidence-based model.
By doing so, BaMidbar provides the framework for Jewish teens and young adults to navigate life’s challenges, find their voice and agency, and rediscover their capacity for a brighter tomorrow.
