In our 17th year, the mission of the Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program is to share the joy of Judaism, build community, and celebrate our Jewish heritage with a rich adult education program and unique family experiences.
Whether we are picking apples for Rosh Hashana, celebrating Shabbat while camping, clapping along with Jewish Blues or Rock musicians, hosting a community-wide Shabbat Alive outdoors, learning with internationally-known scholars or making life-long Jewish friends at family and adult retreats, CSP has programs to offer for all ages.
We ignite passion for Judaism!

CSP is supported by an Impact Grant from Jewish Federation & Family Services, Orange County and by a generous grant from the Jewish Community Foundation of Orange County.
NYC is the center of the Jewish American experience. It’s where American Judaism was born and where it matured. And now, it is where Judaism is being re-visioned. Join us on a 6 day walking/talking/eating/learning adventure to NYC (October 16-22, 2018) co-sponsored by the Orange County Jewish Community Scholar Program (www.occsp.org), Congregation B’nai Israel of Tustin (www.cbi18.org) and the Jewish Community Foundation of Orange County (www.jcfoc.org).
From the Lower East Side to the Upper West Side, Harlem, Coney Island, Brighton Beach and Borough Park, we will immerse ourselves in our ever-evolving history with the goal of learning about our origins as Jewish Americans and meeting American Jews who are working to revolutionize Judaism in order to insure that our story is one that still has many pages left to share with future generations.
Highlights will include: An optional early add on day luxury coach trip to the Gomez Mill House (the oldest Jewish site in North America) and the FDR Library and Museum, including lunch at the beautiful Inn at Buttermilk Falls; private tour of the United Nations; Walking tours of Lower East Side, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, Harlem, Borough Park, Coney Island and Brighton Beach; Literary Pub Crawl in Greenwich Village; Scott's Pizza Tour; Bushwick Graffiti and Street Art Tour and much more!
