On USY on Wheels, Jewish life is part of the journey. Teens pray together daily, celebrate Shabbat with singing and dancing, and co-lead Torah services to grow as leaders. Life on the bus is just as fun as the destinations, with Tikkun Olam projects, dance parties, games, and more. Designed for current 8th–10th graders, Wheels is a chance to celebrate Judaism, build community, and discover that you can create kehilla (community) wherever life takes you.
