What to come with
A positive attitude
Clothing:
Regular, eidel yeshiva style clothing, swim wear, eidel sneakers.
Linen:
Come with bedding (full size or twin)
Other items:
Of course, bochurim should not possess newspapers, secular books, cigarettes, non-chassidishe music, or any other inappropriate or negative items.
Bochurim should not bring or possess “smart devices” that are capable of internet access such as iPod Touch, etc..*
There is a public phone available to the bochurim. Bochurim will certainly have a more productive summer if they do not have a cell phone with them. However, if it is necessary for a bochur to have a cell phone, it must be entrusted with a member of the hanholoh who will return it to the talmid for a specific time frame.
* Any such devices will be held by the hanholoh and returned only at the end of the summer.

Medical
Please inform us about any unique medical situation that we should know about.
Insurance:
While the Yeshiva endeavors to provide the talmidim with a safe environment, the Yeshiva cannot bear any financial burden for medical care of the talmidim.
While most insurances cover emergency room visits, please make sure with you son's insurance company that he'll be covered for non-emergency care while out of his home state.
Alternatively, he may be eligible for Iowa Medicaid, for which we will be in touch with you. Or, you may consider purchasing travelers insurance. (You can check sites such as insuremytrip.com, squaremouth.com, quotewright.com among others.)
