The discovery trip, day by day
Guest speakers at Mehut and CYP events have always been world-class, life-changing voices. All times are New York local time.
Wednesday, January 13: Welcome to New York
- Touch down, drop your bags and kick things off with a warm, lively Mehut welcome dinner, where old friends and brand-new faces become one crew. Time and venue to be announced.
Thursday, January 14: Crown Heights and Manhattan
- Early risers can join an optional, deeply moving Ohel group (about 7–10 a.m.), perfect for anyone who has to leave too early on Sunday to join the main Ohel visit.
- Prefer a slower start? Soak up the buzz of Crown Heights, pray at the legendary 770 and maybe join an inspiring class. Then everyone meets up and heads into Manhattan together.
- The Manhattan adventure: a breathtaking ferry ride past the skyline, a soulful brunch with a captivating guest speaker, an energizing walk through the city, a sky-high tower or observatory view and free time to explore.
- Thursday evening is a separate event, run by CYP: the YJL Business Summit (5–8 p.m.). It is optional, you must apply to attend directly with CYP, and it has its own registration. Apply for the YJL Business Summit. See the box below for details.
- Evening options for everyone else will be announced.
Thursday evening, January 14: YJL Business Summit (apply separately)
On Thursday from 5 to 8 p.m., CYP hosts the YJL Business Summit, where young Jewish professionals from around the world network with leading Jewish CEOs, founders and investors.
This is not part of the Mehut trip packages. It is run by CYP, you must apply to attend directly on their site, and acceptance and any fees are handled by CYP. Joining is totally up to you.
Friday–Sunday, January 15–17: The CYP Encounter
- The international CYP Encounter is run by CYP, from Friday morning through Sunday afternoon. Full details will be announced in the coming weeks. For now, take a look at cypshabbat.nyc.

Redeem your Mehut Studies classes
Your classes in Mehut Studies take money off the package price. Redeeming is optional: you can instead keep your credits for the Mehutton (May 2027) or the money reward and pay the full package price. If you do redeem, choose one option when you register:
| Status | Deducted from the package price | Classes needed |
|---|---|---|
| Platinum, Mehut Studies 2025/26 (5786) | − €250 | 15+ classes |
| Gold, Mehut Studies 2025/26 (5786) | − €180 | 10+ classes |
| Silver, Mehut Studies 2025/26 (5786) | − €100 | 5+ classes |
| Silver, Mehut Studies 2026/27 (5787, this year) | − €100 | 5+ classes |
Last year's classes (2025/26) count toward NYC 2027 only. The Mehutton 2027 counts only this year's classes (2026/27). A class is never used twice: if you use the first 5 classes of this year for NYC 2027, they do not count again for the Mehutton 2027. Keep going to classes: 10 more give you Gold for the Mehutton. If you redeem Silver of this year and you have not reached 5 classes by the time of the event, the difference in price is due before the event. The Mehut team checks your classes before confirming any discount.
