At this point our numbers have skyrocketed and we are currently only able to welcome participants to our program who were either in DiscoverU this past summer, are currently on Oorah’s tuition assistance program, or were on the ChillZone stipend program last year.
Chavrusahs are determined by Head Chillers and ChillZone staff. Need a different chavrusah? Just get approval from ChillZone Head Staff.
You can get reimbursed one way for a taxi if your yeshiva is in Jerusalem, you are traveling from your yeshiva, you are traveling for over a half hour, and proof of payment is provided. The taxi must be shared by 3 or more boys.
You can get reimbursed one way for a bus if your yeshiva is outside of Jerusalem, you are traveling from yeshiva, you are traveling for over a half hour, and proof of payment is provided.
ChillZone operates in 4 week cycles (3 weeks if there is a vacation or holiday interrupting). During 4 week cycles, attend 3 out of 4 weeks for a stipend of $125. Attend all 4 weeks and get $150! During 3 week cycles, attend all 3 weeks for $125, or 2 weeks for $100.
You will receive a card once you complete a cycle and are eligible to receive a stipend. Money is loaded automatically to your card at the end of each cycle.
If your card is lost or stolen, you can purchase a new one for 50 shekel.
If you have a dispute concerning eligibility for a stipend, you can easily prove your attendance with screenshots from the ChillZone WhatsApp group (time and date stamp needed). The dispute window is open for 30 days after a cycle ends.
ChillZone start times will be announced weekly on the ChillZone Jerusalem chat. Be sure to sign in within the first 15 minutes after that in order to qualify for your stipend. No sign-in means no record of attendance.
