JOURNEY TO ISRAEL

A perfect opportunity to explore Israel for the first time or to return for a fresh perspective. Together we will experience the magic of Jerusalem, the thrill of the Dead Sea, and the beauty of the Galilee. The program includes visits to Israel’s must-sees along with wonderful cultural experiences, an authentic Shabbat in Jerusalem, insightful speakers, and meals at top Israeli restaurants. For our participants' convenience, this program is based out of two hotels in Jerusalem and in the Galilee. Program Itinerary: Journey to Israel

ISRAEL REVISITED

Return to Israel on a truly off-the-beaten path experience. Explore the Carmel Mountains, the Western Galilee, the Mediterranean Coast, the Negev Desert, and return to Jerusalem! Along the way, we will explore the ocean swept grottoes of Rosh Hanikrah, learn how to bake pita bread, gaze across the Ramon Crater and relax at a spa hotel in the heart of the desert. See a whole new side of Israel and discover the magic of the Jewish Homeland anew. Program Itinerary: Israel Revisited
