Synagogue Groups

Traveling to Israel as a community is a unique opportunity to strengthen local bonds and provide a deeply meaningful experience. Authentic Israel organizes community programs on behalf of Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist, Renewal, and unaffiliated synagogue groups.

Custom Israel Experiences

Authentic Israel community experiences can be geared for families, seniors, singles, or on a cross-generational basis. We plan each program collaboratively with local leadership, because we understand that no two groups have the same expectations and dreams for experiencing Israel. Additionally, Authentic Israel has the know-how to organize niche Israel programs for groups with a particular interest in arts & culture, culinary tourism, tikun olam, outdoor adventure and Jewish learning.

A Proven Track Record

In addition to serving individual synagogues of all denominations across North America and Europe, we at Authentic Israel are especially honored to be the provider of national movement Israel trips sponsored by the United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism through it's HAZAK division.

Program Planning

A successful community Israel experience is always based on a well thought-out itinerary and an organized trip planning process. We also understand the importance of working hand-in-hand with religious leaders, community professionals, and lay leaders alike.
