MULTI-GENERATIONAL
8-12 DAYS

Discover the very best of Israel on this pluralistic Jewish travel experience designed for everyone in the family and welcoming to all.

Our carefully crafted itinerary covers Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, Masada, the Judean Desert, the Sea of Galilee, the Golan Heights, Haifa, the Mediterranean Coast, and Tel Aviv – with plenty of off-the-beaten-path discoveries and delicious meals your family will cherish along the way. Choose from an 8-day, 10-day, or 12-day itinerary with fixed tour dates scheduled throughout the summer and winter vacation seasons.

Israel Family Journey is an Authentic Israel program organized in association with BBYO (prior involvement with BBYO is not necessary). The program is organized in-house by our staff and led by our elite guides and counselors, allowing us to provide you with a higher level of service, a truly educational experience, and exceptional value.

Traveling to Israel as a family is an especially meaningful way to mark a child’s coming of age. For those who wish to take part, there will be a brief and symbolic ceremony led by our staff in the Galilee (summer) or Masada (winter) to mark the occasion. This brief ceremony does not involve reading from the Torah, and no prior preparation is required. If you are interested in organizing a more traditional ceremony including Torah reading in Jerusalem or elsewhere, there are opportunities to do so before, during or after the tour. Contact us for planning advice, if you wish to be referred to a local rabbi who can design and lead a ceremony that fits your own family’s vision, or if you are seeking "mitzvah project" ideas. Keep in mind that becoming a Bar or Bat Mitzvah is simply about reaching this milestone age. No ceremony is required in Jewish tradition, and for many families, the mere act of traveling through the Land of Israel together is the most impactful way to celebrate this happy occasion.
