Last Friday featured more of Tel Aviv including the famous Carmel Market and an afternoon on the beach. A few participants were able to connect with other friends they had traveling across Israel which reminded them how unique and special both the Jewish community and Israel truly are. Our second Shabbat in Israel was spent [...]
Israel Journey
Our day began bright and early…well so early it wasn’t even bright! After spending a night under the stars in a bedouin tent, we all packed up our things at 4 AM and made our way to Masada. We had a short hike via the Roman Ramp up to the top of the fortress to [...]
This week is going to be the BEST week of our life, guaranteed. We already started it off with what I felt was the best day of my life. We started off the morning by snorkeling in the Red Sea. I can not explain to you over an email what this experience was like. It [...]

Our itinerary is so jam packed that sometimes it’s hard to remember what we did even yesterday! We started Monday with touring the mystical city of Tzfat – the home of Kabbalah.

On our first full day in Jerusalem, we planted trees and learned about how king David established the first capital city of a Jewish state – the city of David. We also visited the Western Wall which was a very meaningful experience for all of [...]
Friday, we began our day learning about Machon Ayalon, a secret, historical ammunition factory. Then, we went to Nahalat Binyamin Street, where we had lunch at the market, went shopping and cooled off with smoothies. After, we went to The Banana Beach and soaked in the sun and jumped the waves! We headed back to [...]
After 10 hours on a plane, we finally landed in the land of Israel! The adjustment to the time change and the warmer temperature was a challenge, but we are staying hydrated and using sunscreen (our staff won’t let us forget!). We kicked off Thursday morning at Neot Kedumim Biblical Park. This is a unique [...]
Our first day in the Golan Heights kicked off strong with a short hike to a waterfall. We then headed to our Jeep tour near the Syrian border and Mt. Ben Tal. The teens loved the Jeep tour – especially our guides who were charismatic and informative. That evening we experience the Druze culture for [...]
