  ISRAEL &
THE WORLD
   

We coordinate missions to Israel every year. Each mission is planned to:

  • Expose and educate you to the culture and political issues facing Israel
  • Strengthen your Jewish identity
  • Educate you about the impact you make in Israel
  • Facilitate interaction and build relationships between visitors and Israelis

All of our missions are staffed with knowledgeable bilingual guides who provide a unique and in-depth exploration of Israel.  You will get a first-hand view of the impact you make on the daily lives of Israelis.  You will also have the opportunity to collaborate on and participate in the programs and projects we bring to Israel. And most important, you will have an opportunity to engage in a meaningful dialogue with Israelis making a difference in Israel and in Israel-Diaspora relations.

Whenever we visit Israel, we travel up to the country’s northern region. The Upper Galilee is one of Israel’s most beautiful provinces, offering an abundance of adventure travel opportunities.

Join us for one of these upcoming scheduled missions:

Diller Teen Fellows: Summer Seminar

As a part of the year-long Diller Teen Fellows program, all four Diller Teen Fellow (DTF) groups (Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit and San Francisco) will be attending a three-week summer seminar that will inspire powerful friendships with their peers and engage them in Jewish life and learning. Join them on this journey as they report, first-hand and in their own words, how this experience profoundly impacts their lives.

Israel at 60 Mega Mission

Give yourself a gift by joining us in Israel for a community-wide celebration of Israel’s 60th anniversary. This mission will take place during the days between the Holocaust Remembrance Day and Yom Hazikaron (Day of Remembrance for the Israeli soldiers) ending on Yom Ha’atzmaut, Independence Day). These are very powerful and meaningful days in Israel that shed light on the meaning of “from destruction to rebuilding.” Join us April 30 through May 8, 2008 for the trip of a lifetime. Contact us for more details.
