Join your Temple Community in the Holy Land!
Israel is an intrinsic part of our Jewish soul & collective spirit. We pray toward Jerusalem, chant Torah in Hebrew, study & engage, wrestle with & celebrate our Jewish home, an extraordinary symbol of hope & promise in the Middle East. From our youngest preschoolers to our most active Chai Villagers, Israel is part of everything we are at Isaiah.
With a sense of optimism and excitement, we are thrilled to share these opportunities for Isaians of all ages to travel to Israel with one another and with your Temple community. Read on for more information and get ready to join us ba’Aretz!
Summer 2023 – Intergenerational Journey to Israel
June 21 – July 2, 2023
Join Rabbi Jaclyn Cohen and her family on the trip of a lifetime! This trip is open to all ages and includes just about everything you could imagine on an “Israel’s Greatest Hits” list, perfect for first-timers. We’ll pray at the Western Wall, sample falafel on Ben Yehuda street, marvel at the Namal in Tel Aviv, surf the Mediterranean, honor the memory of generations past at Yad Vashem, float in the Dead Sea and so much more.
Additionally:
As an “add-on” to the main trip we’ll have options for those looking to engage more deeply in Israel’s politics, food, arts & culture, an ideal approach for those returning to Israel for their second (or third, or eighteenth) time.
And … CALLING ALL HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!
