• Israel Education & Advocacy

  ADULTS
  
  Over 100 people have traveled on our 8 congregational trips to Israel in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2007, and 2012. From age 3 1/2 to over 80, we’ve gone from the Golan Heights up north to Eilat in the south, and once went over to Petra in Jordan. While our itinerary varies each time, we always spend plenty of time in Jerusalem, and visit Safed, Masada, the Dead Sea, and Tel Aviv.

  HIGH SCHOOL
  
  We provide scholarships for our High School students to visit Israel on Summer programs. Our students have gone on trips sponsored by NFTY, Ramah Seminar, HaShomer HaTza’ir, BBYO,Young Judea, and Nesiya.

  COLLEGE
  
  Many college students from B’nai Sholom have gone on Birthright-Taglit trips to Israel, FREE trips for students ages 18-29. Our members can get priority status for KESHER Refrom Movement trips by contacting Rabbi Cashman
