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.
