Family Trip to Israel
As you would expect, we’ll be swimming in the Dead Sea, hiking up Masada, eating a falafel in Tel Aviv and praying at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. But on an Emanu-El family trip, you’ll do so much more, including:
- Celebrating Shabbat dinner in the homes of Israeli Reform Jewish families like our own
- Meeting with active duty IDF soldiers serving near the Egyptian border
- Picking oranges left by the farmers on the trees, to be distributed to needy Israelis
- Going jeep riding and rappelling
in the Ramon Crater
There are special activities for family members of every age: For teens, highlights are a tour of Tel Aviv graffiti art and cycling on Jerusalem’s answer to the High Line; for adults, wine tasting and a date-night in Jerusalem; and for kids (and everyone who is young at heart), a crawl through the Meresha Cave labyrinth and a trip to the world-class Jerusalem Biblical Zoo.
Israel is also the ideal place for a child to become
a bar or bat mitzvah, in a worship service led by Rabbi Davidson.

We look forward traveling with you!
