Background for Israel Trips

Israel is an ever-changing mosaic of peoples, cultures, and identities. Go behind the newspaper headlines and television sound bites to examine the social and ideological realities of contemporary Israeli life. Through personal encounters, you will learn about key challenges facing Israel and the steps Israelis are taking to meet them.
Meet the players.

Explore the country.
Visit the separation fence and see how it affects the lives of Israelis and Palestinians. Wander off the beaten track, touring little known neighborhoods and villages in the north and south. Celebrate Shabbat in an Israeli home. Enjoy time at the top spa in Israel.
