Join your friends from Temple Israel on their first congregational trip to the land of our ancestors in 10 years. The trip, which takes place from June 16-26, 2019, is open to the whole Central Florida Jewish community and offers something for everyone.

The cost is at most $2,500 per person but is reduced by a few hundred dollars for every five people registered. This price is for land only and includes admission to main sites, a daily breakfast, bus transportation and a professional tour guide 24/7. Participants are responsible for buying their airline tickets to and from Ben Gurion Airport.
