Summer 2008 Taglit-birthright Israel Trip with ALEPH

Go to Israel for Free with ALEPH and Taglit-birthright Israel!

Experience Israel and Jewish Renewal like never before

RENEWAL IN ISRAEL is a 10-day trip designed especially for ALEPH members and friends. We will pray at the Kotel, float in the Dead Sea, participate in a traditional Bedouin feast and tour Jerusalem. Our plan is to go during the last two weeks of July.

Our special Jewish Renewal focus will add visits with Israeli Jewish Renewal teachers and peacemakers, an ecstatic welcome of Shabbat, the mystical energy of Sfat, chanting, drumming and singing niggunim on the bus, ecological teachings and visits, rituals at the Holocaust Memorial Museum and at the Kotel, sunrise prayers at Massada and more. Israel Outdoors brings an active, engaged focus to the trip that will add memorable components like kayaking, water hiking and dancing on the Galilee.

RENEWAL IN ISRAEL is truly a once in a life-time opportunity. First trip participant Amanda Feinstein said: "I secretly hoped I would encounter at least one life-altering moment that would bring me back to my heritage. I was not prepared to be having these experiences on a daily basis. Never before have I gone on a trip where all of my needs felt so met (except for sleep, of course). We were offered prayer and meditation services every morning, tons of exercise during the day, vegetarian food, wonderful leaders and 38 new friends. Although there were so many amazing and memorable moments on this trip, the most meaningful aspect of my experience has been finding a sense of belonging with the Jewish people for the FIRST time in my entire life. Thank you so much to all of the people who made this trip possible, for me and for all of us."
