An Affordable Israel Trip for High School Students
Visiting Israel is one of the most important and formative experiences in your teenager’s Jewish development. The Edie and Paul Rosenblum Gift of Israel Program helps parents send high school students on immersive summer trips to Israel by making participation more affordable.
During these trips, your teen will have the opportunity to:
- Forge a very personal bond with Jewish history and ancestry
- Meet new people and make lasting friendships
- Absorb the incomparable feeling of Jewish community
Thanks to non-need based funding from the Edie and Paul Rosenblum Gift of Israel Program, along with a generous, anonymous donor, your teen’s transformative trip to Israel is far more affordable.
Eligibility:
- The trip must be an organized educational program of no less than three weeks and must be approved by Federation.
- The participant must be in high school the semester prior to the trip, and not have graduated from high school at the time of the trip.
