IsraelNow is a magical, week-long, immersive trip to Israel for eighth-grade students. This inclusive Jewish experience aims to introduce 8th-grade teens to the culture, people, and the State of Israel. The hope is to inspire a desire for more Jewish and Israel-related knowledge and experiences, build Jewish friendships, and ultimately, enroll in both formal and informal Jewish education and programming during high school and beyond.

 IsraelNow trips are packed with opportunities to dive deeper into Jewish culture and history. Participants will form a special bond with Israel, making new friends along the way.

Explore modern and ancient Israel, engage in social justice projects, and discover Israeli culture!

2026 applications are now closed. The 2026 trip will run from April 27 to May 5.
