Rabbi Howard S. Herman DD and Farmington Valley Jewish Congregation-Emek Shalom invite you to join them in the trip of a lifetime to Israel. This trip, spanning 15 exciting days and 14 starlit nights will take you through the entire history-packed country. We will travel from the very tip of Israel, the Golan Heights in the north, to the beautiful white sand beaches of Eilat in the south. We will visit Kibbutzim, archeological excavations, Masada, the Dead Sea, one of Israel's world renowned spas, sunrise over the Judean hills, and spend five days including a Shabbat in the Holy City of Jerusalem. Enjoy a dinner cruise on the Red Sea, go horseback riding on a ranch overlooking the Kinneret, enjoy Kabbalat Shabbat at the Western Wall, and be part of a privately guided visit through the newly renovated Yad Vashem, memorial to the "six million who perished in the Holocaust.
Have your child become a Bar or Bat Mitzvah on top of Masada. Renew your wedding vows in the holy city of Jerusalem. Enjoy falafel from street vendors, purchase a tallit in the Cardo of the Old City, buy a challah cover or Shabbat candlesticks from a shop on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem, or an original piece of beautiful Jewish art from one of the many special galleries in the ancient mystical city of Safed. Visit the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the seven gates of the Old City of Jerusalem and Yemin Moshe, the site of the only windmill in the Middle East. All this and so much more awaits you during our amazing 15-day trip.
This trip will personally be escorted and guided by Rabbi Howard S. Herman and a wonderful Israeli guide, someone who has devoted his life to introducing tourists to the very best that Israel has to offer. There are many trips to Israel that one can take, but none that offer the full expanse of the country as well as the wide range of touring opportunities, activities and choices that our trip offers.
So, join us! It will be a trip you will never forget, a trip that will both educate and relax you, a trip where you will make lifelong friends.
