Thanks to generous support from the UJA-Federation of New York, which is encouraging volunteer service, we hope land costs for this trip will be reasonable for many community members. Land costs for the week-long trip, including hotels in the North and Jerusalem, group transportation in Israel, Shabbat, and most meals, the price will be $2,590, per person for double occupancy. A single-room supplement will be an additional $1,080. (For comparison purposes, that figure is lower than for last year’s 4-day trip, which did not include Shabbat.) Those prices are calculated based on us having a minimum of 24 participants. Participants can choose to work with our travel provider to arrange their own flights and can come earlier and stay later, as they like.
If you would like to learn more about the trip, please join us on Zoom on Wednesday, June 25 at 7:30pm.
To indicate that you would like to join us, please submit this form.
In mid-June, you will receive a link to our “official” registration website where you can reserve hotel accommodations, make payments, and provide additional information.
In these profoundly complicated times, we value our community’s political diversity. We may have differing views about Israel, but we hope every Jew feels they have a stake in Israel and its Jewish – and non-Jewish -- communities. Ruach Nediva will help us make that commitment real.
Suleiman Masswada, an Arab citizen of Israel and a prominent journalist, recently said (in a Passover message, of all things): “We live in a complex country, quite difficult, but a country that is worth fighting for. Alongside all the challenges … the sane majority need to take the reins, recognize reality, and make real corrections - on both sides. Only in this way can we change it and make our country better.”
Amen to that. Please bring your Ruach Nediva and join us for a week of meaningful volunteering, thoughtful engagement, and community building.
Warmest Wishes,
Carolyn Greene
