Hello! 

WOW!! I have just heard about an incredible opportunity for those aged 26-50* to visit Israel. This incredible program is being created by the Reform Movement to help people to better understand Israel and to have an incredible Israel experience. The cost of the program is ONLY $600 and that includes your flight (from Toronto, NY or 6 other major cities), accommodations, tours/experiences and many of your meals.

Note – any non-Jewish spouses are also welcome to participate in the program!

In addition to the 8 day trip, you can extend your stay (based on flight availability) and spend more time in Israel.

If you have any questions, I would be happy to speak with you, please be in touch!

Shalom,

Rabbi Morais

*If you fall outside this age range but are interested in participating, please contact Rabbi Morais.
