For more than twenty-five years,
Ramah Programs in Israel
has been running top-rate educational tours in Israel for families and adults through the Ramah Israel Institute

If you have not yet had the privilege of bringing your congregants on one of our life-changing Israel experiences, we would like to give you a glimpse -- me'ahorei haPargod -- of what makes these trips so special. We are delighted to be co-sponsoring the
 
Ramah Israel
VIP Familiarization Tour
March 7 - 14, 2010
 The trip is designed for congregational leaders -- rabbis, cantors, and Jewish educators (and their spouses) -- who are interested in experiencing the special programs that Ramah designs and runs for Conservative congregational groups.
 Price: $1,795 ($1,895 for spouse), which includes land package, round trip El-Al air, tax and fuel surcharge (currently $410 but subject to change). See the complete itinerary and details here   (ITC Tours), the co-sponsor of this exciting Familiarization Tour, is Ramah's partner in designing, promoting, and implementing unique educational Israel experiences for adult and family groups, bar/bat mitzvah families, and Jewish school family groups.  

* Come see how Ramah and ITC work together to run trips that are educationally stimulating, safe, secure, and logistically seamless. In addition to designing the tour to be a dugma of our work, we have included a number of sights and activities that may be new to you personally.
 
* Dream with us to create innovative and exciting experiences that go beyond the usual Israel tour. How about exploring Israel through song-and-dance? Or a trip to Andalusia-Spain that continues in Israel, concentrating on Zfat and meeting with Bnai Anusim?
 
* Brainstorm with us about target populations for your trips that you may have not thought of before (e.g., those studying to be Jews by Choice, adult education classes, religious school faculty, or grandparents and grandchildren, etc.). One of your colleagues brought her adult Mishna class to explore sites from the period of Hazal. In short, you would benefit from the trip on two levels-both as participants in a unique Israel experience and as Jewish educators.

  So -- please mark your calendar, and download an itinerary and an application form now!

 Space is limited to qualified candidates.
