Israel The spring trip to Israel for our 8th grade students is the culmination of their learning experience here at Solomon Schechter – they will have the first hand opportunity to practice conversational Hebrew, to visit historic sites, and to embrace Israeli culture.
This two week trip is exceptionally rewarding, and is an investment in our students’ Jewish education. Some highlights will include:
Visit to a Kibbutz
Camel Trek in the Judean Desert
Masada
Ein Gedi
Floating in the Dead Sea
Jerusalem—Mount Scopus, Yad Vashem, Mount Herzl , City of David, Tour of the Western
Wall Tunnel, Mount Zion, the Jewish Quarter, Machane Yehuda, the Western Wall,
Our mission is to educate Jewish youth to become knowledgeable, responsible citizens and committed Jews, and inspire them to a lifelong love of learning.
