    Overview

    Discover the rich tapestry of Spain, Portugal, and Israel on a journey that blends culture, history, and Jewish heritage. This trip connects our Spain & Portgual Discovery and Israel Journey programs. Your adventure begins in Lisbon with panoramic city views, a scenic boat tour, and visits to landmarks like the Sintra Natural Park and Belém Tower. Continue to Spain, where you’ll experience the historic charm of Seville, the coastal beauty of Marbella, and the stunning architecture of Granada's Royal Chapel and Córdoba’s Judería. In Madrid, explore iconic sites like the Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, and the historic Alcázar Fortress in Toledo, while connecting with local Jewish communities during meaningful Shabbat experiences.

    Your journey then leads to Israel, where the cultural and historical immersion continues. Begin in Jerusalem with panoramic views, exploring the Old City’s ancient squares, and reflecting at the Western Wall. In Northern Israel, enjoy the thrill of water sports on the Sea of Galilee, meet teens from BBYO’s sister movement, and participate in unique volunteer projects. Discover Tel Aviv’s dynamic art scene, visit the ANU Museum, and engage with the city’s vibrant communities. As you journey through the Judean Desert, float in the Dead Sea, trek to the summit of Masada, and connect deeply with Israel’s past and present. Throughout the trip, you’ll forge new friendships, deepen your connection to Jewish heritage, and create lasting memories that will stay with you long after the journey ends.
