This trip combines our Western Europe Discovery and Israel Journey programs! Start your journey by exploring the iconic landmarks and cultural treasures of Western Europe. From London’s Buckingham Palace and the historic synagogues of the Jewish Quarter in Paris to the cobblestone streets of Brugge and the vibrant canals of Amsterdam, you'll experience the diversity and vibrancy of England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Delve into the rich history of the Jewish communities in these cities, visiting memorials and museums that honor both the triumphs and tragedies of European Jewry. Enjoy immersive experiences like cycling through the Dutch countryside, exploring medieval castles, and soaking in the artistic heritage of museums like the Louvre and the Van Gogh Museum, all while connecting with Jewish culture through authentic Shabbatot and meaningful visits to places like the Anne Frank House and the Shoah Memorial.

Continue your adventure in Israel, where you’ll journey from the ancient streets of Jerusalem to the modern cityscape of Tel Aviv, the lush Galilee to the vast Negev Desert.
