Better Travel to Israel is Here
Israel Like You've Never Seen it
Go behind the scenes to the magic of Israel with Jewish National Fund-USA
Travel
With Jewish National Fund-USA’s Travel & Tours, Israel’s most iconic sites are just the beginning of your adventure. On your trip, you’ll soak up the sun on the beaches of Tel Aviv, place your most precious wishes in a rolled-up note in the Western Wall, and swipe fresh warm pita through the most delectable hummus you’ve ever tasted. That’s the Israel you’ve seen in your friend’s photos and in your family albums. Then, we’ll whisk you off backstage for the Israel nobody else can show you.
A Trail Through Time
Israel is a land where modern and ancient meet. Together, we’ll meander between natural pillars of red rock where King Solomon held court long ago. From there, we zip forward thousands of years and explore the secret underground munitions workshop that tipped the fledgling Jewish state to victory in the War of Independence. Then, immerse yourself in the early days of Israel’s kibbutz culture - meet a cobbler from 1943 and learn how resources were shared once upon a time. Dress like a kibbutznik, join in traditional folk dance, and clasp hands with Israel’s earliest pioneers.
An Innovative Nation
You’ve never seen a desert this green. Deep in the Arava desert, some of the most arid land on planet Earth, stroll through towering bushes that are blooming with tiny watermelons that taste like heaven. Pluck some strawberries growing from the sand as you enter a lab that is discovering new ways to create food and energy security for the world’s most remote communities from Asia to South America. Put on your goggles and discover the shocking life-saving possibilities of tobacco leaves and how they are contributing to research on organ regeneration.
People to People
Human capital is Israel’s greatest resource, and with us, you’ll leave with new friends and feel like Israel is your family. Get to know the women in the multicultural northern region who are creating tech opportunities for their peers of all backgrounds. Dive into an Olympic-sized swimming pool in the middle of the desert and meet the kids who are achieving their aquatic dreams. Chat with an Etrog farmer in his fields, whose produce you’ve probably sniffed each Sukkot without even knowing it. Get personal wine pairing recommendations from the founders of Israel’s top vineyards.
