Testimonials
26 Spectacular Young Professionals from all across America join to journey in Israel and connect with the amazing land and amazing people. One component of the trip is to visit where all the matriarchs and patriarchs are buried in Hebron. In this world today when we feel so distant from being Jewish there are so many poles on our attention. Who should we be? What are our values? How should we use our time? These Patriarchs and Matriarchs have been waiting us for 3800 years and they are so happy to have us back. the question remains for all of us where are you in that chain, you are that next link. We want to share the inspiration that can be had on this incredible 10 day journey and ask you to think; Where are you?,Whats going on?, and How can we all continue that chain?
–Rabbi Shalom Garfinkel (Director Project 613)
Participant Testimonials
The most uplifting, meaningful experience I’ve had! To connect with other young professionals in such historical and spiritually significant locations made this Israel trip that much more impact than any other. – Dan Karesh
Birthright is to seeing as the YP Israel Trip is to doing. Too often, we think about Israel and Judaism as a theoretical, distant thing; this trip showed that Israel and Judaism are real, tangible, and important. – Jon Danzig
I got to experience many aspects of Israel that were completely new to me and also experience things for the second time but in a completely new way. I was initially a bit skeptical of the classes but those proved to be a highlight. Additionally, all of the Rabbis on the trip were very approachable and seemed invested in the participants.- Samual Prywes
I was inspired from this trip because no matter where one is in their life, no matter how observant (or not), it was easy to connect spirituality with the other participants and the rabbis through discussions (among the group or one on one), in our classes, during prayer, and last but not least, during Shabbat. This trip embraced and welcomed all level of observances and motivated me to take on more without inflicting any type of standard on me. – Tara
Next trip is: June 23-July 3, 2019
