My strong connection to Judaism that I have felt since the trip started when I saw the Kotel. I was nervous as I extended my arm out to touch the wall for the first time. I didn't know how I was supposed to feel or what thoughts should be going through my head.
I was surprised to feel such a strong connection to all the other people around me who were experiencing what I was. The people that were there came from all over the world and yet we are all connected through our religion. I really felt a connection to all Jews while I was at the Kotel.

"Israel is an outstanding place rich in history and tradition. I am so lucky I had the oppurtunity to go. I have so many great memories from my trip but my favorite was our late night hike through the desert. My group hiked about a mile away from camp and laid out under the stars listening to the sounds of the desert and watching out for shooting stars."

I had an absolutely incredible experience this summer in Israel. I have spent a lot of time there in my life, but there was something very different and exciting about bringing people to Israel for the first time. I believe that my participants had some incredible experiences, and few things in my life have been as rewarding as facilitating those experiences. Now, in addition to constantly missing Israel, I have 38 great people to miss as well.

"I had such an amazing time in Israel. It was truly a once in a life time experience. I want to thank you and your organization for doing such great work and allowing people like me to see and experience such a beautiful land. The trip is something I will always hold closely to my heart. I have been telling everyone at home that it is a necessity for them to visit there at least once during their lives. It is truly a magnificent land with amazing people, amazing history, and amazing culture. Thank you again for allowing me to experience that for myself."
