Kehillah High Israel Trip
It has always been our goal to develop and execute a biennial Israel trip for current 10th & 11th graders to deepen your understanding of the State of Israel and its connection to your Jewish identity. We already offer a comprehensive Israel education curriculum, but the best way to develop a relationship with Israel is to go there and experience it yourself. Our inaugural trip occurred June 13 - July 1, 2021 and was a transformative experience for the 32 participants.
This trip was made possible by generous donors, participating congregations, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston. The Kehillah High Israel Trip was also the recipient of a new grant from RootOne, an initiative seeded through a generous grant by The Marcus Foundation and powered by The Jewish Education Project that helps tens of thousands of teens travel to Israel each summer with major subsidies for trip participants. Beyond increasing the number of teens and affordability of these trips, RootOne is an investment in the unique, immersive learning these trips provide. The initiative will support new trip curricula and offer deeper pre and post-trip engagement to strengthen participants’ Jewish identities and connections to community and Israel.
