Kehillah High Israel Trip 2023
We are excited to share the dates for the 2nd biennial Kehillah High Israel trip! Current Kehillah High 10th and 11th graders are invited to join us for an incredible trip to Israel from June 14th - July 4th, 2023.
During the three weeks in Israel, the participants will have the opportunity to build personal connections to Israel and fully develop a relationship with the country by interacting with the people, tasting the food, and taking in the rich history, culture, and natural beauty.
This highly subsidized Kehillah High Israel Trip is $1000 for Kehillah High students and $2000 for non-Kehillah High students (actual cost: $6,000). The trip is made possible to you at this price thanks to RootOne, generous donors, participating congregations, and the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.
Kehillah High Houston is partnering with RootOne LLC., an organization aimed at helping teens travel to and experience Israel. RootOne may help offset costs for eligible trip participants only. Learn more at RootOne.org and be in touch with us directly with any questions. (Note, vouchers are subject to participant eligibility and are not guaranteed. RootOne vouchers may be redeemed only once per lifetime and are limited to one voucher per eligible participant.)
As a reminder, in addition to the non-refundable fee, in order to be eligible to go on the trip, you must be enrolled in Kehillah High or another substantive, content-rich supplemental Jewish education program. Participants must regularly attend through their senior year of high school. If you have questions about your eligibility, contact Danielle Alexander.
All Israel Trip participants are required to attend four pre-Israel trip meetings:
Sunday, March 5
Sunday, March 26
Sunday, April 23 (Israel Fest Celebrating Israel @ 75)
Meetings will be from 1:30-3:30 pm. Parents must come to the first meeting on Sunday, March 5 from 3:30-4:30 pm.
Based on the success of our trip in 2021, we will only be taking one bus on this trip; 40 participants. Registration will be first come first served, so please do not wait to register your teen for this life-changing trip. Priority will be given to those teens who have not received a RootOne grant before.
Registration will open in stages until the maximum number of 40 participants is reached. After 40 participants are confirmed we will open a waitlist.
October 19-December 30: All Kehillah High 10th & 11th graders
January 1 - March 1: If there is still space available, the trip will open up to Houston area teens in 10th-11th grade who fulfill the eligibility requirements (see above)
Registration is considered complete upon receipt of the application and complete payment. Payments can be mailed to Congregation Beth Israel c/o Kehillah High, 5600 N. Braeswood Houston, TX 77096. Please make checks payable to Congregation Beth Israel and write "Israel Trip" in the memo line. The total payment of $1000 is non-refundable and required to reserve your spot.
