Rabbi Jackie Brodsky has been leading synagogue tours to Israel since 1990, creating meaningful and enriching experiences for participants of all backgrounds.
Recent tours, in partnership with Temple Emek Shalom in Ashland, took place in 2015 and 2017, and it is our goal to continue offering these journeys every 2–3 years. Each tour typically lasts 11 days and 12 nights and is designed to be both affordable and accessible.
We welcome travelers from all ages and backgrounds, including those of other faiths, who are comfortable with a moderate level of activity. Our tours explore the richness of Israel through history, religion, culture, food, Torah study, and community engagement.
Along the way, participants benefit from the knowledge and passion of experienced Israeli speakers, guides, and drivers, making each journey both educational and inspiring.
Members, friends, and family of SCJC and TES are invited to request an application and join us on a future trip.
