Keshet - The Center for Educational Tourism in Israel

 

For the last 4 years Keshet has operated an annual seminar for Israel activists that open the world of internal Israeli discourse on the core issues of security policy and contemporary Zionist ideology. In the course of one week, participants conducted field trips all over Israel and met and interacted freely with many of Israel's most important thinkers and strategists, as well as a cross-section of the social and political activists who are shaping Israeli society in the 21st century. Each seminar was limited to 15 participants in order to encourage free flowing discussions with our speakers. The core group of the past four seminars has come from Westchester NY and were organized by AIPAC activist Dr. Eric Mandel in cooperation with the Temple Israel Center of White Plains.

Some trips that we have created in the past include:

  • Temple Israel Center White Plains Zionism Seminar
  • Michigan Community Interfaith Seminar
  • Ahavat Achim Women's Study Tour
  • Early Childhood Education Teacher Seminar

Keshet will work with you and your group's interest to create an educationally stimulating and challenging trip for all who come. These trips are often geared towards the traveler who has been to Israel before and is looking for a more in-depth look at an aspect of Israeli society. Along with our excellent guiding services, our seminars will include:

  • Discussions with Israeli political figures, cultural leaders and artists
  • Face to face visits with Israelis
  • Exploring areas of the country that may not be "tourist sites" but are the places where today's Israelis are changing the Israel of tomorrow

Professional Seminars are ideal for groups such as:

  • Israel Action Committees
  • Professional groups such as attorneys, doctors, educators and politicians
  • College professors
  • Any affiliate group that has a specialty (ie women's group, environmentalists, etc)

"The tour plan with Keshet is not an itinerary - it's a curriculum. No stop is a "site." Rather, every destination is seen as an opportunity to understand the unfolding story of the Jewish people. Yitzhak and his staff turn tourists into pilgrims. They treat us not as clients but as chevre . They involve themselves with us as Jews on a search for the lessons Israel has to teach us. After such a personal, caring, engaging experience for myself, my family, and my congregation, I cannot imagine traveling in Israel with any group but Keshet." Rabbi Lester Bronstein, Bet Am Shalom Synagogue, White Plains New York
