Keshet has created a Bar/Bat Mitzvah Journey that is unlike any other tour you will find in Israel. Break of dawn hikes up to Masada and sundown barbecues a few feet from the ocean—every day a chavaya (an experience which gives life).

Here is a glimpse of our journey :

• Day 1 – Climb on tanks and fighter jets – ride camels in the desert
• Day 5 – Home Hospitality
• Day 9 – Meet IDF Soldiers – Visit Druze Village
• Day 4 – Explore the City of David – Walk through King
  Hezekiah's water tunnel
• Day 10 – Better Place, one of Israel's miracle start-up companies,
  building the car of the future
• Day 2 – Morning hike up Camel Hill – Jeep Tour of the Maktesh Ramon Crater
• Day 6 – Family Mitzvah Project – Yad Vashem – Western Wall Tunnel Tour
• Day 8 – Jeep Tour in the Golan – Hike at Tel Dan
• Day 2 – Sleep in a Bedouin tent
• Day 3 – Climb up Masada – Hike Ein Gedi – Float in the Dead Sea
• Day 5 – Shabbat in Jerusalem!
• Every day – Get to know families from across North America as you crisscross the length and breadth of Israel

Most tours give you a hat and a map. Come with Keshet and you get a source book full of texts which deepen the experience and challenge your intellect. Most tours try to involve the kids. Come with Keshet and you get an Israeli kid educator/counselor/tour guide to ride the bus and get to know the young people on the bus and choreograph special experiences for them all along the way. Most tours try to entertain you. Come with Keshet and you're asked to make a difference in the country—not as tourist, but as partner. We work with every family to create a meaningful Mitzvah Project to assist people in Israel.

Our itinerary is driven by two desires:
1. We want to see and experience as much as possible in the short time we have together in Israel, while still leaving time to enjoy our families and make new friends.
2. We want to choreograph a meaningful experience for young people who are becoming sons and daughters of mitzvah. This B'nai Mitzvah tour will take you to places that tourists never see along with each family going on a special adventure of their own tailor made mitzvah project. Get ready for the ride of a lifetime.
