Chicago Community Trip

On Shorashim's Chicago Community Trip you experience the awesome adventure of Israel from the inside, through the eyes and hearts of Israeli peers. Travel for 10-days with Israeli friends and staff who share the beauty, excitement and complexities of their country with you. Meet with Israeli figures that are shaping Israel today. Hike in spectacular nature areas of Israel. From a meeting with residents of the Golan, to Bedouin hospitality in the desert, from the liveliness of Tel Aviv, to the diversity and spirituality of Jerusalem, experience the history, the vibrancy and the challenges of modern Israel. Engage in a community service project with Kiryat Gat - Chicago's P2K region. Meet new people from the Chicago area or your university. Make lifelong Israeli and American friends.

The gift of a lifetime and the experience of a lifetime!
