How can I - or my children - travel to Israel?

Any 18 - 26 year-old who has not already gone on a peer trip - that is, one with a group of other travelers in their age group - must look at http://www.birthrightisrael.com/.

This fabulous opportunity offers a 10 day all expenses paid trip. These trips are either in the summer or during winter break. Many of our own CJCN young people have taken advantage of this fantastic offer. Look at the website and encourage your young person to travel to Israel.

For the rest of us, there is always calling up the travel agent. However, the Houston Jewish Federation offers a wonderfully affordable trip usually offered in February. Just ask Shelly Zacharias who went on the latest trip and was even featured in the Jewish Herald Voice as they reported on the trip.

Look into these trips. I hope to travel to Israel some day, too!
