On March 12, 2014 thirty-one participants will be heading to Israel for journey.  We will not only be seeing many important sites but also encountering personalities and other off the beaten path experiences.  We will celebrate Purim with Rabbi Miri Gold at Birkat Shalom on Kibbutz Gezer. We will visit our partnership city, Modi'in, and celebrate Shabbat there at Kehilat YOZMA.  We will hear from Anat Hoffman from the Israel Religious Action Center and Women of the Wall.  We will explore the country and gain some insight into security issues as well as a new spirit of Zionism.  We welcome you to follow our progress.  Shalom!
