Modern day Israel with its innovation and dynamic lifestyle will also be inspirational for your child – an entire country where Jews are free and proud to practice their religion and be a light unto the nations.
As a tour coordinator, I know how difficult it can be to find activities suitable for different ages. It is therefore imperative that an Israel itinerary is coordinated in a way that fits the needs of all but with an emphasis on the bar/bat mitzvah.
Some added elements to make your Israel trip unforgettable could be:
*Participating in a volunteer project ( making dinner for lone soldiers, packing food for the needy..)
*Meeting IDF soldiers or learning about army life by doing an IDF-style survival workshop
*Having the bar\bat mitzvah guide at a particular site... researching an historical subject before the trip and actually taking responsibility for a small segment of the program.
*Meeting an Israeli family at their homes and hear incredible and inspiring aliyah stories.
*Learning about Israeli technology and innovation
There are so many amazing experiences for your whole family in Israel: walking over the ruins of King David’s palace, climbing Masada, riding on camels, ATVing through the desert, tasting colorful and exotic foods in the Mahane Yehuda shuk, seeing the Temple through virtual reality glasses, climbing through ancient water tunnels…. this will be an unforgettable adventure for all!
Not only will your child learn and connect with his/her Jewish heritage but you will also be planting seeds for an ongoing relationship with Israel .
What better gift is there to give to your child than the exhilarating gift of belonging to something bigger than ourselves – a sense of belonging to a people and a land, both of which are just a plane ride away and waiting to be discovered.
