The JCC Maccabi Experience® for Teens

JCC Maccabi Israel Experience®: An experience like no other!
Stroll through the Jewish Quarter. Touch and feel the stones of the Western Wall. Float in the Dead Sea and exfoliate with its famous black mud. Climb Masada at dawn to watch the sun rise. Discover why Tel Aviv is called the city that never sleeps. Eat authentic shwarma and falafel. See the borders of Egypt and Jordan, explore the Galilee and the Golan, and visit the mystical city of Tzfat.  Our four-week teen program is pluralistic and non-denominational. During your time in Israel, you’ll make new friends, explore new places, try new foods and learn about your history. Return home with incredible insights, memories, and experiences that will stay with you long after the trip is over. At JCC Maccabi Israel, we have created a trip that is the perfect blend of travel, education, and adventure for Jewish teens. We want to make your Israel encounter an experience that you will never forget.

Trip Dates:  June 23-July 22
