Congregational Trip to Israel — June 12–21, 2012

Webmaster — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:25:06 +0000

Dear Friends,

Every Shabbat we proceed around the sanctuary with the Torah, after reciting the following words: “Torah shall come from Zion (Israel) and the word of Adonai from Jerusalem.”

This June, Michal and I would like to lead a congregational trip to Israel. The trip will be a life-changing experience. The itinerary has much to offer for both those who will be going to Israel for the first time as well as new sights for those who have already been to Israel. The trip is multi-generational and will be appropriate for all ages. I am attaching the trip itinerary in the hope that you will find it inspiring, and register to join us in this fabulous journey to Israel. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch with myself or “Shalom Israel Tours.”

Sincerely,
Rabbi Andrew Bloom
