Our journeys
Family Groups
A trip to Israel as a family can be one of the most meaningful adventures a family ever undertakes. Be it just parents and children or multi-generational, a family trip allows for both personal and family enrichment while exploring some of the most exciting places in the world. Family vacations, life cycle events, connecting to roots or a combination of all three, Makor designs programs to address specific needs and interests of everyone involved – from in-depth exploration to rock climbing and rafting and everything in between.
Student Study Trips
Makor student study trips enable students to experience an in-depth exploration of Israeli society and the geopolitical reality of the region. A synthesis of engaging meetings with personalities from numerous political perspectives and national backgrounds, hard-hitting dialogues with student peers, journalists and academics and of course general sightseeing is facilitated by talented tour educators who understand nuance and complexity.
Federations
Our understanding of Global Jewry, in general, and the North American Jewish community, in particular, places us in an optimal position to help navigate the delicate and changing relationship between Israel and Jews around the world. Combining our infrastructure and resources in Israel and Jewish communities worldwide, with our creative thinking and high level of service, Makor is able to address the needs of any Federation demographic and literally any size group, from small VIP Missions to Multi-Track Mega Missions.
Congregational Trips
Congregational travel is one of the best ways to strengthen community and build long-lasting relationships – Family and Bnai Mitzvah Trips, Study Trips, Empty Nesters and every other group in congregational life can benefit from traveling with their Spiritual Leader. Makor is here to facilitate the most creative, innovative, spiritually-charged and fun congregational trips possible.
Study Trips
With some of the best thematic issues at our fingertips, we specialize in preparing cutting edge, nuanced and challenging trips, which encourage participants to engage, question, broaden their horizons and deepen their understanding--all while heightening their confusion. Challenge us and them.
