The Places We Come From
Communities and Families Exploring Jewish Identity
For families, synagogues, youth groups, and communities, travel is an opportunity to learn about a shared past and strengthen your Jewish future. It is a way to share and process the personal stories and experiences that got you where you are. Har-El Travels customizes your itinerary and arranges every detail, so you can focus on reconnecting with your Jewish identity, Jewish family, Jewish community, and your place in the Jewish world.
The Landscapes of Jewish Heritage
From the alleyways of Jerusalem and the medieval synagogues of Spain, from the forests of Poland and the beaches of Tel Aviv, geography shapes every chapter of the Jewish story. Begin your trip by commemorating lost communities in Europe or go straight to Israel to relive the heroism of the Maccabees, the innovation of the Startup Nation, and the rebirth of the modern state. Har-El Travels will take you on a journey of spiritual identity and renewal in the places where Jews have worked, prayed, and rejoiced for thousands of years.
