Adath Israel's Itinerary for 2024 Israel Trip Released with Options for First Timers, Returning Visitors, and Families.
By Mitch Cohen
In July of 2024, the Cincinnati Jewish Community will travel together to Israel. Adath Israel and other synagogues and temples were able to develop their own unique itineraries which were recently released. For some events the whole community will join together and other events Adath will follow its own path. There are different paths offered for families and the general congregation.

From my first look, the family path offers activities such as riding the longest zip line and climbing Masada. The general congregation's itinerary takes the cable car up to Masada or skips Masada and opts for a conversation with the Ambassador of the United States to Israel, Thomas R. Nides. I appreciated that they offered options for both first timers and returning visitors. One example is that while first timers learn about modern Tel Aviv and why Jaffa is so important, return visitors can visit the Peres Peace Center. Everyone begins exploring Tel Aviv and later travels to Jerusalem. A significant amount of time is spent in Jerusalem. One event that caught my eye was spending Shabbat with Rabbi Smolkin at the egalitarian section of the Kotel. On the last leg of the trip there are options to explore the Dead Sea region. The Family track goes on an adventure jeep ride in the Judean Hills. They also meet with members of Krembo Wings, Israel's only youth movement that includes children with disabilities. One of the options for the general congregation track is to travel to Qumran where the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered.
Significant subsidies are available with $4000 per person with a maximum of $12,000 per family. A $150 early bird discount is available until May 31st.
On Thursday evening, May 25th, Jan Evans from the Jewish Federation will hold a Q&A about the trip. Rabbi Smolkin will begin the evening with a brief service at 7 PM followed by a Shavuot teaching about Israel. After his teaching, Jan will be there to answer your questions.
