Experience Poland with Israel Experienceopen group for English speakers

03 – 09.08.201503 – 09.08.2015

For the past 15 years, Israel Experience has guided hundreds of delegations to Poland from all over the world. This summer, we would like to offer you this once in a lifetime opportunity to learn about your Jewish roots in a new way. During the month of August we are organizing an English speaking group for a week long program in Poland. It is being organized as an open group, geared towards English speakers from around the world and it accommodates all levels of 'Shmirat Shabbat' and 'Kashrut‘.

This 'second chance' trip is an opportunity for those that never had the chance, to experience a meaningful and thought provoking journey through Jewish life in Poland before during and after World War II. If you feel that this is something that you just never got around to doing – this trip is for you.

Israel Experience® is the leading company for educational group travel to Israel, now bringing over 30,000 people from around the world to Israel per year. As a subsidiary of the Jewish Agency for Israel, Israel Experience provides teens, university students and adults from all over the globe with tailor-made and packaged programs, offering the highest standards of service, safety and security.

Striving to be active participants in the process of shaping both collective and individual Jewish identities, we offer our clients and partners a variety of programs and tours in Jewish Europe. These programs focus on examination and reflection of Jewish values, past, present and future. An educational, content-based visit to the historical landmarks of Jewish Europe makes for a transformative and inspiring experience for any Jewish traveler of any age.
