About
Israel Experience

Travel with purpose. Return with connection.

Our Mission

To foster a deep and enduring connection to Israel, the Jewish people, and its heritage, through meaningful encounters and experiences that cultivate identity and a sense of belonging.

Our Background

Each year, Israel Experience brings more than 30,000 people from around the world to Israel and global Jewish heritage sites through immersive educational travel programs. 

Established as a subsidiary of the Jewish Agency for Israel in 1958, we’ve spent decades helping teens, university students, and adults connect more deeply to Israel, Jewish identity, and the global Jewish community.

We proudly partner with schools, communities, and organizations from across the Jewish world to make every Israel Experience personal, inspiring, and unforgettable.
