Third Annual Aspergers Syndrome Trip

Posted Wed, 09/08/2010 - 11:00 by Sharna Marcus

Shorashim will once again be partnering with KOACH to offer a Taglit-Birthright Israel trip for Jewish 18 to 26 year olds with Aspergers Syndrome winter 2010/11.

This ten-day Israel adventure features a smaller group of participants and a high staff to participant ratio. Our specialized itinerary is created in partnership with experienced, specially trained staff and is carefully structured to be enjoyable and informative for this population. The program includes a multi-day mifgash (encounter) with Israeli peers, a less intense rhythm of the day than most other Taglit-Birthright Israel trips, visits to ancient and modern sites of interest and an incomparable Shabbat.
