More about Leadership Israel

"Shorashim’s commitment to the participant experience, education and professionalism permeate everything they do. Having worked with them on both Jewish and non-Jewish travel to Israel it is clear they are the experts in the field of immersive experiences. They tailor travel for diverse groups that exposes participants to Israel as a multifaceted nation and leaves them with a deep understanding of the history, culture and politics. The staff and tour educators always have the best interest of the participants at heart and ensure the memories will last a lifetime."
