We are excited to share that Midrasha teens will continue the Mifgash adventure this winter! This 10-day trip to Israel during Hanukkah features home hosting by our Israeli friends and high school partners in Israel. Daily bus trips will take us all around Israel, including Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and other destinations.
Cost:
$4,000 includes plane ticket, meals and experiences while in Israel. Please do not let cost be a barrier to your teen participating. Our community offers multiple financial support mechanisms that are both need based and non-need based, including but not limited to:
- The Israel Within Reach grant is a need-blind program (meaning applicants are judged solely on their merits, irrespective of their ability to pay) that covers $500 of the trip cost.
- There are more scholarship opportunities that we will be sharing upon registration.
The cost does not include cell phones, passport expenses, health insurance, spending money, incidentals or the gift for your host family. There is a $500 non-refundable deposit.
