Our thoughts were with our P2G family in Hadera during the recent violence in Israel. To show solidarity with our Israeli counterparts, each city in our consortium sent in a special message of support.
We send teachers to Israel to learn about the Israeli school system . During their visit, educators tour in the region and learn about the history and culture of the Israeli people. "Twinning" programs, where classrooms can become pen pals, are also available to any teacher in the Charleston area.
Our Leadership 2Gether program for young professionals lets you study Jewish leadership with an Israeli friend, followed by both a retreat in the Southeast and in Israel.
Each summer we send American teens to travel through Israel with their Israeli peers. Along with touring the country, the Americans are housed with families and instantly feel the unique experience of not being a tourist but instead being an Israeli. Later, the American teens reciprocate a similar experience here in Charleston with Israeli teens.
We encourage anyone from Charleston who has plans to be in Israel to consider a visit to the region where you will be greeted by our friends, offered home hospitality, and provided with a customized behind-the-scenes and off-the-beaten-path tourism experience based on your interests. To start planning your visit, please contact Erin Boynton.
