Tiyul – Jewish Journeys

Explore. Discover. Learn.

A journey with Tiyul is more than just a vacation. It is the opportunity to visit not only the “traditional” sites and learn about the history, people and culture of a destination, but also to explore each country’s Jewish past and present within that larger context. We meet with members of Jewish communities, hear people’s stories and learn of the challenges they face. We visit synagogues, Jewish schools and institutions in remote corners of the world and we celebrate Shabbat at Friday night dinners. On occasion we enjoy the opportunity to make a positive difference by helping both Jews and non-Jews in need.
