Thanks to generous support from the Jewish Community Foundation of Central New York and other community donors, Epstein 9th and 10th grade students spend 10 days exploring Israel: visiting sites of biblical, medieval, and modern history. Students learn about absorption and immigration, and technological and agricultural innovation; are exposed to a new language and culture; meet with Israeli peers, who share first hand details about what life is like for teens growing up in a democracy in the Middle East. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our students!
