I commend Oranim for a job well done in planning and

executing our trip. The best result was to listen to the

graduates’ speeches praising the Jewish education our school

provides and highlighting the trip to Israel with Oranim as

the most effecting Jewish experience in the last eight years.

PARTNERSSPEAK FOR US

The students were so positively overwhelmed with their trip to Israel that they were on a cloud for weeks after

they returned.

From our first meeting with Momo Lifshitz, he conveyed all that would take place on the trip. Many

concerns were those of safety and security and he assured us that all steps are taken to ensure the safety of

our students and chaperones. He also assured us that the students would be treated as if they were his own

children…

Y. Yarhi , Solomon Schechter Day School of Greater Monmouth County, NJ

The entire process of planning and designing the land experience the land experience in Israel was done

very professionally with careful and thoughtful consideration of the students’ young age and physical

ability, and were easily adjusted to meet our school’s needs. Your staff was very efficient and always gracious

and helpful when approached. They complied with our requests to the best of their abilities. We were provided with al the equipment and

ritual items we requested to enable us to fulfill our Jewish practices Such as a Torah Scroll, Havdallah set etc.

When we returned from our trip, the bu� in our school and temple community about the Israel trip was

incredible thanks to the wonderful experiences you were able to create for us I . El iyahu, Sinai Akiba Academy, Los Angeles

I think the trip had a strong effect on all the participants [American and Israeli] The Americans understood

the meaning of being Jewish, learned about our heritage and some, who felt ashamed of their religion

became proud Jews.

I have to say that I was touched to hear them call Israel their “homeland”…. I, as an Israeli, leaned a lot from

my American friends…. The trip was amazing. I wish all the Jews in the US can come to Israel and

experience what we went through.A. Zelnik , Israel i Mifgash Part ic ipant

He did not stop talking all afternoon. He smiled all day. He

proudly showed off his Israeli soccer shirt and other tee's. He

feels like he had the best host family and the coolest kid. I

have never seen him so confident and happy- ever. I do not think any words can express how full my heart was

and is. Ben is connected to Israel and being Jewish and his

life has changed for the be�er-forever. G. Tzizik , Parent

I want to thank Oranim and the Jewish Fed of Collier County with total sincerity for my trip to

Israel. It has been the most amazing experience of my life so far. I write “it has been” and not “it

was” because I feel like my trip isn’t over. There’s a part of me that is still in Israel…and there is a

part of Israel that planted itself like a seed within me some time during the trip. I can feel Israel

growing inside of me… I have been touched and there is something living in my heart that wasn’t

there before…

J. Fisher, Participant

Jackelyn most definitely had the time of her life! She loved Israel, loved the Israeli teens she met, and the family who she shared dinner with. She came back with a true appreciation for Israel and the people of Israel. She "got” it! As an educator, I feel that you need to know this, as this is what it 's all about. J. Kallelis, Parent

Among the highlights were the many opportunities the kids had to meet Israeli kids their age. Many are still in contact with their new friends via emails, facebook , etc. I believe we have planted a lifetime of engage-ment for these students with Israel

Dr. Z. Schoenburg, Gesher Jewish Day School , Fairfax, VA

The most telling factors of the trip’s success are the reactions from the kids once the trips are over. I have never

heard more people talk about one experience being the best experience of their lives. Students talk about the

Israel trip for years after they leave The Davis Academy. For our students, the Israel trip solidifies friendships

and establishes new relationships. It builds an unbreakable bond to the Israeli land and people. And

ultimately reinforces their identity as Jews and responsible young adults.

J. Kudlats , the Davis Academy, Atlanta, GA

Your Tour Guides have been exceptional not only in imparting their tremendous knowledge about the land and culture of Israel, but also at communicating their passion for our homeland… Their passion is contagious and their dynamic personalities make Israel come alive for our students. Our students leave Israel inspired, touched and excited to come back .

I . Cappel l , El Paso Jewish Academy, TX

From the moment we arrived in Israel everything went smoothly. Our guide was outstanding, the medic delightful, the hotels comfortable and the whole trip flowed beautifully.

B. James, Tehiya Day School , El Cerrito, CA

Oranim is not only careful about building an itinerary that

applies to each mission; they are open to suggestions and

changes that come along the way. In addition, the selection of

guides, drivers and guards is outstanding. Oranim staff is

extremely professional, knowledgeable, resourceful and when

it comes to teaching about Israel, they share remarkable

passion, respect, commitment and pride for the country.

G. Pintchuck, Sarasota-Manatee Jewish Federation, FL

In this day and age of mediocre customer service, it is refreshing to work with Oranim and your talented

staff, both here and in Israel. All of our concerns were addressed, our questions answered, and our needs met.

The magnificent itinerary reflected our wishes to balance education with fun. Teens not only learned a great

deal about Israel and about our Jewish Family, they had a blast exploring Israel.

D. Colt in, the Robert I Lappin Charitable Foundation, MA

I must emphasize my gratitude for the calm, patient, professional friends, even family like approach which

you express in all your contact with us, You have a style of operations that is truly welcoming the midst of

planning a trip such as this…thank you for your organization, keeping on the ball and communication…

thank you for timely liaisons with the Israeli staff and insuring the transitions and integration between both

staffs are smooth.

A. Ben Ami, Solomon Schechter School of Queens, NY

I want to thank you so much for an amazing experience for the teachers. The itinerary, the hotels, the guide, the program, the whole land operation….every detail was very well thought of and wonderful. You are an excellent professional team, really cared about the group, and I really enjoyed working with all of you.
