Upcoming JCC Association trip:

 

EXPLORE ISRAEL: FOR ADVENTUROUS TRAVELERS
October 30 - November 7, 2017

 

Join the JCC family on a journey of a lifetime to Israel. The trip will include many of the popular sites such as the Western Wall and Masada but will give you a chance to enjoy your passion for the outdoors—walking off the beaten track, cycling, running and hiking while enjoying some of Israel’s best food and wine, and celebrating Israel’s cultural scene.
 

Participants should be able to walk 15,000 steps/5 miles per day. Alternative arrangements will be available for travelers wanting to avoid certain sport activities.
