My Trip to Israel

In March of 2006, I had a very powerful and life affirming experience in Israel. This experience helped me to define my life goals and to come to where I am today.

Now, I have an opportunity to return to Israel for a longer period of time to delve into both my personal cultural history, and my studies of community living and sustainability. Using a Masa Israel grant, I will be able to fund the majority of the trip itself, however I am looking for help with funding the other expenses of the trip.


Just about two months ago, I looked up airfare to Israel on a whim. Seeing the (amazingly) inexpensive rates, I chose to look up ways for adults (past Birthright age) to visit Jerusalem. I quickly found a grant called Masa Israel which funds a variety of programs across the Holy Land.
