Embark on a journey with fellow families from the Temple Micah community, as we set out on an adventure to Israel. Together we will traverse the country’s diverse landscapes – from the streets of Jerusalem, resonating with echoes of ancient history, to the vibrant and contemporary ambiance of Tel-Aviv.
Prepare to be captivated by the living language of Hebrew, which will surround us like a symphony of words. As we embrace the rich tapestry of Israeli culture, we shall tantalize our taste buds with the flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine, tasting culinary artistry that has flourished in this region for millennia.
Our voyage will take us through contrasting realms, unveiling the striking allure of Israel’s natural wonders. We’ll be spellbound by the blooming splendor of the northern regions, where vibrant flowers paint the landscape. And in stark contrast, we’ll venture into the arid yet captivating desert of the south.
As we delve deeper into our journey, we shall explore the biblical roots that have shaped the Jewish people throughout history. From ancient biblical sites to sacred landmarks, we shall tread the same paths as our ancestors, connecting with the essence of our faith and heritage.
While tailored to accommodate first-time visitors, this itinerary holds countless surprises even for those who have previously explored Israel. Our schedule includes opportunities for families to bond together as well as ample time for adults and children to venture out independently.
Our trip promises to be an odyssey of discovery, fostering lifelong memories and forging lasting connections with our fellow travelers and the remarkable land that is Israel.

Rabbi Josh Beraha
Temple Micah
Rabbi Josh Beraha, the associate rabbi at Temple Micah in Washington, D.C., has a deep connection with Israel. His journey began with a transformative summer teen tour organized by his Reform Jewish summer camp. During his junior year of high school, he further immersed himself in Israeli culture by living with a host family in the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem. This experience fueled his passion, leading him to major in Modern Hebrew Literature in college and to spend a semester abroad studying at Hebrew University.
Rabbi Beraha returned to Israel during his first year of rabbinical training when he and his wife, Nani, resided in Jerusalem. As a dedicated Zionist, Rabbi Beraha embraces Israel’s rich and complex history, its language, and culture. He looks forward to sharing his love and knowledge of the State of Israel with the Micah community.
