Jewish Federation offers teen travel opportunities to Israel – St. Louis Jewish Light

Posted By on February 11, 2022

Israel Bound

Israel Bound is a life-changing experience for St. Louis teens who want to explore their Jewish identity, strengthen their connection to Israel and have the adventure of a lifetime with their friends. The three-week trip began in 2008 and continues to be one of the most popular trips for St. Louis teens who want to travel to Israel. The itinerary is jam-packed every year with the classic Israel experiences such as visiting the Western Wall, climbing Masada at sunrise, floating in the Dead Sea and riding camels.

However, Jewish Federation of St. Louis also provides some experiences that are quite unique, such as staying two nights with an Israeli host family in our partnership region of Yokneam-Meggido, getting a geo-political briefing/tour at the beginning and end of the trip and sleeping under the stars in the Negev Desert.
