About the Jewish Experience

We Create Experiences

Jewish Experience Travel by The Israel Experience creates a contemporary European Jewish experience in Jewish communities across the world. The experiences are unique and personal, tailored for each group according to its needs and wishes, offering a wide range of options for both groups and families. As part of a brand that has been working with Jewish communities across the world for over 15 years, our staff members are flexible and create the experience in collaboration with the customer.
They also have the expertise and knowledge of European Jewish history and the local options and logistics.
Our office gives personal, tailor made service to each customer according to individual needs, religious culture (Orthodox Jews, Sabbath Observers and those keeping strictly kosher, Conservatives and Reform Jews). We are experts on family history research in most regions in Europe, as part of the experience we provide.

We work with a wide range of customers - schools and students, nuclear families, professional organizations, communities, cultural and educational institutions and more. Our staff members speak English, Spanish, French, Russian and Hebrew.

Hear it from those who've experienced Europe with us

Rabbi Gedaliah Oppen, Principal of Judaic Studies, Haftr Hebrew Academy

NY

The fabulous tour guide whom you handpicked for our mission was sensitive, extremely knowledgeable and engaging. Every detail was taken care of and was precisely what was needed to make this mission such a success...

David Keren, Vice President, Youth Programs and Strategic Partnerships, The Fuchsberg Center

Jerusalem

We have been working with the Israel Experience in Europe for the last 30 years for both our youth and adult groups. Throughout the years, the Israel Experience was able to make all the necessary arrangements such as sites, Synagogues, museums, lectures, and meetings with the leadership of the local Jewish communities. The Israel experience meets our religious requirements regarding Kosher meals and Shabbat observance. All of our groups have gone through a transformative experience which helped strengthen their Jewish knowledge and identity.

Zvia Ulpana

Haifa

The planning and organization were exceptional and commendable, including meeting the schedule, abundant meals and high-class hotels. We received a warm and attentive treatment.

Mario Sinai, Educational tour organizer

I have been working with the Israel Experience in organizing my educational trips to Poland and Europe for many years. The planning and organization of by The Israel Experience set a very high standard and exceeded our expectations.

Yehuda Moseson, Haftr Hebrew Academy

NY

Ephy has worked with me from shaping each trip logistically so to be able to maximize our time in each location we visited. Ephy always worked to provide our group with the best possible guides and hotel accommodations. The food was always plentiful and the kashrut was always to the highest standards. I would therefore recommend Ephy and the Jewish Experience Travel to help anyone or any organization planning such an endeavor. He will certainly help make your experience meaningful.

Rachel Nagar, Director, Missions & International Events, Keren Hayesod

We organized on a Jewish heritage tour in Poland for our employees, planned in full partnership with The Israel Experience, who adapted the plan to our needs and goals. The journey was a unique and meaningful experience that deepened our understanding of the story of the Holocaust.

Yoav Bahar, Israel Hotel Association

We have sent two missions to Poland with The Israel Experience, which were very successful. Both preparation and execution were perfect. We received close and supportive guidance, both before and throughout the journey.

Shoshana Kirshenbaum

Efrat was an outstanding head of mission. She faced the complex tasks of coordination with ministries, meeting the schedule and a complex group of participants. With much sensitivity she found a way to meet everyone’s needs. Efrat thought of every detail and it was a rich and powerful journey. The feedback from the students and parents is moving.

Yair Kanai, Head of Germany Educational Programs, The Jewish Agency

The ability you demonstrated in arranging kosher food, hotel accommodation and all logistics, such as educational tours in the city, equipped conference rooms and a party for the 500 conference participants, was very impressive and executed at the highest standards.
