Learn about the Passport to Israel program through CJP and Temple Emanuel.
Studies show that a teen Israel experience cements and strengthens a teen’s Jewish identity and establishes lifelong involvement in Jewish life. Friendships forged in Israel during these trips last well into adulthood.
The Myra and Robert Kraft Passport to Israel program is a unique savings plan to help parents send their children on a life-changing teen Israel experience. The program is designed so that the community, the synagogue and CJP, helps families make a trip to Israel during the high school years a reality.
Join Passport to Israel Chair, Mike Isman, for an information session to learn more!
