BBYO Passport: Ultimate Western Europe Israel

This trip combines our Western Europe Discovery and Israel Journey programs! Start your journey by exploring the iconic landmarks and cultural treasures of Western Europe. From London’s Buckingham Palace and the historic synagogues of the Jewish Quarter in Paris to the cobblestone streets of Brugge and the vibrant canals of Amsterdam, you’ll experience the diversity and vibrancy of England, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Delve into the rich history of the Jewish communities in these cities, visiting memorials and museums that honor both the triumphs and tragedies of European Jewry. Enjoy immersive experiences like cycling through the Dutch countryside, exploring medieval castles, and soaking in the artistic heritage of museums like the Louvre and the Van Gogh Museum, all while connecting with Jewish culture through authentic Shabbatot and meaningful visits to places like the Anne Frank House and the Shoah Memorial.Continue your adventure in Israel, where you’ll journey from the ancient streets of Jerusalem to the modern cityscape of Tel Aviv, the lush Galilee to the vast Negev Desert. Take part in a range of hands-on experiences that connect you to Israel’s dynamic society—explore historical sites like Masada and the Western Wall, hike through the Judean Desert, and float effortlessly in the Dead Sea. Along the way, engage in volunteer projects, savor the flavors of local markets, and immerse yourself in Israeli culture through cross-cultural encounters and outdoor adventures. This transformative experience offers a unique blend of historical exploration, exhilarating activities, and meaningful connections, allowing you to find your place within the broader Jewish story and deepen your connection to this storied land.
