Atlanta's 2023 Community Journey to Israel: Nicole Lipson & Brian Alterman

What was your favorite place visited?
Masada was special for us.

What was your favorite restaurant or menu item while in Israel?
Falafel, of course!

What made this trip special from others?
We loved Claro in Tel Aviv. Being in Israel was especially meaningful to us. It was our first visit. You hear about Israel your whole life, but never figure that you will get there.

We loved the trip. It was very well planned and offered options for everyone. We never expected we’d end up seeing the places we’d heard about our whole lives.

Touching the Wall, visiting the tunnels underneath, seeing the museums. All the sights were special to us. We really loved meeting the other first timers, and getting together as a whole group was wonderful. Visiting Yokne’am and having dinner with our matched family was fantastic.

Nicole Lipson and Brian Alterman are recently retired and traveling the world, enjoying their new found freedom from the working world.
