Atlanta’s 2023 Community Journey to Israel
The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta led a tour group of over 200 members to Israel to experience the richness of Jewish history.
The Jewish Federation of Greater Atlanta recently led its Community Journey to Israel, offering a group of nearly 200 members the chance to visit Israel during Yom Ha-Shoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), Yom HaZikaron (Israeli Memorial Day) and Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel’s 75th anniversary).
The trip, which ran for one week from April 17-23, allowed local Jewish Atlanta community members, many meeting for the first time, to experience Israel’s rich history as well as its vibrant modern culture, including the country’s exquisite cuisine and bustling markets.
Highlights of the trip included participating in a Yom HaShoah Commemoration, featuring three generations of Jewish representation, visiting “Startup Village” in Yokneam, experiencing Shabbat in Jerusalem, excursions to Masada, the Dead Sea, Western Wall, and so much more.
The following are individual recollections, including personal favorites and highlights, from several members of the Federation’s Community Journey to Israel:
