Philanthropists and visionaries Ron and Pam Rubin want to invest in YOU for the trip of a lifetime.

Your Israel Experience
It is the hope and expectation for this unique Israel experience to inspire its participants, upon return, to be full of energy and passion for Jewish community involvement. It’s more than just a free trip to Israel for young adults. This trip demonstrates the Jewish community’s dedication and investment in people like you who possess the ability to step up and be in the “driver’s seat” of their community.
