For Adults

Global Jewish Travel & Cultural Exchange

Through Federation-led travel and cultural exchange programs, participants have the opportunity to visit these communities firsthand. You'll meet local leaders, explore Jewish heritage sites, and better understand the resilience and richness of Jewish life across the globe.

Experience Jewish Life Around the World

Jewish identity is global. While Israel is a central part of the Jewish story, vibrant communities also exist in places like Cuba, Morocco, Mexico, Italy, and beyond—each shaped by its own unique history, traditions, and challenges.

These journeys help us see Jewish life through a broader lens—expanding our perspective on global connection, shared responsibility, and the diversity of the Jewish experience. Each trip is a powerful reminder: wherever we go, we are part of something bigger.

What to Expect

These trips are designed for adults who want meaningful cultural connection, thoughtful reflection, and shared experience with others from our St. Louis Jewish community.
