Programs and Services

For Israel & Overseas

Through immersive travel, deep partnerships, and hands-on support, we help individuals and families experience Israel in a way that’s personal and meaningful. We’re here to help you build relationships, broaden understanding, and feel at home in the global Jewish landscape.

Connecting to Israel and Jewish life around the world

For Adults
Israel Center  

Form meaningful connections with Israel and Jewish communities around the world. Through immersive travel, teen and family programming, and the presence of our Shinshinim (young Israeli emissaries), we bring Israel closer—offering experiences that deepen Jewish identity and foster lifelong relationships.

For Adults
Global Jewish Travel & Cultural Exchange  

Our trips are designed to foster connection in Jewish communities across the globe. These experiences deepen your ties to Jewish life, support communities in need, and offer new ways to see the world through a Jewish lens.

For Israel & Oversees
Teen Israel Experiences  

Our flagship Israel Bound program brings St. Louis teens together for a powerful three-week summer journey through Israel—including a unique connection to our partner region. Travel grants and merit scholarships are available to help make these experiences possible.

For Israel & Oversees
Passport to Israel  

We make Israel travel more accessible by providing savings accounts and travel grants for eligible teens and young adults. Whether you’re joining a peer-based program or planning a long-term immersive experience, we’re here to help you get there.

Shinshinim

Bringing Israel Closer Through Shinshinim

Each year, Federation brings exceptional young Israeli emissaries (Shinshinim) to St. Louis. Through school visits, holiday celebrations, and everyday moments, they help local families build meaningful, lasting connections with Israeli culture and life.
