Summer trip to Israel

Eliana Goldwasser spent the summer of 2021 in Israel on the NFTY Mitzvah Corps, an immersive social justice travel program, combining travel with volunteer work, offered by the Reform movement. In the photo, Eliana is on the right with her friend, Rowan, whom she met on the trip. They are at the Jerusalem Archeological Park at the egalitarian section of the Western Wall. Eliana’s family was a participant in the Alliance’s matching savings program, known as the Gift of Israel.

The Rhode Island Jewish community supports an Israel experience as an integral part of a student’s education and growing Jewish identity.  Grants are available to all high school, college and graduate students who are residents of greater Rhode Island planning to visit Israel on a recognized study/travel program.
