As a part of building our IsraelNow community and getting to know your teen, there are three pre-trip orientations for our participants. You can find these dates on the specific trip timeline after you register. Parents/ guardians are expected to attend the final orientation with their teen. The first two orientations are just for the teens.  

Milwaukee Jewish Federation also offers a multitude of ways for IsraelNow alumni to stay engaged upon return and through each participants’ high school career. Following the trip, IsraelNow alumni will come together to explore programs offered through Federation and meet directly with our partner agencies and synagogues to find their local connection to our Jewish community. Please visit our website at milwaukeejewish.org/teens to learn more or contact Dalilah Conen, Director of Teen Initiatives at [email protected] 

We have a created a letter that parents may use to help explain the IsraelNow program and educational experience that can be shared with schools and teachers. It will be shared upon registration, but you can find a sample letter from another IsraelNow community below.
