Trip Dates: September 22-29, 2024

A culinary journey transcends mere physical travel. 

It encompasses cultural immersion and transformative experiences that deepen your connection to Israel and it’s people through food.

Accommodation will be provided at boutique hotels, ensuring both comfort and luxury. However, this is far more than a regular visit; participants will have the opportunity to engage in meaningful encounters, activities, volunteering, and learning more about the local culture and day-to-day life.

Immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of Israeli communities, diving into the varied ethnicities and their distinct cuisines that have woven themselves into the fabric of Israeli culture. Trace the evolution of culinary traditions, from biblical times to the cutting-edge of today's FoodTech innovations.

For Aliza, organizing a culinary journey to Israel has been dream for the last few years. 

Aliza has had a long career in informal education and Israeli culture. She's also the chef and founder of BishulimSF. Her service aims at making the best match of contemporary Israeli cuisine and California tradition and produce. 

Aliza is an eighth-generation Jerusalemite. Raised in the kitchens of Jerusalem, she grew up cooking and eating everything the city's streets and markets had to offer. Growing up in Jerusalem makes her intimately familiar with Jerusalem's culinary collision of flavors and cultures. It is that 'best of all worlds' touch that she tries to bring into her cooking.

A nonprofit organization devoted to building long-lasting bridges between Israeli and North American Jews on multiple levels. As a cutting-edge educational organization that has been a pioneer in cross-educational programs, we have a team dedicated to bringing the highest quality of bicultural programs to fruition. We maintain the approach that the human landscape, involving authentic encounters with Israelis, must act as a core component in addressing contemporary Israel.
