As mentioned under “Is it safe to visit Israel,” IsraelNow is continually assessing the situation to determine if travel to Israel meets our safety and security guidelines. If it is safe to travel to Israel, we will do so!
If it is determined to be unsafe for our group to travel, an alternative IsraelNow experience (similar to what was offered in 2024) will be offered to our participants. See here for more information about our 2024 IsraelNow experience in Northern California.
IsraelNow will make a final decision about an Alternative Experience no later than Nov. 1.

How will this trip be different than previous IsraelNow trips?
IsraelNow is constantly reviewing itineraries based on feedback from previous years, advancements in education best practices and the ever-changing tourism landscape in Israel.
We plan to address the impact of Oct. 7 and the war on both Israel as well as on our participants in an age-appropriate way. We will expose our group to diverse narratives and experiences and equip them with the tools to engage with complex ideas.
How will I know what’s going on?
We will remain in communication with all our IsraelNow families throughout the process
We will keep you informed on the status and of any changes to our program
