Event venues
The options for bat mitzvah venues in Israel are literally endless. We’ll help you choose the perfect spot for your ceremony: whether traditional or off-the-beaten-track, whatever your must-haves (seating for guests, air conditioning, ambiance, nature…). We’ll be your on-site event coordinator.
Meals & receptions
Simple kiddush or brunch? Cocktail reception or celebratory meal? It’s hard enough planning a special event in your local community, let alone halfway across the globe! Let us help you plan the celebration that’s perfect for you and your guests. We’ll handle all the details.
Celebratory activities
We want to help you keep the celebration going. Your Israel tour may revolve around the Bat Mitzvah Day, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the most out of every other day on your tour! Enjoy every moment with the perfect activities for your whole family. ATVing, climbing & rappelling, rafting, culinary adventures, spa days, and more!
Commemorate your way
Mark the occasion in a way that reflects your personality and your values. Want to volunteer with a local service agency? Plant a tree? Host a dinner for lone soldiers? Participate in the Yad Vashem Bat Mitzvah Twinning Program? Engage in a Torah study or a Kabbalah workshop? We’d love to help you get the most out of your tour.
A world of flavors
With so many distinct peoples and cultures calling this region home, the local flavors and aromas are as fascinating and complex as the history of the land. Every taste is a cultural exchange.
Feel the adrenaline
We may have a soft spot for sight-seeing, but we know how to turn it up a notch (or five) too. Set your spice level to mild, medium, or flaming, and we’ll take you to the fun.
Volunteer opportunities
Reaching out and engaging with people from different cultures or communities can be deeply enriching and meaningful. Let us help you make an impact.
Interactive workshops
Enjoy the family time and keep the celebration vibe going with a fun and engaging workshop, specialty tour, scavenger hunt, or other group activity. Food, wine, art, archaeology, history, whatever your crew is into.
