Create lifelong memories and build a lasting connection to Israel

Take it All In

Touching the ancient stones, listening to the pulse of the living desert, savoring the local color and flavor—every experience is a multi-sensory trip through time and tradition.

Unlimited Horizons

We want to put unforgettable finishing touches on your Israel tour and find the perfect ways to take your trip to the next level. Whether earth, sea, or sky, we can take you further: new perspectives, uniquely you.

Magical Moments

Our Details-Matter philosophy translates everyday occasions into once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We’re never satisfied with good enough—we’ll always be working to add a little magic into your Israel trip.

Family Fun

We know all kinds of ways to bring your family together: from a scavenger hunt or hummus-making competition to an overnight army adventure in the desert, or anything in between.

Create a Bar Mitzvah tour that perfectly fits your family

Your personal Tour Specialist will help you build the perfect Bar Mitzvah experience to celebrate your Bar Mitzvah Boy (and the whole family). From expert event-planning to custom commemorations, Dekel Tours is here for you.

EVENT VENUES

The options for Bar 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 your son’s Bar Mitzvah, 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 Bar 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.

I went on this tour with friends and family.

Whenever we had a question or concern before, and during our trip , Brad responded immediately.

He was thoughtful, considerate and very helpful and accommodating.

He made my first trip to Israel so very special. I saw and did things on my list and other things I did not know about that were interesting and enjoyable. 

He also gave us names of places to eat which were very tasty.

I hope to visit Israel again some day and would not hesitate to call and use Brad and Dekel  Tours.

I recommend Brad Lennox and Dekel Tours very highly!

Anyone who uses them will have an exceptional experience!!!!

It turned out to be far greater than going with a tour group with any of the local tour companies. I'm so glad we did Dekel Tours. They tailored the tour around where we wanted to go, made all the arrangements, and the guide was fabulous. I couldn't be more pleased. I would certainly recommend them again, and plan to use their services the next time we visit Israel. Thank you! read less

Dekel Tours was the most professional out of them, very organized, quick on responding to our emails, considering all of our wishes and needs, making thoughtful advises and suggestions to make our trip unforgettable. It was a pleasure working with Bradley Lennox, who planned the itinerary for our trip. We explored the most beautiful parts of Israel, experienced culture and food, we visited all significant sightseeing and places of interest. That is what we wanted and Dekel Tours made it happened. 

We would like to express our gratitude to everyone in Dekel Tours for providing an excellent job. Thank you guys. read less

Celebrate your Bar or Bat Mitzvah on Masada

Hundreds of Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies are held each year at Mt. Masada in the south of Israel. Many Jewish families from Israel and around the world, religious and secular, choose to hold this moving ceremony at this location which in the Jewish tradition symbolizes bravery, resilience and the victory of the soul.

B’nei Mitzvah in Israel — Choosing a Venue

Planning a Bar or Bat Mitzvah in Israel is a bit different from planning one in your home community. For starters, the Torah-reading service won’t be happening in your local synagogue – and possibly not even in a synagogue at all. For many families, the image they have of the Bar or Bat Mitzvah in

Just because throwing a grand reception with 200 of your son’s closest friends and family members may not be on the agenda for your family’s Bar Mitzvah Tour in Israel, that doesn’t mean that the party has to stop as soon as the Torah scroll gets closed.
