Dear Beth Am Families:
What are you doing this summer? Please join me for an amazing trip to the land -- our land -- of Israel. No other place in the world reaffirms our values, our identities, and our history more so than the land of Israel. If you are looking for a summer that is both fun and meaningful, both spiritual and physically replenishing, and both cultured and relaxing, then this is the trip for you. Come with me to the place where so many of the why's we ask about our faith are answered. Together, as we walk, learn, play, and explore, the answers to the questions we pose will come to life. We will return closer to one another, more enriched, and filled with memories and entertaining stories to share with our friends at Beth Am. - Rabbi Earne
