Ultimate Israel: Hadassah's Autumn Mission to Israel
TELL YOUR MEMBERS! Led by Aileen Bormel. Long after the summer crowds have left and before the High Holidays, Autumn offers the best opportunity to see Israel at its best! In Jerusalem, connect with the land and plant a tree at Neot Kedumim, the Biblical botanical garden. Sample the delicious foods at Machane Yehuda. Take a walking tour of the Cardo, shop along Ben Yehuda Street and tour the Western Wall. Tour Hadassah Hospitals in Mt. Scopus & Ein Kerem, including the Mother and Child Pavillion and the Sarah Wetsman Davidson Hospital Tower. Float on the Dead Sea and ascend to Masada by cable car. Visit a Bedouin camp and ride a camel in the desert. Ride along the stunning cliffs of Rosh Hanikra to marvel at the might and beauty of the white chalk grottoes carved by the Mediterranean. Visit Akko and explore the Crusader-era fortifications and traverse the secret Templar Tunnel. Take a stroll through the beautiful Bahai Temple and Persian Gardens in Haifa. End the trip in cosmopolitan Tel Aviv and see how the future is being built right on the shores of the Mediterranean! Join Hadassah in Israel this Autumn and see why we keep going back! October 31 - November 10, 2017.
