Volunteer mission to Israel only $1400 Including airfare
You are invited to join the Aish Detroit and Aish Denver communities for a one-week volunteer trip to Israel offered through "Israel Outdoors". This subsidised trip is available to anyone 18+. We have two dates available: June 21-28 (anyone) and July 12-20 (Couples only)
​
Questions:
Are meals included? Daily breakfast and some dinners, most meals are on your own.
Can I extend my stay? To take advantage of the flight subsidy you must arrive on the group flight, but you can extend your ticket and will be responsible for only the difference in fare.
Can I book my own flights? Yes, but you would only get a $700 credit (So you would pay only $700 plus your own airfare)
What's the daily Schedule? We volunteer every day, and have evening off to schedule Aish activities. Most of our ovenights will be in Jerusalem, with one possible night up North.
What is the registration process? Pre-register with Aish Detroit to hold your spot with a $300 deposit which is fully refundable. Registration on the Israel outdoor website will be open in January. You will then fill out the final registration on their site. ​​
Space is Limited
register early!
Since we're still several months out, the specific service projects haven't been finalized yet since it's difficult to predict exactly what will be needed most at that time. However, I can give you a good sense of what we're planning. We're expecting to volunteer approximately 4-6 hours per day where the need is greatest. The opportunities will be different each day and in different locations (so not the kind of trip where you are doing one thing the whole time) Potential projects may include renewing and supporting communities in the north or south, assisting farmers who have lost their workforce, providing logistical support at various sites, or helping at hospitals, etc. Beyond the service work, we'll visit border communities, stand in solidarity and bear witness by hearing directly from those affected by October 7 and connect with Israelis ,etc. Late afternoons and evenings will offer opportunities for off-the-beaten-path experiences (we're assuming most participants will have been to Israel before, so we want to offer something fresh and meaningful.) Fridays will be dedicated to full-day touring and learning opportunities, and Shabbat will be observed as Shabbat, with no volunteering, just rest and community and spiritual connection.
