temple b'nai abraham Israel
family Tour, Dec. 22, 2024 to Jan. 1, 2025

Take the opportunity this December to share our homeland of Israel with your family.  Join with your TBA friends and you will come back profoundly moved with memories you will never forget.

Israel is a place where you will see history come alive and nature flourish, feel the warm welcome of our people, taste the many flavors of our foods, hear the stories of the many people who call this land home, smell the fragrance of spices, flowers, forest and seas, and experience a memorable visit to a sacred place. We hope to see you all in Israel.
