Shorashim

We’re experienced in creating Israel experiences that go beyond the itinerary!

From past Taglit-Birthright Israel trips to current custom programs, our focus is simple: real connections, local immersion, and experiences that resonate long after the trip ends.

As a pluralistic nonprofit, collaboration is at the core of everything we do. We work closely with our partners to understand their goals, shape impactful programs, and execute with care and precision, bringing meaningful, people-centered programs to life.

Last week, we wrapped up another ‘A Mifgash That Matters’ experience with The iCenter, in partnership with CJP Boston.

This last trip included a variety of important sites, testimonies, & conversations. One organization that this group had the pleasure of meeting with is The Equalizer, a nonprofit whose focus is creating a national impact on Israel’s social challenges by using the power of sport as a tool for building bridges between different communities in Israel’s society.

‘A Mifgash That Matters’ is an immersive professional development program is designed for Jewish educators to learn about and engage with Israel in the context of the current, complex reality.

We look forward to continuing to give you a first-hand look at our work, experiences, partnerships, and more!

Sharing some meaningful moments and memories from our student leadership trips so far this year!

During these impactful experiences, non Jewish student leaders explore the dynamic, complex realities of Israel alongside a small number of their Jewish peers.

By engaging, exploring, learning, thinking, and questioning together, while hearing from a variety of diverse, enriching voices, students return to campuses with new, unique perspectives.

Our hearts these days are with our beloved Maayan Snapir, the granddaughter of Yocheved Lifsh*tz, who was among the first to be released from Hamas captivity, and of Oded Lifsh*tz, who was kidnapped along with Yocheved from Kibbutz Nir Oz.

After we received the heartbreaking news in recent days that he is no longer among the living, Oded was returned to Israel and will be buried Tuesday in the kibbutz he loved so much.

Over the past year and a half, Maayan has been a beacon of light in the darkness of this time.
With her unique eloquence and grace, she has spoken to dozens of Shorashim delegations, both in Israel and abroad.

Maayan, you have strengthened us throughout this entire period. You asked us to hold on to hope and to fight for a better society.

Today, we embrace you and send you our strength in return. We will continue to act and educate so that there will be a better and stronger future.

With love,
The Shorashim Family

Sending love, healing, and hope to all those impacted by the ongoing tragic devastation in Southern California ❣️❤️‍🩹💔
