Why should your teen go to Israel?
Why should you save with the Passport program?

Studies show that a teen Israel experience cements and strengthens a teen’s Jewish identity and establishes lifelong involvement in the Jewish life. Friendships and bonds with Israel and Israelis forged on teen Israel trips last well into adulthood.

“There is no better way to truly understand what it means to be Jewish, to feel the intense joys and exciting possibilities of Jewish life, than a teen trip to Israel. The Israel experience is an important part of every child¹s Jewish education,” says Barry Shrage, president of CJP.

Since 1989, the Passport to Israel Program has helped send nearly 2,000 teens to Israel and the Program has grown from 11 congregations to 49 with over 2,800 Boston area youngsters currently enrolled. We are one of the oldest and most successful CJP programs with a strong record of effectiveness. Children who enroll can use the funds to travel to Israel anytime after 10th grade and before college.

Myra and Robert Kraft founded the program based on their conviction that the next generation deserves a strong connection to Israel.

“My first trip to Israel on a teen program changed my life forever. I can see now how this powerful teen experience propelled me into a life committed to Israel and the Jewish people. I guarantee that sending your child to Israel will be a life-transforming experience,” said Myra Kraft
