The Myra and Robert Kraft Passport to Israel Program

Any child in third or seventh grade who is enrolled in a Jewish educational program and whose family belongs to a participating congregation in Greater Boston.

Based on current economic conditions, contributions plus interest should total approximately:

• $2,200 for seven-year participants

• $2,000 for three-year participants

No, but it will cover a significant portion of the cost of a teen Israel program.

Closer to the trip, families may also apply for additional scholarships from the travel program provider, their congregation, CJP, and national organizations.

You and the congregation will receive a full refund of all contributions. Any interest will remain with the Passport to Israel Program fund.

If your child transfers to another participating congregation, they may continue in the program.

The contribution for the seven-year Passport to Israel savings program (starting in third grade) is:

• $200 jointly from your family and congregation each year

• $700 from CJP, contributed at the end of the program

The contribution for the three-year option (starting in seventh grade) is:

• $400 jointly from your family and congregation each year

• $700 from CJP, contributed at the end of the program

Teens can use their Passport funds for an approved Israel educational trip any time after 10th grade and before college.

Funds may be used for post-10th grade educational trips to Israel lasting at least seven days.

Trips must also be approved by your congregation’s Passport to Israel Program Committee.
