Why Travel with Israel Way?
Shalom,
Welcome to the JewishTeenTravel.com, a division of Israel Way. The company was founded in 1986 as a travel company geared toward the young Jewish traveler, under the name "Oranim Educational Initiatives". In 2011 the company name was changed to Israel Way when it was sold to Egged Tours, Israel's premiere provider of day tours to Jerusalem, Masada and other leading sites in Israel as well as tours to China, Thailand and Europe for Israelis.
Our broad menu of programs in Israel and abroad focuses on a Jewish audience but includes a diversity of additional populations. Israel Way has developed unique travel curricula based on the communality of the Jewish people, and we encourage travel to Israel as part of life-long learning concerning the history and heritage of the Jewish People. Some of our groups also travel to Europe in order to trace the roots of Jewish and Israeli history, and to mark the contributions made by Jews to various cities across the globe. Because Israel Way was established and is operated in Israel - in the Jewish national and cultural heart - we are just the people to turn to when you are looking for a special, out-of-the-ordinary look at the Jewish People.
This summer, teens will set off on a journey to Israel and the world with leaders in Jewish travel. Our programs are known to be fun, exciting, and adventurous. Each program has been developed by experts who know the hot-spots, the fun destinations, sites and activities that are exciting - for teens. Teens know they'll have this summer adventure to remember. Parents will love the professional care we provide and the unbeatable rates we are offering.
The best part of our trips are the Israelis who join in during the tour and travel with you. You will make new friends and discover what you have in common with Israelis, even visiting their homes. This has consistently been the coolest part of the trip.
