What is the best way to visit Israel? By plane, by bus, or maybe by car? Derech Hateva believes the best way to see this small but fascinating country is by foot.

Registration is now open for Derech Hateva’s annual Israel Trail Teen Adventure (ITTA), a month-long outdoor program for Jewish teens from North America and Israel.

Covering parts of the Israel National Trail by foot (as well as mountain biking and rock climbing thrown in), combining environmental education, leadership and Torah-learning along the way.

“Derech Hateva teaches our kids how to be independent, strong mensches who are caring members of a community,” says Elena, an alumni parent.

This summer’s adventure dates are June 28th to July 27th for girls, and June 29th to July 27th for boys (ages 14 to 19).
