Ayelet made sure that the trip was educational, fun and exciting for both first time and return visitors to Israel. It was such a pleasure to travel worry-free. We never had to worry about timing, baggage, or logistics - we could just enjoy the amazing country of Israel... - Betty L. and Howard R.

My husband and I took our grandson on the Ayelet Bar Mitzvah trip in June. This was our 8th trip to Israel but Jake’s first trip. We have been on several Ayelet mission trips with Hadassah and they have all been spectacular. This trip was especially enjoyable because we shared it with our grandson. Our guide was one of the best we had ever had. The Bar Mitzvah ceremony was lovely, Shabbat in Jerusalem was thrilling….WE LOVED IT ALL. - Alana F.
