Israel
Being citizens of the world gives us the opportunities to forge deeper relationships and a better understanding with the people, state, and land of Israel. Come along with us as we connect to our national Jewish home.

Join Sutton Place Synagogue on an unforgettable journey to Israel!

Experience the beauty and vibrancy of our Jewish homeland as we explore the ancient streets of Jerusalem, the dynamic energy of Tel Aviv, the grandeur of the Negev, and spend meaningful time at sites connected to the events of October 7. Together, we will deepen our connection to Jewish history and heritage, strengthen our bonds as a community, and also enjoy the joy and fun of traveling in Israel—great food, culture, and shared memories. This trip promises to be both inspiring and uplifting, blending learning, service, and celebration. Please let Rabbi Ain know if you are interested in learning more about the trip. Registration will open soon.
