Upcoming Trips
Civil Rights & Jews of the South Mission
Monday, March 10-Wednesday, March 12, 2025
This trip is SOLD OUT.
The Civil Rights journey is one in which we will become empowered and inspired. We will meet with Reverends who worked and strategized with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as well as people who participated in the march from Selma to Montgomery. We will also discuss Jewish involvement in the Movement and how Passover correlates so strongly with the Civil Rights story. We will understand that Civil Rights is not an issue that only impacted a specific people in the 1950s & 60s but is an ongoing issue today and being fought for by a variety of groups that have not felt they had a voice in the world. Our journey includes stops in Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham.

March of the Living is a special program that brings together people worldwide to learn about the Jewish community that once flourished in Europe, the tragedy of the Holocaust, and the revival of Judaism in Eastern Europe today.
Join thousands of Jews and non-Jews, from countries all around the world, and share in a once-in-a-lifetime experience as we explore and bare witness to the atrocities of the Holocaust, culminating in the 3-kilometers march from Auschwitz to Birkenau, the largest concentration camp complex built by the Nazis during World War II. The March commemorates Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. The journey continues in Vienna where we learn about the history and revival of the Jewish people.
