Legacy Israel

The Legacy Israel Trip is designed for adults seeking an immersive experience similar to what Birthright participants enjoy on their Israel journey. This unique program provides an in-depth exploration of Israel through touring, reflection and engaging recreational activities. It offers a chance to experience the same awe-inspiring sights and experiences allowing you to connect deeply with the land, its people and its culture.

The trip package encompasses a range of high-quality amenities to ensure a comfortable and enriching experience. It includes 4-star hotel accommodations with daily sumptuous breakfasts, a luxury air-conditioned coach for 7 days (excluding Shabbat), and an experienced tour educator for 8 days. The package also covers dinners or lunches daily, entrance fees to all sites and attractions on the itinerary, and full support from the Israel Maven team to ensure everything runs smoothly.

The Legacy Israel Trip is inclusive of all backgrounds and religious affiliations. It provides opportunities to celebrate Jewish traditions and explore Jewish culture, and is open to everyone. The trip features kosher food at all tour-sponsored activities, and no travel will take place on Shabbat, allowing for a respectful and enjoyable experience for all participants.

The trips are scheduled to take place annually in May and September. These periods offer favorable weather conditions and provide a great opportunity for travelers to explore Israel’s diverse landscapes and cultural landmarks. The trips are offered yearly to ensure that you can choose a time that best fits your schedule.

The Legacy Israel trip is designed with seniors in mind, offering a moderate pace that balances guided tours with ample rest periods. While some walking is involved, we ensure that activities are suitable for varying mobility levels.​

The group is usually between 15 to 35 people, which we’ve found to be a great size—it’s small enough to still feel personal and allow for individualized care, but large enough to create a meaningful group dynamic. It’s the perfect balance for meeting new people, sharing the experience together, and exploring Israel as part of a warm and connected group.

While the itinerary includes some light shopping opportunities during the day, and free time on Thursday night and Shabbat morning (when most shops are closed), if you would like extended time to shop, tour on your  own, or visit family and friends we suggest that you extend your stay in Israel for a few days at your own leisure. This allows for a more relaxed experience without missing out on any of the group programming.
