On a vacation anywhere in the world, you can hire an excellent guide who will bring history to life and make your trip memorable. However for a visitor to Israel, the trip should be transformative and life changing as you discover your place in this incredible story. That is why Melitz offers a unique approach to Israel travel.

Rather than 'off-the-rack, one size fits all' tours, each program is specifically designed for you and with you, based on your community's needs and educational vision, because you know your community better than anyone. Your itinerary is designed, staffed and guided by tour educators to ensure your trip is educationally driven.

A tour educator is a Jewish educator who is also a tour guide; a subtle but significant shade of meaning. For example a tour guide might explain to your group the historical events that took place at Masada, but a Melitz tour educator will also help them see how this is relevant to their lives as Jews in 21st century North America. This transforms them from tourists to links in the chain. All this is done in a creative, informal educational fashion, so participants learn while having loads of fun.
