Building Jewish Roots the Israel Experience

Thousands of young North American Jews visit Israel every year on organized, educational, heritage tours. Israel Experience Programs present religion, homeland, and nation to participants in compelling and sometimes unsettling ways. Supported by Jewish communal institutions, these programs are encouraged for their presumed value in combating assimilation and a loss of Jewish culture. Faydra Shapiro suggests that their real success may lie elsewhere.

  • "The author's study focuses on Livnot U'Lehibanot, an Israel Experience Program designed for Jews who have drifted away from their roots. Combining hiking, manual labour, and trational Jewish studies, the program creates a rich context for studying pressing issues of identity, ethnic choices and cultural change."
