​Explore Israel on your own!​ 

Here at Hillel Milwaukee we believe in taking our student’s experiences to the next level by bringing them to Israel, on their own terms.

Experiencing Israel first hand will advance the students’ personal relationships with Israel, and will help them form their Israel identity.

Below you will find different Israel experience opportunities available to our students!
