Authentic Israel

This was our first Authentic Israel trip. I now understand why people choose to travel with AI multiple times. Our leader, Toby, creates a warm and friendly atmosphere which makes it easy to get to know our fellow travelers and that greatly adds to the enjoyment. Morocco was different than any other place we have visited. We learned a great deal about the current Jewish Moroccan population and the Jewish population of the past. I especially enjoyed our Shabbat experience and enjoyed visiting synagogues in each of the cities we visited. The synagogue In Casablanca was beautiful. It was fun to participate in the ATV drive and I loved the Hammam. All in all a wonderful trip.

What an incredible experience. It was planned very well. We were immersed in so many meaningful cultural experiences. I loved the people on our tour and we all became friends. Thanks to Toby, Gadi and Hamsa for expert guidance and care!

Authentic Israel,Toby and her team provided an outstanding trip which highlighted Jewish life in Morocco along with local color. Don't miss this trip!

The program was well organized, our guide, Irad, was excellent, the participants were all interesting and easy to get along with, and the work we did was worthwhile. We would recommend Authentic Israel to others.

If I could I would give this trip more than 5 stars! It 100% met all the hopes that I had for the trip and surpassed them. I felt driven to offer some support to Israel in her time of need and this was amply fulfilled by getting stuck in to some good old work opportunities. On top of this I felt privileged to meet some remarkable Israelis who rose to the challenges with dedication and boundless energy. Additionally it felt incredibly supportive to bond as a group in our shared drive to help as well as therapeutic to share our very similar experiences of dealing with antisemitism in the diaspora (UK, USA and Canada). I feel energised and buoyed up by this beautiful experience. Big thanks to our tour guide Gadi, who set the tone beautifully for our group to share, learn, work and have fun together! Big thanks to Toby who provided so much personal support around dealing with the cancelled June trip (due to the Iran war) and rescheduling for this wonderful October trip. I highly recommend Authentic Israel 🇮🇱 ❤️
