November 7-18, 2026

This November, journey with Hebrew College on an unforgettable travel-learning trip, Between Rome and Jerusalem: An Inspiration Tour of Ancient and Contemporary Italy and its Jewish History, exploring the deep connections between Italy’s significant cultural legacy and its remarkable Jewish history.

From the canals and historic ghetto of Venice to Renaissance Florence and the eternal grandeur of Rome, this immersive experience blends breathtaking landscapes, world-class art, and meaningful encounters with Jewish communities past and present. Walk through synagogues and ancient ghettos, stand before Michelangelo’s masterpieces, tour Pompeii and the Vatican, celebrate Shabbat with the Jewish community of Rome, and reflect at the Arch of Titus on the enduring relationship between Rome and Jerusalem.

Led by Rabbi Dr. Leonard Gordon and Professor Jeffrey Woolf, this trip offers intellectual depth, spiritual resonance, and the joy of discovering Italy through a uniquely Jewish lens.
