World Jewish Travel Official
World Jewish Travel is a non-profit and started with a vision to make Jewish cultural travel accessible to anyone wanting to explore the long and rich history of Jewish communities around the globe. We work with Jewish communities, municipalities and national tourism boards to help them curate pages on the site. A part of our mission is to give students vital work experience, so this project is managed by a team of students from the Reichman University in Israel.
