The Jewish Federation of Greater Hartford is organizing a 10-day mission to Israel to take place Oct. 30 – Nov. 9, 2017. Led by co-chairs Carolyn and Jeff Gitlin and Vicki and Richard Rosenthal, the group will hike and ride ATVs in the Israeli wilderness, tour a vineyard, visit Hartford’s sister region of Afula-Gilboa, tour the Knesset, visit holy sites and learn how Federation is improving life for Israelis in need, and much more.
