Join us on a life-changing trip to explore Israel and the Palestinian territories to better understand Israel-Palestine conflict.

​

Hillel at Binghamton will bring Binghamton University undergraduate student leaders together to learn about the geopolitical relations between Israel and its neighboring countries . During the trip, we will explore the perspectives of  Israeli society, Palestinian society, and the challenges in the region.

​

Some things we might see, learn, and do:

• Explore the multi-ethnic, religious, and national diversity of the Old City of Jerusalem.

• Hear multiple narratives from a wide variety of speakers and guests, including religious, secular, Druze, Christian, Jewish-Israeli, Israeli-Arab,  Palestinian, and Muslim voices.

• Walk the streets of Old Jaffa and Tel Aviv, for a Palestinian and Israeli perspective on this old & new city.

• Tour the separation barrier/security wall between Israel and the West Bank.

• Visit the Gazan, Syrian, and Lebanese borders to understand the regional context.

• Hear from Palestinian leaders and locals in East Jerusalem 

• Enjoy delicious cuisine and build community with a diverse group of fellow Binghamton student leaders.

​​

Perspectives is a (nearly) free trip, including flights from an international New York/Newark airport, hotels, guided tours, and most meals. If you are offered a spot on the trip and you accept it, your only costs will be: getting yourself to and from the airport, ​one meal per day, and other personal shopping.

​

We seek dynamic undergraduate Binghamton student leaders of all backgrounds and perspectives to join.
