The rich history of Israel is deeply influenced by other Jewish communities worldwide, whose connection to Israel spans the past, present, and future. Olami explores these connections with a series of week-long journeys outside of Israel to countries around the globe – from the cobblestone streets of Europe to the villages of Africa – to discover how they shaped the creation of Israel, and how Israel continues to shape them today.
A number of Olami tours are available, each focusing on a different region of the world, and a different theme in Jewish history.
The Zionist Revolution: France, Eastern Europe, London, Morocco, Ethiopia Israel, Africa, and the Jews: Kenya, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Tunisia Israel and Islam: Mauritania, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Morocco Sephardi Judaism and Zionism: Spain, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, Holland
