We warmly invite all ShinShinim host families, partner institutions, lay leaders, alumni, and supporters to join us for this unique experience.

Spend a meaningful week immersed in Israeli life as you tour and volunteer in Northern and Southern Israel, followed by five days of impactful volunteer work alongside ShinShinim alumni from across the past 20 years at a variety of sites throughout Central Israel.

The journey will include a special 20th Anniversary ShinShinim Alumni Reunion, celebrating two decades of friendship, leadership, and lasting impact.
