Testimonials

Here are a few words shared by participants from recent editions. Sincere and heartfelt reflections that reveal the deep impact of these trips:

“Before this trip, I had rarely wondered whether I would ever go to Israel. Discovering this country—its traditions, its historical richness—felt distant, almost unattainable. The trip organized by our three schools was a unique opportunity. Without this initiative, I probably would never have come to Israel.”

“I return transformed. This stay left a profound mark on me: discovering Jewish traditions, feeling the intensity of the bonds between people, and sensing the remarkable strength of character in every encounter and every place. The week was dense, at times overwhelming, but always enriching, filled with meaningful visits and breathtaking landscapes.”

“A special word about our guides: they brought this trip to life. Their stories, anecdotes, and passion allowed us to enter the history and culture of the country with emotion and humanity.”

“The most striking moment for me was the visit to the Yad Vashem memorial in Jerusalem. It is difficult to put into words what one feels in such a place. I left deeply changed, thanks in particular to the sensitivity and insight of our guide.”

“This trip opened a door that I will not close again. It made me want to return—and also to share this country with my loved ones.”

“To be honest, this wasn’t just a trip. It was above all a discovery. A discovery I had been waiting for since childhood without really knowing why. Perhaps, as one of our guides said, because this region is the cradle of all civilizations. That is likely why, although I am an atheist, I was deeply moved when arriving at the Kotel and shaken by the history of the Jewish people at the top of Masada—because this history is, beyond religion, profoundly human.

This journey was also filled with wonderful encounters. I formed friendships that I hope will last a long time, if not a lifetime. I also met Israelis whose resilience, courage, and joy of living truly impressed me.

This week was full of surprises. I was struck many times by the energy and vitality that emanate from this country and its inhabitants. We arrived in Tel Aviv on Independence Day, and I was captivated by the vibrancy of the city. What I saw there is far from the image portrayed in the media. I want to thank all the organizers and donors who made this exceptional trip possible. Thank you and see you soon!”
