Shalom! Welcome to the 2007/2008 Beth El Family Mission Page. On December 24th, 2007 approximately eighty Beth El members and their families journeyed to the Land of Israel together for what was an experience of a lifetime. During the ten-day mission, facilitated by JUF Chicago, these families were able to see the sites, connect to the people, explore the land, learn about their heritage, help Israelis in need, have tons of fun and make new friends from their Beth El community at home. It was a transformative experience for all that none of us will forget. Below is our itinerary, some mementos and a pictorial presentation of our wonderful experience. Enjoy!
