“The breadth and depth of Kaleidoscope was unique in my experience of a wide range of international legal and geopolitical programs I have attended over more than 35 years. In the current serious geopolitical environment, it certainly warrants taking the time to engage in this very special program.”

“Kaleidoscope is an immersive, multi-dimensional exploration of the diverse challenges facing … includes … topic experts, activists, and performers; the places, sounds, food, and arts of Israel complement the educational message. You will explore places Jewish tourists seldom see, places that demonstrate the complexity of Israeli life and highlight experimental social projects intended to address the crises and conflicts facing Israeli society.”

"Kaleidoscope was a life altering trip for me. Having been so many times to Israel, this trip opened up an entirely different exposure … a real insight into the complexities of Israel today from an intellectual, political, social, educational and cultural perspective.”

“Kaleidoscope is an amazing five day immersive experience in Israel where participants learn of various grassroots organizations that range in perspectives and voices regarding politics, society, culture and values of Israel. I would definitely recommend the trip to others!”

"This was an outstanding program. It presented a truly unique view of Israel and the issues it faces today. I was most impressed with the caliber of speakers in the program. They were simply amazing."

"I was profoundly moved by Kaleidoscope. I feel three thousand years of history tapping me on the shoulder, and it has shaken me to the core... I have one homeland and right about now I could sure use a second. You are very fortunate to have Israel as a place you can come to as your second home."
John Schmidt
CEO, Content Media Corp., New York
"The program really allowed individuals to take what they wanted from the trip. For me, it was about learning who is not included in our narrative about Israel, whether historically or presently. I also appreciated that the group was diverse in age and where participants were from. It allowed for a lot of different viewpoints. The trip to Ramallah was incredible. It put the conflict into perspective and the difficulty of finding a solution a reality.”
Madeleine Sarick
Lawyer, VP Samuel Sarick Limited Developments
President at an Egalitarian-Conservative Synagogue in Toronto
"Everything about the Kaleidoscope program was superb – the team of staff, guides, and esteemed presenters provided admirable variety and a breadth of opportunities for an interesting cohort of fellow travelers to explore. We had amazing access to articulate leaders who could address relevant issues facing Israel today based on experience and knowledge. Diverse viewpoints were provided and dialogue was respectful. Staff and guides presented historical frameworks that were very useful in understanding current issues.”
