With antisemitism on the rise, high school students from various schools in Greenwich, Connecticut, came together for the fourth installment of the Israel Odyssey series, hosted at a private residence in Greenwich.

The vibrant spirit of Purim came alive at the recent "Purim in the Shuk" hosted by the “Israel Odyssey”. Held at the Arch Street Teen Center in Greenwich, CT, on March 24, the event brought together High School aged students for an evening filled with joy, tradition, and camaraderie.

The second installment of the Israel Odyssey series, featuring powerful Ted Talks from local speakers sharing their personal experiences about Israel and being Jewish.

Attendees heard from presenters speak on topics of IDF in Gaza, Collage Camps, High School, Social Media, and Volunteer Trip to Israel while Rabbi Yossi Deren provided insights on the history of the land.

Participants also contributed to a meaningful cause by baking Rachel's Cookies to support displaced Israelis, inspired by Rachel Edry's courageous act on October 7th.

Israel Odyssey is excited to introduce our exceptional leaders who will lead participants on this transformative journey. With expertise and passion for Israel, they are dedicated to creating a meaningful and enriching experience.
