Previously October 18th and continuing through Thursday October 29th, we will be offering online programs at 10:00 AM PDT and at 12:30 PM PDT every day other than Friday the 23rd and Saturday the 24th. The AM series features programs with amazing Israelis, including Ruth Calderon, Michael Freund, Udi Goren, Ayelet Gundar Goshen, Melila Hellner, Rachel Korazim, Shirel Horovitz, Dorit Rabinyan, Ayat Abou Shmeiss, Natalie Marcus and Asaf Beiser. On the PM track, join us for guided adventures with Uri Feinberg in Tel Aviv, the Negev, Jerusalem and the Galilee. Though this series in no way can replace the actual visit we were planning (which visit has been postponed to next October), we do hope that it gives you a taste of what a CSP Israel travel adventure is like – thought-provoking, eclectic, deep, with lots of options.
