The Year of Mitzvot as an Opportunity for a Shared Journey Along the Israel Trail
Old Hillel: "My feet lead me to the place I love." (Babli, Sukkah 35, a)
The year of the commandments is much more than one event.
This is a year of transition, maturation, questions, connection –
And an honest and genuine opportunity for quality time with your child.
I invite you to build together an annual plan designed for families,
Who choose to walk for Israel –
In the right sections, in the right seasons,
And in a process that connects everyone.

What does the year of mitzvot along the Israel Trail actually look like?
The program spans an entire year.
About one outing every month.
Throughout the year, one- or two-day trips are combined with accommodation of your choice.
All are tailored to the seasons, the desired level of difficulty, and your family's personality.
Every trip begins with a clear intention, goes through the terrain and the shared walk, and ends with a closure that connects the experience to what you went through together.
Values and themes that accompany the path
Each section receives a central theme/value, which is chosen together and is appropriate for both the area and the stage in life.
Examples:
Identity and Belonging
Maturity and responsibility
Dealing with difficulty
Friendship and a common path
independence
Family
The first trip is dedicated to building a “values map” that will accompany the entire year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I invite more families?
Yes. Each section can be opened to extended family, friends, or a parent-child group built around you. The content is also tailored to the composition of the participants and the group dynamics.
Do we have to go to all the sections?
No. The program is modular. Each trip stands on its own, and you can choose the scope of participation and the number of departures throughout the year.
What happens if the weather is not suitable?
The program is built with flexibility. If necessary, the location, date, or nature of the trip will be adjusted, while maintaining the sequence and process.
Is it also suitable for families without travel experience?
Absolutely. The difficulty levels are built together, and the guidance is tailored for families who travel a lot and also for those taking their first steps on the trail.
How long in advance do you need to commit?
It is recommended to start with an introductory conversation and define an annual framework together, but there is always room for adjustments as you go.
What should I bring?
Before every trip I send Recommended equipment list And arranged for a day trip. When it is a two-day trip, a detailed recommendation for accommodation and staying in the field is also sent. I have all the equipment necessary to build a full field camp, including kitchen equipment and logistics, and this must be taken into account in planning.
How do you armor?
Reservations are made with a down payment of 20%. After initial contact and coordination, we will choose the appropriate escort framework and departures together and reserve the dates in the calendar.
What is the cancellation policy?
I have a detailed cancellation policy, which you will receive in a neat document for us to sign before setting off.
But here I will briefly mention:
Cancellation up to 14 days before the trip date will result in a full refund of the payment.
Cancellation up to 7 days before the trip date will be charged a cancellation fee of 20%.
Cancellations less than 48 hours before the trip date will be charged in full.
In the event of cancellation due to force majeure or weather conditions that do not allow for a safe departure, an alternative date will be coordinated.
I would love to hear from you and offer an exact match.
