LEGISLATORS’ STUDY TRIP TO ISRAEL

Each year, JPAC member communities sponsor California state legislators’ travel to Israel for a 9-day study trip. Experiencing Israel, most for the first time, it is a unique educational opportunity to learn first-hand about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Middle East region. Legislators visit various historical sites and meet with their counterparts in the Israeli government to discuss shared challenges and best practices and to learn about Israeli homeland security and bioterrorism, environmental practices, multiculturalism in education, and the political system, amongst other issues.
