With deep encounter of El Salvador as the backdrop, we'll guide you both in the exploration of the particular places and communities of El Salvador we'll visit, as well as through your own exploration of personal and ancestral lineage, rootedness, and connection. You'll learn and experience a deep taste of what makes El Salvador amazing — and you'll also reveal and deepen the beauty of your own identities and lineage in all the ways that those inform and intersect with your Jewishness.

Along the way, we'll build community with our fellow sojourners as a micro-reflection of the many Jewish communities we're a part of building and sustaining back home, wherever home may be.
