The Baltimore Zionist District shares Arielle Messafi’s comment that every Jew has an obligation to go to Israel (“Israel65. Celebrate!, iNSIDER, May 17). For over 30 summers, at the forefront of BZD’s mission is its Ultimate Summer Israel Experience for Jewish high school teens. We are thrilled Arielle has chosen to experience Israel this summer with BZD. She will be one of 39 participants. BZD believes it is crucial [for students] during their high school years to create a strong bond with Israel, its people and the land as they will be our future leaders and advocates for Israel on their college campuses and in our community.
BZD’s invests in every teen, as we heavily subsidize more than 50 percent off the cost of every participant’s trip. Register for summer 2014 and be guaranteed 2013 prices!
