IsraeLinks: A Life-Changing Mix of Touring and Torah

Ari Breslauer, a native of Bronx, N.Y., left Hebrew school at the age of 8 and never had a bar mitzvah. But he eventually made his way back to Jewish education. In fact, he just spent two weeks this summer touring Israel, exploring Jewish texts and discussing life’s issues with rabbis and their wives, along with nearly 40 college students and recent graduates from all over the world selected to participate in IsraeLinks, a project of Chabad on Campus International.
