Passport to Israel is a savings incentive program that encourages families to start saving early for a child's educational Israel experience. The Jewish community believes that this type of experience is important for our youth.

The Jewish Federation of Central Massachusetts administers this community partnership with families and sponsoring congregations to make an Israel experience more affordable. Participating organizations help families enroll in Passport to Israel and make contributions.
