Nesiya (journey) is a two part Noam adventure where chanichim (participants) will travel to the beautiful European cities of Prague, Budapest and Krakow; before exploring thenext stage of their Jewish journey in Brighton.

Nesiya gives participants the opportunity to discover their Jewish identity in a unique way. This once in a lifetime trip explores themes of global citizenship, European Jewish history, and Zionism.

We are striving to engage, enthuse and educate our participants, enabling them to develop a personal connection to the global Jewish community and their own Jewish identity.

Through Noam we aim to build a vibrant young Jewish community that is actively involved in the issues of wider society. Join us for a unique, social Jewish journey!

In Europe, Nesiya will trace the story of Zionism in the diaspora, connecting with the rich and vibrant history of European culture and Jewry. Amidst sightseeing and exploring the cities, we will visit waterparks and hike through stunning countrysides.

Nesiya will begin in stunning Prague, home to a rich cultural heritage and a vibrant modern city full of iconic sites like the Prague Castle and Jewish Quarter. Next stop will be Budapest with its thermal baths, caves and beautiful castle district. And finally, Nesiya will end in Krakow, full of quaint streets and natural beauty. Water parks and hikes await!

Brighton has been a famous home for diversity and alternative thinking, all while being architecturally beautiful, historic, colourful and fun. With an emerging grassroots Masorti community as well as a deep beautiful Jewish heritage, it feels like a perfect continuation of the themes we will explore in Europe of the rebuilding of Jewish communities.

Our tochnit (schedule) will include local sightseeing, beach trips, water activities and group bonding. It is a unique opportunity for a laidback, intimate Noam trip, and the perfect transition into the next step of their Jewish journeys.
