Travel to Israel builds strong relationships with our homeland. MERCAZ-Canada is committed to encouraging young people to experience Israel through Conservative Movement sponsored programs. To this end, MERCAZ-Canada has a long-standing tradition of helping high school students and young adults from across Canada to experience Israel through trips under the auspices of the Conservative Movement.
