Federation, Desert Caucus to lead Israel trip

The Jewish Federation of Southern Arizona and the Desert Caucus will lead a “Focus on Israel” mission, Oct. 23 to Nov. 2, 2011.

The joint mission will offer an insider’s view of Israeli-U.S. politics “with extraordinary access to Israeli leaders and insiders from all sides of the political spectrum,” says Fern Feder, co-chair of the mission with Larry Gellman.

The estimated cost of the mission is $2,700 (land-only), which includes a $250 Federation subsidy. Mission participants must make a minimum $500 donation to the 2012 Federation Community Campaign. For more information, contact Marlyne Freedman at mfreedman@jfsa.org or 577-9393.
