Oranim Educational Initiatives, Ltd.

Founded in 1986 as a travel company geared toward the young Jewish traveler, Oranim Educational Initiatives is Israel's premiere educational tourism provider. Our broad menu of programs in Israel and abroad focuses on a Jewish audience but involves a diversity of populations including Christian tourism. We are proud to offer tourism packages for individuals, synagogues, schools, teens, family trips, eCamp Hi-Tech Summer Camp and Exclusive Travel Design. Oranim has developed unique travel curricula based on the communality of the Jewish people, and we encourage travel to Israel as part of life-long learning concerning the history and heritage of the Jewish People. Some of our groups also travel to Europe in order to trace the roots of Jewish and Israeli history, and to mark the contributions made by Jews to various cities across the globe. In 2011, Oranim Educational Initiatives was acquired by Egged Tours, a subsidiary of Egged Cooperative, the leading public transportation operator in Israel and one of the largest public transportation companies in the world. With this acquisition comes a force of new leadership; Avraham Infeld joined the company as President and Dani Mor as Director General. This new leadership combined with Oranim's powerhouse of innovation and out-of-the-box thinking and the Egged Tours' brand name will be a match made in heaven for Israel travel!
