The Golan, the Galil, the Negev, Eilat, the Dead Sea, and the Judean Mountains are just some of the major regions in Israel that Machon Maayan experiences on several four-day long Tiyulim adventures.

Tiyulim with Machon Maayan allow students to walk in the paths of our forefathers, kings of Israel, and pioneers of today's Israel. With our own attention-grabbing, professional tour guide, Rabbi Goldfischer, Machon Maayan travels all over the country to ponder, explore, and become one with the roots of the Jewish people. In the classroom, we learn about battles fought, places of refuge, and current political hot spots, and then, we go out to the Land and take a first hand account of these scenes. We learn Israel, live Israel, and breathe Israel through our Tiyulim. We hear Hashem's voice commanding Avraham to survey the land first hand, and we, in turn, do the same. The Jewish people have a deep history embedded in the roots of the Land of Israel, and with Machon Maayan, we uncover the past and contemplate the future.

Hiking during the Tiyulim was one of the most challenging parts for me. I was never a great hiker and I was always at the back of the group, but I was never told to give up. Everyone always cheered me and supported me until I reached the end. That is what is so great about the Machon Maayan family!
