Security Update- sun 15 june

FZY and UJIA Israel Experience continue to closely monitor the situation in Israel and send our thoughts and prayers to all those currently in Israel. We hope for a safe and speedy resolution to this conflict. We continue to be in close communication with our security partners on the ground in Israel.

We are working around the clock with security partners, Tour Providers and El Al to explore all options for programming this summer and thank you for your support and patience during what we know will be a challenging time for you and your children. The safety and security of participants will always be central to any decisions we make, and we continue to do our utmost to protect funds and then recover as much as possible for you in the event of cancellation.

The immediate priority for UJIA Israel Experience over the next few days is to assess the viability of groups travelling to Israel from 30th June – 2nd July. FZY’s groups are travelling a week or so after this time and are in the second tranche of UJIA Israel Experience youth movement trips to Israel this summer. As such and given the additional time before the groups are due to depart, it provides us with a little more time to consult with our security partners, monitor the situation and make any decisions. We will be in touch to update you of any changes or decisions as they are made.  We thank you for your patience in this regard, and please bear with us as we work on the best solutions for each group.

FZY, UJIA Israel Experience together with the Jewish Agency for Israel, other participating youth movements, and ground providers in Israel, have extensive experience in operating in ever changing scenarios on a range of Israel programming and experiences. We will do our utmost to adapt to any situation that presents itself in the coming weeks.

We continue to work towards safe, secure and meaningful Israel Experiences for summer 2025 and will keep you informed should this change.
