Bar & Bat Mitzvah Zoom Preparations.
Join Us on An Inspiring Journey to Prepare You for One of The Most Significant Milestones of Your Life!
Who are we?
The Western Wall Heritage Foundation offers an educational tour that chronicles the historical journey of the Jewish people. This experience will deepen the bond that Jews around the world have for the Western Wall and Israel, their national homeland.
The Shahak program is named after Amnon Lipkin Shahak, a military officer and Israeli politician. Amnon devoted his life to reuniting the Jewish Nation regardless of the many traditions within Judaism. He believed that only through social responsibility and unity can we exist as a Jewish nation. We are proud to continue Amnon’s ideals by offering this program for all Jews who visit the Western Wall.
