Golda Och Academy Brings Innovative Family Inclusion Trip to Israel to the Community

WEST ORANGE, NJ - Golda Och Academy has announced that it is partnering with MetroWest ABLE and the Legow Family Israel Program Center to offer a Family Inclusion Trip to Israel that is open to the community. The 10-day trip, which is planned for December 22, 2014 – January 2, 2015, will make an Israel trip accessible to all family members.

Michelle Resnick, a learning specialist at Golda Och Academy’s Upper School, has been dreaming of this trip for years. Resnick has two children, Sarah and David. For her daughter Sarah, participating in community Israel programming was simple—she had her choice of Israel trips and she integrated easily. But for her son David who is on the autism spectrum, it was nearly impossible for Resnick to find a guided trip to Israel that would accommodate his needs.

“It was so painful for me to not be able to share my love of Israel with both of my children. Now my son can become a bar mitzvah at the Western Wall,” Resnick said.
