For doctors who fancy a busman’s holiday: Does your idea of a
good time involve lunch with the Health Minister and cutting-edge
research labs? This February, North American Jewish doctors can
join an international team of colleagues on the Doctors for Israel
Tour, one of a number of special-interest travel missions sponsored
by the Jewish National Fund. Most participants are middle-aged
and older, said Talia Aviani, JNF’s missions manager, though many
are still working.

The Americans meet with top Israeli doctors and researchers,
learning about the achievements and challenges of a world-renowned
medical culture. The group visits facilities around the country —
august institutions as well as small border hospitals — and meets
with patients at a military rehabilitation center. Price: $2,595 per
person (based on double occupancy, without airfare). Another med-
ical mission is scheduled for December 2016.

I want to volunteer, but I’m not an M.D. Joining the morning com-
muters on the city bus, exchanging greetings in the elevator, dis-
cussing the day’s challenges over lunch with colleagues: There is no
better way to understand a country than to work alongside its res-
idents. For visitors who prefer meaningful service to sybaritic va-
cations, Skilled Volunteers for Israel is an organization that matches
North American adults and retirees with nonprofits in critical need
of their skills — everything from editing and early childhood edu-
cation to graphic design and legal research.

Apply for individual placement or join an upcoming group mis-
sion, Go Israel Volunteer: Tel Aviv, from February 15 - March 5,
2016. Go Israel Volunteer costs $1,650, including orientation, trans-
portation, activities, meals, and a lecture series; airfare and accom-
modations are extra. However you volunteer, you’ll pay rather than
get paid — but constructive engagement is its own reward.

Already worked your way through the Zahav cookbook? The
weeklong Culinary, Wine and Music Tour, another JNF mission,
might be the perfect next chapter. Ideal for aesthetes, gourmands
and those who have already seen Israel’s major sights, this June route
takes in up-and-coming wineries, the jazz clubs of Tel Aviv, and the
spice markets of Jerusalem. A typical day might involve a workshop
on the evolution of Israeli cuisine with a top chef and cookbook au-
thor; a guided nature walk through biblical forests, followed by a
meal prepared with locally sourced ingredients; and an ice cream-
making event and discussion of Israeli diversity at a jointly owned
