“Jewish Routes” Travel with Rabbi Elyse Goldstein
Rabbi Goldstein's tours to historic and often exotic locales are legendary for their fun, adventure, and relevance to Judaism. Her thoughtful and meticulous planning is always evident, and her concern for the welfare of the participants, both intellectually and physically, make these trips smooth and laid back. Our trip to Israel made us experience the country in a whole new way. And did I mention the fabulous food?!?!?

There is something magical about exploring your Jewish roots through a totally different lens—the lens of travel.
I have led over 16 tours to Israel, India, China, South Africa and Guatemala. I’ve led Women’s Spirituality trips, Culinary trips, Hidden Gems tours, Arts and Culture tours, and I’m already planning for Jewish Croatia 2026! Each of my tours is especially planned and organized to give you a depth and breadth of experience you would not get travelling on your own. You’ll meet fascinating local folk, eat the local cuisine and drink the local wine (tours are not kosher but are kosher-style when dining as a group—no pork or shellfish—but on your own, eat whatever you’d like!!) understand the local politics and lifestyles, see all the "must-see" sights and also get off the beaten path!
All my trips welcome singles and couples of any and all kind and non-Jews who want to see a place through this unique lens, or to share that with a Jewish loved one. All my groups feel cohesive and warm, friendly and accepting, adventurous and secure.
