"We dreamed of this trip for our children all of their lives and for a while there, we feared it wouldn't happen. But they, and 96 other kids from around Australia, are there on the journey of a lifetime thanks to UJEB and the generous philanthropists who want every Jewish child to have this experience no matter where they go to school or their financial situation."
