Iceland: Jewish life in the gleaming fjords

11 – 15 January 2026

Journey to the home of Europe's northernmost Jewish community

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime trip to the land where rabbis say blessings over volcanoes, hot springs are used for mikvahs and Shabbat sometimes starts after midnight. Learn about the wartime émigrés who created Iceland’s classical music scene, meet members of the current Jewish community, soak in the Blue Lagoon, see geysers in the Golden Circle, and take a cruise to view the Northern Lights. Price will include a comfortable, well-situated hotel, private coach transfers and meals based on local delicacies (vegetarian and pescatarian).
