Germany Close Up  

A most beloved program, Germany Close Up is back! A trip for young American Jews run by the German government with the goal to explore the country and experience German culture. This is an incredible opportunity to join Rabbi Jason Rodich on the journey of a lifetime! 

The program will focus on the following topics: 

• Berlin and united Germany 
• The Holocaust and the Nazi Era (incl. a visit to a former Concentration Camp) 
• Transatlantic/German-American relations (incl. a meeting with officials of the German Federal Foreign Office) 
• Current German Politics 
• Jewish Life in Berlin, past and present 
• German-Israeli relations 
• Visit to a city outside of Berlin 

Germany Close Up Policy:

• 20-25 participants in the program
