On a powerful Immigration Justice Trip, 8th & 9th grade Jewish teens from Temple Judea and across Los Angeles will travel to Phoenix and Nogales, Arizona. Students will meet with organizations and people directly addressing migration issues and who enforce the flow of migrants from Mexico to the United States. They’ll learn from seasoned educators, be chaperoned by Temple Judea staff, and bond with teens from Judea and from other local synagogues. This transformative and inspirational experience runs from Friday, February 13 to Monday, February 16, 2026. Scholarships are available.
This trip was so impactful because it made me think about how everyone tells different stories about the same thing. It added a completely different perspective that I couldn’t have learned in a classroom. -Past Participant
