The project is creating a textbook about organizing Jewish educational trips. The book is intended for school principals, teachers, parents, and leaders of youth organizations. It will be developed by a team of three educational experts, who can draw upon their experience conducting educational trips. The book will include the following chapters: The special character of educational trips; choosing the subject for the trip; selecting participants; preparing for the trip; the trip itself; and assessing the results of the trip. The book will incorporate the applicant's experience conducting educational trips to Jewish sites in Eastern Europe; in Spain and Portugal; in Morocco; and in Istanbul.

The third team member is a specialist on the History of the State of Israel, with 10 years teaching experience; she lectures at Russian State University of Humanities and also manages academic projects for Russian Friends of the Hebrew University.
