It was on that premise that AACI Continuing Education was initiated in 1986 and continues till today, marking 26 years of intensive, on-site Study Vacations, reaching out to all English speakers, veteran Olim who have been living in Israel for several decades, Olim Hadashim - more recent immigrants, and tourists.
Participants in the 4 day Study Vacations range in age from the 50’s through the 90’s. Continuing Education has run over one hundred Study Vacation programs over the years covering a wide range of topics, taking us to many different places throughout Israel – north, south, east, west and center. We have heard from expert lecturers and individuals who share personal experiences that are a part of the country’s history. We have visited new and unique sites that help increase our knowledge and broaden our understanding of the land and the different people who live here; Jews, Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, Circassians. We have also visited ancient historic places, nature reserves, museums, universities. Topics covered in the past included archaeology, ecology and the environment. We have learned about the political, social and economic issues and challenges, the arts, culture, and technological advances and discoveries.
Information about these programs is published in all the regional bulletins and in the AACI Electronic Newsletter (Click here to Subscribe to newsletter).
The study vacation program is open to all English-speakers, members of AACI, including tourists who are members.

 Jerusalem travelers will meet up with Study Vacation friends coming from the north, south and center of the country ready to take off for our “Dan Region” adventure.We will begin our trip with a visit to the “Shafdan” regional sewage treatment center to learn about this innovative project - helping to irrigate our crops and preserve our precious fresh water resources.
 After a lunch break we will continue our first day tour with a visit to the Rishon LeZion Museum and SynagogueFollowing that visit, we move on to Kibbutz Galon - check in, rest up before dinner followed by our AACI social evening.
The next three days will be spent roaming the region, stopping in Holon where we will meet with the Samaritans and learn about their culture and traditions. Once again, we’ll have a lunch break and then drop into the Cartoon Museum and the Puppetry Museum. Fun, fun, fun……
 On the agenda is a visit to Rehovot for a tour of the Tnuva Visitors Center, a stop at the Ayalon Institute, the Minkov Orchard Museum and the Weizmann Institute, including a visit to the home of the first President, and, time permitting, a walk around the Clore Garden of Science.
On our last day we will focus on Ramle where, after checking out of our rooms at Kibbutz Galon, we will visit the Karaim Center hear about their history, then take a drive through Ramle and stop at the “Arch Pool” (Brechat HaKeshatot) where you can hop into a rowboat and take a look around.
After a lunch stop, we will all head for home - probably tired, but better informed about this interesting and diverse region of Israel.
