Shalom and Mazal Tov! 

Thanks for considering Scopia LLC for your child's Bat Mitzvah/Bar Mitzvah celebration in Israel. For quite a few years now, I have specialized in private and group family journeys to Israel. It will be an honor and a pleasure to assist you with the planning and implementation of such an important experience.

As you begin thinking of celebrating your child's Bat Mitzvah or Bar Mitzvah in Israel, you probably have a million questions running through your mind. I am here to answer them all.

Top 10 reasons to use Scopia LLC for your Bat/Bar Mitzvah tour and celebration in Israel

1. I am originally from Israel (Kibbutznik) and know it down to the small details. If not, I'll find the answer!
2. Four decades in the travel industry provide a deep understanding of how and why people travel. Every family, every traveler, is different. That's why 90% of my job is to simply listen, learn and implement.
3. Itineraries can be as close to - or as far from - the beaten path of tourism. Aside from the basic "must see" sites, I specialize in unique, almost-unknown experiences tailored to your family's interests.
4. Multi-generational family tours are my expertise - Grandparents, parents and kids of all ages - everyone needs at least one thing to look forward to every day.
5. The guide is one of the most important factors of a tour. Every guide has specialties not just in terms of fields of expertise, but also in how she or he works in different family settings. Guides are therefore carefully selected to best match the family or group.
6. Lots of experience handling large, complex family/group trips (i.e. different arrival/departure dates). 
7. Most hotels in Israel are independent or part of a small, local chain. I can help you pick the hotels best matching your budget and preferences. 
8. Special requests are no problem. Whatever it might be, special requests for your tour can be accommodated either for payment or for free. It never hurts to ask.
9. All services in one place: Flights, hotels, transportation, touring, meals, Bat/Bar Mitzvah ceremony (including Rabbi, venue and photographer), travel insurance, etc.
10. All services are tailored to your preferences, budget and interests.

4. We will begin working and collaborating on a full itinerary and quote. It's a back-and-forth process that takes some time until everyone is happy with the itinerary, services and prices.
5. When you're ready to move forward, all quoted services will be confirmed and an initial, non-refundable deposit of $250 per person will be requested. Other deposits may be requested by certain suppliers.
6. After payment of initial deposit(s) and confirmation of services, changes can be made to the program.
7. The earnest fee and initial deposit(s) are reduced from your final payment, which is normally due 45-60 days prior to departure and is payable by check or ACH transfer only.
