"Birthright with Steve Eisenberg was the most unique and unforgettable experience I've had in my life to date. Despite touring a beautiful country, the deep spiritual and religious knowledge I gained will be with me forever". "Experiencing the most powerful moments of your life with someone who is so passionate, caring, supportive, generous, and considerate, with so much insight to offer on Judaism and the Jewish heritage. Steve has the amazing ability to incorporate all his incredible attributes in delivering an experience that is brought with so much knowledge and experience. The best trip of my life, brought to you by Steve Eisenberg. That is a promise." "Before leaving for Israel I had an image of how the country and the trip would be, however nothing could have prepared me for the amazing time I had. The rich cultural and religious connections I formed are beyond what can be explained in words." "Steve was not just my Birthright leader, he made Israel the trip of a life time-he taught me what it means to be a Jew'." "Around six months ago I started researching various trips to Israel because I was at a standstill in my life and felt like my soul was craving an existential jolt. I came across Recharge and applied, but after talking to Steve on the phone I truly felt a connection and like it was the one despite many other options. Following the application process, life obstacles arose and what I presumed determined I was not going to be able to participate in Steve Eisenberg’s Recharge trip. Faced with many adversities in my life as a single mom already, my child care options were limited to my mother who was worried about the length of time I would be gone as she cares for my sick grandmother. On top of that my manager decided she was not going to be able to give me the time off during the allotted dates of the trip. Needless to say, I wrote Steve an email apologizing that I would not be able to attend. Afterwards he immediately called me and offered his assistance in any way and told me he thought I was meant to go on this trip. As a believer in God already, I said aloud on the phone, “If it is meant for me to go on this trip God will make a way.” God made a way, but also Steve made a way hand in hand and I was able to go on this profoundly deep spiritual adventure in Israel. The Recharge trip did more than just rejuvenate my spirit towards Judaism and Israel, it will forever have an impact on my life and the future of my daughter’s life. The steps I am taking now since I have returned home to Oklahoma are proof of that testament. I have quit my job and am doing what I can to get myself and my daughter back to our homeland of Israel. I am forever indebted to Steve and the donors for providing the opportunity to experience Israel on a different level. Steve said it’s important to “Jew it forward” and I absolutely agree and pray that I will be able to return that action in the years to come." |
"I attended Steve Eisenberg's Israel ReCharge trip during the Summer of 2018. Having already been to Israel in 2011 it was a chance to get back to a land I had great connection with. Steve was able to put together an amazing group of 20 participants...all with varying backgrounds. In just over 10 days, we became more of a family than a group of strangers. “Steve not only educated us on Israel’s history and showed us amazing places; he allowed us to meet an array of truly amazing people embedded in the Jewish culture. To call this trip a ‘tour’ would be a disservice. This was a life changing experience.” "Steve Eisenberg's Israel Recharge 2018 trip was absolutely amazing. The schedule and activities were perfectly planned in order to enhance our attitude and appreciation towards Judaism, the Jewish people, and Israel. Our trip leaders were inspirational and always willing to sit down and talk. I learned so much from them, and all of our guest speakers. Spending one Shabbat in the old city of Tzfat and another in Jerusalem was a transcending experience. It was very spiritual and allowed us to connect with ourselves and our peers in the Holy Land. "Experiencing Birthright on Steve's trip was an amazing, unforgettable experience that continues to this day. While in Israel, I was aware of the great opportunity we were taking part in, but it was not until we were back that I realized the mark Steve left on our trip. I can't wait to go back to Israel this summer with him." |
