The Sephardic Educational Center (SEC) was created in 1980 as a center where all Jews could learn about authentic Sephardic Judaism. Since then, over 30,000 young adults from around the world have attended our exciting summer programs in our campus in the Old City of Jerusalem. Now, the SEC has partnered with Taglit-Birthright Israel and is the only Sephardic trip organizer.

We take pride in not only touring Israel, but experiencing Israel with a unique perspective. Our highly qualified staff of educators who reside in Jerusalem share their enthusiasm, passion and knowledge on topics including history, religion, politics and leadership training. Each participant returns enthused and motivated by this experience.
