The Passport to Israel program (aka the Susy Schwartz Memorial Scholarship Fund) is primarily sustained by an annual concert open to all, generally in the spring, that brings first rate Jewish entertainment to Neve Shalom.

Debbie Friedman | Safam |
Craig Taubman | Six13 |
Neshama Carlebach & Josh Nelson | Danny Maseng |
Shuli Natan | Kol B’Seder |
Joel Chasnoff | Catskill Klezmorim |
David Broza | Naomi Schemer |
Peri Smilow | Robyn Helzner Trio |
Paul Zim & Angela Oren | Doug Cotler |
Yaffa Yarkoni | Julie Silver |
Yoel Scharabi | Sam Glaser |
Noah Aronson | Rick Recht |
Kenny Ellis | Divas on the Bima |
Josh Warshawsky |
In March of 1990, Neve Shalom lost one of its most active and beloved members - Susanna (Susy) Schwartz. A cheerful bundle of creative energy, Susy injected warmth and vitality into all of her endeavors on behalf of the synagogue, but her chief passions in life were children, education, music and Israel. Her death brought an outpouring of contributions and the challenge that presented itself to the community was how to best memorialize Susy in a lasting and impactful way.
Thus was born the Neve Shalom “Passport to Israel” program, a gem in the congregation’s crown and one of the privileges of membership in our synagogue. Through this program, which is funded from the Annual Susy Schwartz Concert, each Neve Shalom Bar and Bat Mitzvah child receives a voucher for a stipend towards a trip to Israel that contains an educational component. The trip must be taken between ninth grade and the end of college.The fund initially provided a $500 stipend, which grew over the years until in 2015 the value was raised to $2,000 in recognition of the rising costs for available travel/study programs. High school students using the Passport are also eligible to receive additional funds from our local Jewish Federation. Approximately 150 of our students have redeemed their Passports! Returning students’ essays are regularly featured in the monthly Neve Shalom Bulletin and a student is selected each year to speak about his/her stipend-supported Israel experience at the concert.
