the life you’ve earned. An Experience of a Lifetime: Buffalonians in the UAE

Twenty-three Jewish Buffalonians participated in a unique travel experience this past February in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Organized by Federation professionals Rob Goldberg and Randi Morkisz, and led by a local Emirate guide, the group visited holy sites, ascended to the top of one of the tallest buildings in the world, enjoyed fine kosher dining and engaged with members of the Jewish community in one of the four Arab countries that are part of the recent Abraham Accords. Check out a few of these lasting memories from what many felt was an experience of a lifetime!
