Rabbi Adam Starr hopes for a “spiritual boost” from his July trip to Israel.
Atlanta’s Rabbi Adam Starr is one of a couple dozen religious Zionist leaders from around the country participating in a mission to support Israel, one of the first such communal leadership trips since the COVID pandemic struck both countries.
Starr said that he hasn’t been to Israel since 2019, despite the fact that his two brothers and his in-laws live there. “It’s easier to get in the country with a mission or group,” he acknowledged days before leaving on his early-July flight. “They’re taking care of the technicalities,” he noted, referring to the Religious Zionists of America-Mizrachi organization. Starr is the spiritual leader of Congregation Ohr HaTorah, formerly Young Israel of Toco Hills.
