Derech Hateva’s mission is to offer Jewish teens and adults the opportunity to experience the wonder and excitement of the outdoors, and to facilitate meaningful adventures for exploring and engaging with the people and Land of Israel. Derech Hateva was founded in 2002 by Yael Ukeles as a sister program to the US-based Teva Adventure. From 2005 to 2008, Derech Hateva was affiliated with the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel (SPNI).
