ARE is correct.

"is" is used for singular subjects. eg, she is going to America. Rifka is on her way to America.

"are" is used for compound subjects. eg, Rifka and her family are on their way to America (Rifka and family are the compound subjects). they are going to America (they is a plural subject).
