The National Mission will offer an inspiring, fun-filled, educational, and immersive experience in Israel, connecting you to the land and people of Israel and deepening your understanding of the different populations and cultures that contribute to Israel’s diverse society.

The experience will take you off the beaten track, introducing you to individuals and communities that you’d never get to know otherwise. Hear firsthand about their history and customs, achievements, and struggles, and how their personal story interfaces with the national story still being written.

As a Mission participant, you’ll do it all. Treat your tastebuds to a wide range of Israeli cuisine, get your feet tapping to
Israeli music, interact with Israeli locals, and even pick up some Israeli phrases and the latest slang.

Nope. You can travel with a cohort of friends and leaders from your community, solo, with family members, or as a pair – whatever suits you best. (Tip of the Day: The National Mission is also a great opportunity to meet with other Federation leaders, build meaningful connections, make new friends, and strengthen your bond with the North American Jewish community.)

Absolutely. On the National Mission, you’ll spend time with Federation partners and experience firsthand the impact of
projects by other Federation-supported organizations. You’ll gain an on-the-ground understanding of the vital work we do
in Israel and the importance of your support.

The mission will include meaningful encounters with the multiple faces and expressions of Judaism – plus a very special Shabbat experience together in Tel Aviv!

Great –that‘s exactly the plan! The National Mission will flow into the General Assembly experience (North America’s premier Jewish leadership conference), where you’ll join with hundreds of Federation peers and leaders to set our communal agenda for the year ahead.
