Travel with NSCI

Israel Solidarity Mission

UPDATED TRIP DATES: Sunday, March 2nd – Friday, March 7th, 2024

Registration deadline: January 15th, 2025

Join Rabbi Wendi Geffen for a solidarity mission to Israel. Along with partners at BJBE and Chicago Sinai Congregation, and led by our friend and expert educator Mike Hollander, we will engage in acts of service, pay our respects at memorial sites, and learn about Israeli resilience during this challenging time. Trip highlights include visits to Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, the Nova Festival memorial, and Magen David Adom headquarters, as well as hearing stories of resilience from members of Kibbutz Re’im, an Israeli Bedouin activist, and members of Brothers and Sisters in Arms, leaders of the 2023 protest movement. This mission is a special opportunity to share our empathy and find strength in solidarity.

Please note that this trip is only open to NSCI and BJBE congregants. Participants are strongly encouraged to purchase fully refundable air tickets or travel insurance, as there is always the chance the trip will be canceled. It is also highly recommended that tickets be bought on El Al, as other airlines frequently cancel their flights. Should the trip be canceled, all deposits and payments are fully refundable.
