I have an additional narrative in my head which I didn't have prior--that is why I knew it was necessary for me as a communal leader.

The trip forever colors your understanding of the security of Israel… It deepens your knowledge and exposure no matter how much you've read.

Director of Heritage Alumni, Wexner Foundation
I appreciated the opportunity to deepen my understanding of the conflict without being told what I should think or what I should do about it. Instead, I was given a diverse community of colleagues with whom I could debrief and figure out for myself how to incorporate what I had encountered into my leadership.

Director, School of Education, Jewish Institute of Religion, Hebrew Union College
This is an intense trip that quickly immerses you in narratives of Palestinians that are mostly hidden to Jews living in Israel. You will have access to unvarnished insights that will deepen your understanding of the Palestinian narrative and broaden your understanding of the conflict. You will have the chance to ask hard questions and to struggle deeply with colleagues about the challenges you witness. All of this in a deeply supportive environment.

It is a duty to listen to all the stories if you wish to have a properly functioning moral compass.
