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
It offered me a way to stretch myself and face uncomfortable realities in a way that I often (whether consciously or not) tend to avoid doing. Specifically, it reinforced the urgency and centrality of the conflict within the array of issues, causes, and experiences through I which I relate to the State of Israel. At the same time, it connected me to an incredible network of passionate Jewish leaders who now share the same powerful and unsettling experience.

It's essential for Jewish leaders.
Rabbi Sharon Brous
Senior/Founding Rabbi, IKAR
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.

Rabbi, Bnai Keshet, New Jersey
It's a powerful and necessary experience.
