Dive Into Israel with Pride: LGBTQ Mission 2019

LGBTQ MISSION TO ISRAEL
June 6-13, 2019

As in America, the LGBTQ community in Israel is actively seeking equality and acceptance. Explore Israel through a unique LGBTQ lens at this historic moment in time. Experience Israel’s thriving, vibrant LGBTQ community against the complex cultural backdrop of the country. Witness the energy, tradition, and love as you travel with our Federation family.

Join us next summer, with mission co-chairs Lee Jason Goldberg of UJA-Federation of New York and Michael Bauer of the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago. You won’t want to miss this incredible journey.

Celebrate a spiritual and meaningful Shabbat in Jerusalem. Join the streams of visitors and Jerusalemites alike, who gather each week at the Western Wall to worship. Then, come together for a festive Shabbat dinner with Israeli A capella group Kippa Live.

Meet with Israeli leaders from the LGBTQ community and learn about the triumphs and tensions felt in Israel today.

Learn about the full breadth and diversity of LGBTQ activism in Israel through Federation partner A Wider Bridge, the organization building support for Israel and LGBTQ Israelis.

Gain a new connection to the Federation and tikkun olam (healing the world). Learn about the extraordinary work of the Federation, our partners, and the ripple effect your giving can set in motion — resulting in changing lives throughout Israel and around the world.

Choose your own adventure and see Tel Aviv your way. Learn how Israel has earned its name as the Start-Up Nation, meet with an Israeli artist at their gallery, or go on a walking tour of Tel Aviv to hear about one of the first modern Israeli cities.
