Greater MetroWest Women’s Mission to Israel

Date: Sunday, November 9 - Friday, November 14
Time: All Day

Reunite. Reconnect. Rebuild. 

Experience Israel through a specially curated Greater MetroWest Mission.  While touring, volunteering, dining, shopping, and bearing witness, you’ll feel it all—exhilaration and heartbreak, pride and hope.  

Highlights will include*:

  • Participate in hands-on volunteer activities and  meet with residents in Ofakim and Kibbutz Erez, two of Greater MetroWest’s partner communities, to learn about their experiences on October 7 and life today.
  • Tour Tel Aviv neighborhoods devastated by the recent War.
  • Bear witness at the Nova Music Festival site and Hostage Square in Tel Aviv.
  • Learn from our overseas organizational partners on the ground about the vital and challenging work they are doing around the clock.
  • Briefings with dignitaries, politicians, and journalists.
  • Private tour and dinner at the new National Library.
  • Experience the rich culture, diverse cuisine, and lively atmosphere of Israel.
