Centennial Mission to Israel 2023

Centennial Mission to Israel 2023

July 2-10, 2023

What an incredible week it was! Five hundred people – representing all aspects of our diverse community – sharing a journey of learning, of discovery, or connecting in profoundly meaningful ways. For nearly 300 participants it was their first time on a Federation mission, and for more than 120 it was their first time in Israel, while for others it was one of many trips but no less inspiring. After years of planning and preparation, our Federation’s Centennial Mission – celebrating our 100th birthday and Israel’s 75th is now complete, but the memories will surely last a lifetime.
