'This is a transformative opportunity for you... so get on that plane!'
2025 Spring Mission to Israel
Led by Rabbis Ammi Hirsch and Samantha Natov
Co-Chaired by Dorrie Rosenstein and Arthur Stein
MISSION: MAY 4–8, 2025
Join Rabbis Ammiel Hirsch and Samantha Natov and your fellow Stephen Wise members on a transformative journey through Israel!
During this meaningful five-day mission, we’ll:*- Visit residents near Israel’s borders and experience the return to daily life along Israel’s northern border with Lebanon
- Engage with leading thinkers on Israel-diaspora relations and Israel’s security situation, and hear their hopes for the future.
- Bear witness to the aftermath of October 7 on the Gaza border and meet with survivors
- And much more!
