Solidarity Journey to Israel – Registration Closed

Registration Is Now Full

For 737 days, Israelis and Jews around the world lived with uncertainty and grief as hostages were held in captivity, leaving empty chairs at family tables and fractures in our hearts.

Today, we give thanks for moments of reunion, remember those who were lost, and stand in unwavering solidarity with the families and people of Israel.

We are grateful for the overwhelming response from our community. Registration for this journey is now full, reflecting a shared commitment to showing up, bearing witness, and standing with Israel as she continues to heal and rebuild.
