While every Jewish mother’s journey is unique, The Momentum Journey of Growth is a guide to help reach each woman’s personal and communal potential in influencing the Jewish journey of her children, her family, and her community.
The Momentum Journey of Growth starts with The Momentum Israel trip, a profound seven-day immersive experience to the heart of Israel. This once-in-a-lifetime journey opens the soul to the spirit of unity that defines the Jewish homeland. Along with Momentum sisters from around the world and Israeli women and mothers, this special educational journey leads participants not only through Israel but also to a more meaningful Jewish identity. The Momentum Journey is the inspiration to connect to Jewish values, engage more deeply with Israel, and gain the confidence to take action by standing up and speaking out.
Before applying, please note:
The Momentum Journey of Growth is for Jewish mothers with children 18 and younger
