Sample Itinerary
Day 1
Learning and Growth
Greeted by Israeli flags and welcome signs, find yourself among Jewish women from all over the world. The trip begins with an introduction to Momentum and an opportunity to network with new sisters. The night ends with delicious food, a glass of wine, and lively dancing that sparks friendships for life. The trip begins on a high note
Day 2
Courage
What has courage meant to our people – and what might it mean to each one of us? Explore these questions, reflecting on Israel’s contributions to the Jewish people and the world. A modern city built on timeless values, Tel Aviv shows Momentum sisters what it means to boldly step out of one’s comfort zone to help others and inspires them to make a difference, too.
Day 3
Peace & Wholeness in the Home
Family relationships can provide a living laboratory for growth. While exploring the mystical city of Tzfat, consider how you can create stronger relationships and grow closer to your loved ones. An emotional day is followed by a joyous night, as the women celebrate their sisterhood through dance, wine and food against the Kinneret waves.
Day 4
Faithfulness & Trust
Jerusalem welcomes you with golden stones, rich history, and open arms. Our sisters learn about tragedy and loss, and turn to spirituality for guidance, understanding that a relationship with God can anchor us in every aspect of our lives and drive us toward our future. With prayers for our people, our families, and ourselves, we feel so many emotions at once, including hope. Our people’s hearts have been broken many times, but we have also been rebuilt and are stronger than ever before.
Day 5
Generosity
Shabbat in Jerusalem is a breath of fresh air – a time to relax, introspect, and connect with ourselves and those around us. A local Jerusalem family welcomes the women into their home and lives, sharing their food, their stories and their hearts. Their hospitality reminds them that acts of kindness and giving uphold our world.
Day 6
Human Dignity
Each person is made in God’s image, infinitely valuable, and deserving of dignity. As we visit Yad Vashem, Israel’s national memorial to the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, we remember the horrific tragedy that our people suffered and the dignity the victims revealed as they cared for each other and we visit with Israeli soldiers and understand their commitment to the Jewish people the dignity of every Jew.
Day 7
Unity and Mutual Responsibility
Today, we imagine the legacy we want to leave to our children and grandchildren. We visit the Museum of Tolerance and consider how we are all interconnected and responsible for one another, and we join the Momentum Celebration with 600 of our sisters, marking our connection to each other and to Jewish values
Day 8
Gratitude
Our sisters’ last day together! The journey was inspiring and empowering – and it has only just begun! With their hearts full of gratitude for their many blessings, our Momentum Grand sisters are ready to channel their growth and inspiration in ways that impact themselves, their families, and their communities.
