Join us January 19-22, 2026 as we stand united with Israel to bring hope, healing, and strength to communities rebuilding for the future. (Scroll down for more information).
From Advocacy to Action: Join Our January 2026 Solidarity and Rebuilding Mission to Israel.
As a community, we’ve raised our voices to free the hostages, walked to advocate that they be brought home, and mourned and prayed together at our community-wide October 7th commemoration. Now, with the living hostages finally home and in response to an overwhelming desire by our community, we are proud to announce a Solidarity and Rebuilding Mission to Israel.
This mission serves as a powerful follow-up to our February 2024 Solidarity Mission and will mark a significant moment in our ongoing commitment to our brothers and sisters in Israel. As the country begins its long journey of healing and rebuilding, our presence will be a testament to our unwavering support and partnership as we witness the incredible resilience of the Israeli people firsthand.
Join us as we stand united in support of the people of Israel. This mission is not just an opportunity; it is a call to action.
Together, in Israel, we will make a difference, fostering a spirit of solidarity that transcends borders and transforms lives.
