Missions to Israel

Experience Israel the UIA Way

For many in our community, the connection to Israel is visceral. It’s not about politics or religion. It’s about people. And there is no better way to connect with Israel and its people than to stand on the ground and see it for yourself.

UIA Missions take you straight into the heart of the story. You’ll experience the complexity of modern Israel alongside the pride, resilience and innovation that defines it. Whether it’s your first time or your fifteenth, this journey will feel different. Powerful. Personal. Unforgettable.

What’s Included

  • First-class accommodation, all meals, luxury transport and licensed professional guides
  • Access to government leaders, mayors, security experts, tech founders and thought leaders
  • Site visits to communities affected by October 7 and conversations with survivors and families of hostages
  • Shared meals with lone soldiers, with evacuees, Holocaust survivors and Israeli youth
  • Tours of UIA-supported programs such as Youth Futures, Net@, Amigour and Communities2Gether
  • Cultural and historical experiences including Tel Aviv nightlife, the Kotel, the shuk, and Safed
  • An unforgettable Shabbat experience, including Kabbalat Shabbat at the Kotel

Newly added to the mission:

This year’s mission is designed for depth, emotion and clarity post October 7.

  • Stand at the Nova site surrounded by stories and tributes
  • Step into a virtual October 7 simulation
  • Explore new frontline projects, including trauma recovery initiatives
  • Witness how your support is rebuilding shattered communities
  • Visit new strategic partnerships supporting the next generation of Israelis
  • Hear directly from IDF reservists and young social entrepreneurs shaping Israel’s future

It’s not a tourist itinerary. It’s a mission for every sense. And once you book, UIA takes care of everything. All you need to do is arrive.

Reflections from Past Participants

I had no idea what to expect but this trip surpassed all expectations. From the education, inspiring talks and the ability to see Israel so thoroughly from the inside. For me, it has been a life-changing experience.

I’ve learned so much about this wonderful country these past two weeks, and even more about its beautiful people – especially the resilient young who will rebuild it. I give thanks to UIA for taking us on such a brilliant, heart-rendering, joyful and tearful journey.

WA, Yom Ha’atzmaut Mission 2024

In a world increasingly defined by digital interactions, there’s something profoundly grounding about experiencing a place firsthand. These journeys go beyond sightseeing. They connect you to the heart of Israel’s communities, innovation and resilience.

Time and time again I came across beautiful, compassionate people. The Mission is priceless. I feel so privileged and grateful to have taken part.
