Experience Israel Mission 2026

with optional Jewish heritage tour of Rome

ISRAEL - May 31-June 8

Join Friends of JNF Canada for a transformational journey to Israel—an immersive mission that connects you with the land, the people, and the projects that bring Israel’s future to life. This unforgettable experience blends meaningful site visits, exclusive briefings, hands‑on engagement with Friends of JNF initiatives, and powerful moments that highlight the resilience and spirit of the Israeli people.

To ensure every participant can customize their ideal pace, the mission offers two unique tracks:

Active Track 

For travellers who want to make the most of every moment, the Active Track delivers full, energizing days from morning through evening. Explore more sites, meet more communities, and dive deep into Israel’s history, innovation, and natural beauty. This track is perfect for those who love to stay on the go.

Relaxed Track 

Prefer a slower rhythm? The Relaxed Track offers the same meaningful core experiences each morning, with built‑in free time every afternoon. Enjoy Israel at your own pace—whether that means strolling local markets, relaxing at the hotel, or discovering neighborhood cafés and boutiques. 

Whether you choose an active adventure or a more leisurely exploration, this mission promises connection, inspiration, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Experience Israel with purpose. Experience it with Friends of JNF Canada. 

Land-Only Cost: $4,950 USD based on double occupancy. Single supplement is $1,500 USD

For those arriving in Israel early (including those from Rome), we have arranged a pre-arrival package from May 29-31 at the Orient Hotel in Jerusalem for $750 USD (double occupancy) which includes Shabbat dinner at the hotel.

ROME - May 25-29

Begin your journey with an unforgettable Jewish Heritage Tour of Rome, where ancient history, cultural resilience, and breathtaking beauty come together in one remarkable city. This optional post‑mission experience invites you to trace the story of one of the world’s oldest continuous Jewish communities—rooted in Rome for more than two millennia.

Walk the cobblestone streets of the Roman Ghetto, explore the magnificent Great Synagogue of Rome, and uncover the rich traditions, triumphs, and challenges that have shaped Jewish life in the Eternal City. Expert guides will bring history to life as you visit iconic sites, from the Arch of Titus—etched with symbols of exile—to vibrant neighbourhoods where Jewish culture thrives today.

Enjoy meaningful learning, inspiring stories, outstanding cuisine, and ample time to soak in Rome’s timeless charm. 

A perfect blend of heritage, discovery, and connection—this is Rome as you’ve never experienced it before.

Rome Land-Only Cost:  $5,350 USD based on double occupancy.  Single supplement is $1,590 USD
