About the Israel Journey Program

Through FIDF’s Israel Journey program, IDF soldiers and commanders explore Israel’s rich sites, history and culture. Soldiers of all backgrounds embark on a six-day journey throughout Israel, each day focusing on a new layer of identity and a different region of the country. The journey allows soldiers to discover their roots, reflect upon the connections between themselves and society, and strengthen their understanding of Jewish traditions. The more they learn about Jewish and Israeli history, the more they understand – mentally, emotionally, profoundly – the critical nature of their mission.
