The Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago offers a number of exciting opportunities for mission trips to Israel. It makes these trips available through local congregations, in collaboration with the Jewish Federations of North America, or as experiences open to anyone in the Chicago community. While community missions focus primarily on Israel, trips to other countries are also available.
One trip, arranged through the organization’s Young Leadership Division, takes a diverse group of Chicagoans to Israel to interact with Israeli professionals between the ages of 22 and 45. The mission allows individuals to experience Israel while making important business connections and growing a professional network.
Chalutzim, an adult mission, allows older members of the community to experience Israel for the first time or reacquaint themselves with the country’s beauty. Another mission, Nachshon, is geared toward men. This mission allows participants to explore some of the harsher realities of Israeli life and meet with government officials and policymakers.
