Solidarity Missions to Israel
Experiencing Israel the ‘UIA way’ on an Israel Mission provides you with opportunities that you wouldn't be able to have when travelling to Israel alone. And right now, post October 7, visiting Israel and standing in solidarity with the People of Israel has never been more significant, more important or more impactful.
UIA Missions give you a first-hand look at Israel in an unprecedented way with unique insights into its complex political and security situation, visits to historical and cultural sites as well as innovative new businesses. Meet with the people on the ground helping us rebuild and rehabilitate Israel's most vulnerable communities, and visit sites to learn about and pay respects to the victims of the October 7 atrocities.
Led by professional tour guides, our extensive program immerses you in the beauty of Israel, walks you through our rich history and introduces you to expert speakers who you would not ordinarily have access to.
You will also have the opportunity to visit the projects that UIA directly supports, meet with our beneficiaries and see how your support has changed their lives for the better.
Highlights of UIA Missions Include
- First-class accommodation, tour guides, transport and all meals.
- Discussions with prominent Israelis representing a range of opinions including parliamentarians, journalists and high-ranking military and security advisors.
- Tours of historical and cultural sites, including commemorative sites of the October 7 attacks (subject to security considerations).
- Visits to UIA projects such as Net@ and Youth Futures, where participants can gain an understanding of the significant impact funds raised in Australia provide for our beneficiaries.
UIA’s Israel Missions are the ideal group trips to capture unique memories, stand with the People of Israel and unite with our extended Jewish family from around the world.
Hear from our Mission Participants
"I had no idea what to expect but this trip surpassed all expectations. From the education, inspiring talks & the ability to see Israel so thoroughly from the INSIDE. For me it has been a life changing experience."
- Brenda, NSW, Yom Ha'atzmaut Mission 2024
"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 have the responsibility of rebuilding it. I’ve also gained more knowledge of just how much UIA does for The People of Israel and I give thanks to Yair, Gily, Judy and Assaf for taking us on such a brilliant, heart-rendering, joyful and tearful journey."
