Momentum Journey of Growth
While every Jewish mother’s journey is unique, The Momentum Journey of Growth is a guide to help reach each woman’s personal and communal potential in influencing the Jewish journey of her children, her family, and her community.
The Momentum Journey of Growth starts with The Momentum Israel trip, a profound seven-day immersive experience to the heart of Israel. This once-in-a-lifetime journey opens the soul to the spirit of unity that defines the Jewish homeland. Along with Momentum sisters from around the world and Israeli women and mothers, this special educational journey leads participants not only through Israel but also to a more meaningful Jewish identity. The Momentum Journey is the inspiration to connect to Jewish values, engage more deeply with Israel, and gain the confidence to take action by standing up and speaking out.

What does the trip cost?
For our participants, this is a heavily subsidized trip. Each participant on our women’s trip receives a scholarship –
25% provided by your Partner Organization, and Momentum raises the remaining 75% with Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism and the Momentum Scholarship, funded through donations and contributions
The participant pays her airfare, a $360-nonrefundable registration fee, and a $500 refundable deposit.
Can I come on a different date with a different city?
The short answer is “No.” A vital part of the Momentum experience is creating community at home, with participants in your city, and each Partner Organization invests in each of its participants to make this happen. Through December 2024, you can apply as an individual as a mission participant for a fee plus airfare.
What if I have already been to Israel?
We give priority to applicants who have never been to Israel, or who visited before they turned 18, but many of our participants have visited Israel in the past. Apply and speak to your Community Leader for more details.
