Community
Sometimes there's no better way to meet your neighbors than on an
adventure abroad. Community missions enable people from a particular community,
organization, or synagogue to travel and explore the Jewish world together.
These journeys are an opportunity to meet new friends from your own community,
explore and gain an understanding of the dynamics of Jewish communities
worldwide, and return with a knowledge about what you – both as an individual
and a community – can do to improve other people's lives.
Women's Groups
Women's missions are a great way for women to travel and
explore issues unique to them. These journeys enable participants to see how
their counterparts in Israel, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union and other
Jewish communities live. On a Women's Leadership mission, you'll see firsthand
how UJC MetroWest helps Jewish women and their families worldwide, and learn
what can be done to continue the progress that's already been made. And, of
course, you'll enjoy the major sights and develop a sense of camaraderie with
other women from your group.
Young Professionals
Our Young Leadership and singles missions for men and
women are unparalleled in scope and opportunity. We offer trips to Israel and
beyond, including the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. These fun-filled
adventures are designed to give you an opportunity to explore your family
history, learn more about your Jewish roots, make new friends, and meet the
people and dignitaries of the country you're visiting. You'll have the
opportunity to see the major attractions, see UJC MetroWest programs in action
abroad, visit world-renowned museums, and explore local nightlife with new
friends.
Business & Professional
Groups
Professional and Business group
missions enable people from a particular profession to travel together to see
Israel, Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, and other Jewish communities.
These adventures enable professionals to see the essential work being performed
by UJC MetroWest-sponsored organizations, and to get a firsthand perspective of
the communities and countries visited. They also provide professionals with the
chance to meet their industry peers and to see how their professions and related
businesses function overseas.
Family
These trips are specially designed to introduce teens and
children over 5 to Israel and to offer a meaningful and rewarding family
vacation. Together, you and your family can hike in the Golan Heights, climb the
fortress of Masada, take a jeep ride through the desert, float in the Dead Sea,
explore the streets of Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, and explore your Jewish roots.
Another facet of our family adventures is our bar/bat mitzvah program, which
enables adolescents to celebrate this milestone in meaningful ways in such
historic locations as Masada and the Western Wall.
