Jewish National Fund (JNF) is hosting its Queen of Sheba Mission, the only trip available that brings American and Israeli women together, will depart for Israel for seven days on March 15, 2015.

JNF missions are known to inspire and connect participants with the land and her people. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is a unique and unforgettable trip to Israel for women only—no husbands, no boyfriends—just women, experiencing life as their Israeli sisters do.

Mission co-chairwoman Vivian Grossman of Weston, Florida, remarked, “The bonds you’ll make, the depth of learning you’ll gain, the great fun you’ll have; these shared experiences make this mission so special and unique. I’ve been to Israel many times, but no other trip touches your heart, soul and mind like this one.” 

Participants on the Queen of Sheba Mission will meet a diverse group of Israeli women including a Bedouin entrepreneur, a bereaved mother, IDF soldiers, a top Israeli chef, a wine expert, students, artists and more; travel north along the scenic coastal route, and visit the vibrant city of Tel Aviv, experience Jerusalem’s multi-layered history come alive and journey through the Western Galilee and experience the food and wine of the Carmel Mountains; relax and get pampered with optional spa treatments at Mitzpe Hayamim Hotel & Spa; explore, shop and dine in Jaffa and visit the beach in Tel Aviv for morning yoga; visit JNF’s projects and partners in Northern Israel, Jerusalem’s Machane Yehuda Market, the 9/11 Memorial and American Independence Park, and take optional tours to Masada and the Dead Sea or the Israel Museum.
