As you plan to adventure and embark on this journey of coming to Israel during the war, we encourage you to take time to reflect and document your experience. 

Before You Come: 

• What are your goals and hopes for this trip?

• How do you anticipate feeling upon arrival?

• How do you expect this trip to differ from other trips you’ve taken?

While You’re Here:

• What did you do today? Describe your activities and experiences.

• Who did you talk to? Share any memorable conversations.

• Did you hear any interesting stories or witness anything remarkable?

• Has anything shifted your perspective on a particular issue or topic?

• What is one thing you have learned about yourself today?

After You Leave: 

• How did this trip affect you emotionally, mentally, or spiritually?

• What are 3-5 key takeaways from this experience?

• Are there any new changes you plan to make in your life after returning home?

• Was there something important you realized during the trip that you hadn’t considered before?

This is a trip of a life-time. You are taking part in history as we speak. Take time for yourself to understand the impact you are having on yourself, Israel, and the people you meet through this journey.
