For almost twenty years, The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation and the Baltimore Jewish Council (BJC) have been privileged to assist in being able to invite over 250 prominent Marylanders to visit the ancient land of Israel. Our goal has been to provide a rare opportunity to witness, first-hand, how individuals have overcome adversity, organized themselves, and thrived with dignity. The objective is to present Israel, “warts and all,” to our participants so that they can better understand and interpret the complex realities of the Middle East.

The BJC/Weinberg Mission has been specifically designed for leaders. In addition to visiting religious and historical sites, we will have an opportunity to meet with major political and community representatives from the region. Of course, given current events in the Middle East, we want to assure you that travel to Israel, along with any programmatic activities within the country, remain subject to any safety issues that may arise. Security is our primary concern, and will always be so in determining our travel plans.
