Shluchos Prepare to Lead JLI Women’s Trip to Israel
Shluchos are preparing to lead community members on the inaugural JLI Land & Spirit Women’s Trip to Eretz Yisrael this October.
by COLlive Editor · COLliveWhen the Women’s Land & Spirit Israel Journey was first announced, something extraordinary happened.
Shluchos around the world immediately began reserving their places. Conversations with community members became commitments, and women who had dreamed of Israel for years finally found themselves saying, “This is the trip I’ve been waiting for.”
Now just about three months away, the inaugural Women’s Land & Spirit Journey is already more than half full, with spots filling quickly.
For the first time, JLI’s acclaimed Land & Spirit program is offering an Israel experience created exclusively for women, led by Shluchos alongside the women they have inspired, guided, and cherished.
“This journey was created with your women in mind,” says Mrs. Shaindy Jacobson, program director of Women’s Land & Spirit. “It’s far more than a visit to Israel. It’s an opportunity to experience the soul of our people together—to pray together, study together, laugh together, sing together, and return home forever changed.”
Throughout seven unforgettable days, participants will visit the timeless places where Jewish history lives: from the Kosel, Kever Rochel, Me’aras Hamachpelah, and Ir David, to Shiloh, Caesarea, and beyond. They will travel to Sderot and the Nova Festival site to hear firsthand accounts of October 7 and witness the extraordinary resilience of the Jewish people. And they will host female IDF combat troops for a soulful yet lively barbecue dinner complete with live music, dancing, and heartfelt connection that can only happen between sisters deeply rooted at their core.
Alongside these powerful moments will be the signature Land & Spirit experience: luxurious accommodations at Jerusalem’s David Citadel Hotel, gourmet cuisine, inspiring speakers, powerful and uplifting classes, soulful music, spirited dancing, meaningful entertainment, and countless opportunities for connection, reflection, and joy.
Now, for the first time, Shluchos have the opportunity to share this life-changing experience with the women they know best, thereby transforming lives, strengthening Jewish identity, and deepening bonds that will only continue to grow into a lasting love for Torah and Mitzvos.
Every Shlucha can picture her: The woman searching for meaning. The woman carrying quiet questions. The woman who gives endlessly to everyone around her but rarely gives herself this kind of gift.
She may not know it yet, but the invitation that changes her life could come from you.
Because this journey was created for her.
With the inaugural Land & Spirit Women’s Trip now more than halfway full, Shluchos interested in bringing a group are encouraged to register soon before the remaining places are spoken for.
The Land & Spirit Women’s Trip will take place October 19–25, 2026.
For registration or more information, Shluchos are encouraged to contact JLI’s dedicated Shlucha liaison Sara Krasnanski at skrasnanski@myjli.com.
