May 11-17, 2026 | An Extraordinary Experience for Jewish Women
Jewish Federation of San Diego is thrilled to partner with Momentum, an international movement empowering Jewish mothers to live with purpose and lead with Jewish values.
This life-changing seven-day trip to Israel — followed by a year of continued learning and leadership development — inspires women to connect deeply to Jewish values, engage meaningfully with Israel, take action in their communities, and foster unity without uniformity.
Participants join women from around the world for an unforgettable journey exploring Israel’s land, history, and spirit, guided by world-class educators. Upon returning home, participants engage in ongoing learning and community-building that strengthens Jewish life in San Diego.
- Israel Trip Cost*: $360 acceptance fee + $365 refundable deposit to Momentum
- Program Cost**: $1,200 fee for pre-and post-trip programming to Federation
- Applications: Open now for women leaders in our Women’s Philanthropy or Pauline Foster Women’s Leadership programs.
*Participants cover airfare, mandatory travel insurance, select meals, and personal expenses.
**Participants must pay both the Israel Trip & Program fee to participate in Momentum.
