Turn your Mitzvah into a Mission. Save lives. Meet heroes. Bear Witness.
Your family will bring light to the darkness, experiencing the border of Gaza in a way that allows you to bear witness to October 7th while also bringing joy, celebration and light to the local residents and IDF soldiers serving in Gaza!
This is your mission. Are you ready to stand with the soldiers of Israel? They’re ready to meet their heroes — you.
This is for all ages and includes an IDF base visit.
IDF Gaza Border Combat Base Visit & Life-Saving Gear Delivery
We will meet IDF combat soldiers and combat medical teams currently serving in Gaza, on their base, on the Gaza border – where you will personally present them your donated life-saving equipment.
Gaza Border Community
On the morning of October 7, 2023, Kibbutzim and towns all along the Gaza envelope near the Gaza border, were the hardest-hit sites during the brutal Hamas terrorist invasion that marked the beginning of the war. We will walk through and personally witness the destruction – and hear directly from the heads of security all about that terrible day – and what they are currently doing to re-equip and make sure this never happens again! We will also personally donate and deliver critical equipment to the security leaders of the kibbutzim.
Moshav Tekuma – the Car Wall
A striking and haunting memorial made from burnt and destroyed Israeli cars. These cars, initially moved from Route 232 and other areas after the HORRIFIC Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023, now form a powerful tribute, marking this as a reminder of the largest terrorist attack in Israel’s history.
Nova Music Festival Site
A deeply emotional experience – From music and peace to absolute terror.
‘Migunit’ / The Bomb Shelter
Light memorial candles inside the bomb shelter from which Israelis were murdered and kidnapped from.
Tree Planting on the Gaza Border
Planting trees in a Gaza border community that was attacked on October 7 is an act of sacred defiance — turning devastation into life, pain into purpose, and ensuring that hope takes root where terror tried to destroy. Plant new life, together with the men and women who went through it all.
Witness October 7th and show your love to the IDF Heroes.
Plant trees on the Gaza Border in a community that was attacked on October 7th.
The most impactful and meaningful mitzvah experience in Israel.
The Judean Hills experience lasts approximately 3-4 hours.
The Gaza Border experience lasts approximately 6-8 hours, including estimated driving time.
Children of all ages love the outdoor, hands-on experience activities.
We give special attention to children, such as searching for ancient pottery in the fields, to maximize their experience and connection.
We strive to create an incredible experience even in tough weather, but sometimes the weather does not cooperate.
Since we are an outdoor nature experience, if the weather becomes too severe (e.g. rainstorms in the Israeli winter), we will make every effort to reschedule your group.
If rescheduling is not possible, we will provide full credit toward your next experience with us.
Completely closed shoes (e.g. sneakers or hiking shoes, not crocs) are required.
Wear clothing that you feel comfortable getting a little dirty.
Bring drinking water.
Planting trees and digging the land means your clothes may get a little dirty, but nothing out of the ordinary.
If you take any special medication or require specific personal items, please make sure to bring them.
All of our planting experiences can accommodate people with specific accessibility needs.
Some planting areas are in low mountain terrain and may require light walking in the hills or a short walk from one spot to another.
Our experiences take place in two locations.
The Judean Hills, which is only 20 minutes south of Jerusalem along the ancient and beautiful Path of the Patriarchs.
The Gaza border, where we witness the events of October 7th while bringing joy and light to this devastated area.
We do not provide transportation to and from our area, but we are happy to help connect you with a dependable local taxi service and bus line information if needed.
Our area is fully and safely accessible by private vehicle, van, minibus, and tour bus.
We are located in outdoor, rural areas that are also very close to the local towns where we have access to restrooms, markets and restaurants.
Canceling your experience requires a 14-day advance notice for a full refund, minus the cost of the donated equipment purchased on your behalf.
Due to the costs involved in securing the donation equipment for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah experience, we are unable to refund the cost of the equipment.
The equipment will be donated in your name to IDF soldiers, along with a video of thanks from the soldiers to your family.
