A Women's Hiking Delegation in Northern Israel
Walk Where History Lives
DATES: March 15-19, 2026
"Get up, walk through the land in its length and in its breadth; for I will give it to you."
(Genesis 13:17)
Join an extraordinary five-day hiking experience in Northern Israel with women from Pittsburgh, Karmiel, Misgav and Warsaw. This unique journey is part of the Partnership2Gether initiative, bringing together women from our sister communities to connect with what endures and deepen our bond with Israel — all while immersed in the breathtaking landscapes of the Galilee.
🥾 What to Expect
- Daily hikes through the forests, hills and trails of Northern Israel (5–8 miles per day on uneven terrain).
- Home hospitality with local host families in Karmiel and Misgav — a warm, authentic way to experience Israeli life.
- All meals, ground transportation and accommodations while in Karmiel and Misgav during the delegation are provided by the Jewish Federation.
- There may be additional costs depending upon the itinerary.
- Participants must purchase their own flights to Israel.
- Meaningful connections with women from three continents, united by shared values and a love of nature.
🥾 Why Join?
- All expenses in Karmiel/Misgav on the trip dates are covered — all we ask is a commitment to support the Federation’s Community Campaign with a donation of at least $360 in both 2026 and 2027.
- You will root yourself in the story of Israel, build lasting friendships and treasured memories.
- You’ll experience Israel in a way few ever do — on foot, in community and with purpose.
🥾 Who Should Apply?
- Women who are physically able to hike 5–8 miles per day on hilly and uneven terrain.
