Women’s Philanthropy Mission to Berlin and Israel

Join the Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia for an unforgettable Jewish journey that mirrors our history.

Jewish life in Berlin today is thriving and diverse, though facing a rising tide of anti-Semitism that bears unsettling echoes of the past. In contrast, modern Israel is a place that doesn’t merely exist — itself a daily miracle — but has rapidly evolved from a pioneer state to a global research and development tech hub, driven by powerful female leadership. Witness the impact of our work in Israel and overseas, and meet inspiring women who have led Israel into the 21st century.
