As JWRP
expands
its
women’s
trips to
Israel,
an
increasing
number
of
husbands
who saw
how the
experiences
affected
their
wives
and
families
asked to
share in
the
life-changing
journey.
This
moved
JWRP to
start
bringing
several
men’s
delegations
to
Israel.
The
Detroit
men will
be
joined
by 170
other
men from
the
United
States,
Canada,
Australia,
and
South
Africa.
The
“MoMENtum”
journey
for men
is
modeled
after
JWRP’s
“MOMentum”
trips.
The
“MoMENtum”
journey
includes
a rare
eight-day
adventure
to
Israel,
which
stretches
from the
mystical
Galilee
city of
Safed to
the
ancient
desert
mountaintop
fortress
Masada,
and
features
extensive
itineraries
and
curated
curricula
encompassing
everything
from
Jewish
values
to
contemporary
Israeli
society.
The
men’s
trips
include
a
special
visit to
an
Israel
Defense
Forces
army
base,
where
the
group
participates
in a
combat
boot
camp.
The
trips
inspire
men to
connect
deeply
with
their
Jewish
heritage,
and
transform
themselves,
their
families
– and
ultimately
their
communities
and the
wider
world.
“We
created
MoMENtum
experiences
after
getting
hundreds
upon
hundreds
of
requests
pleading
with us
to give
men the
chance
to
experience
the same
magic
their
wives
had in
Israel,”
said
Lori
Palatnik,
the
JWRP’s
founding
director.
“We are
happy to
give
these
men the
opportunity
to get a
taste of
what
their
wives
have,
and work
together
on
enacting
change
within
their
family
and
community.”
