Private Israel delegation

August 8-13, 2025

This USIEA Private Israel Delegation is not our typical trip to Israel, it’s an opportunity to stand with Israel in a meaningful way. As a valued member of our organization, you’re invited into an experience that goes beyond the well-worn paths of traditional tours. While we will visit some of the sacred sites that have shaped our story with Israel, the real heart of this journey lies in deepening our understanding of where Israel is today and strengthening our ties and support to the nation. 

​

We’ll meet with government officials, security experts, and innovators who are on the front lines of Israel’s challenges and successes. We’ll hear firsthand about the realities facing the country and the ways we can partner in its future. Through these high-level briefings and meaningful conversations, we’ll gain insight into how we can make a real difference—both now and in the years to come.

 

This is more than a tour. It’s a chance to show up, to listen, to learn, and to lead in support of Israel. It’s about standing with Israel—not just in spirit, but in presence.
