In Their Own Words

“We applied to HMI because I had a deep connection to Israel while my partner had never been. The opportunity to share my love for Israel and experience the tumultuous times of October 7th's impact together was incredibly meaningful...This experience brought us closer as a couple, strengthened our bond with Israel, and expanded our network of Jewish friends in Chicago, IL.”

Israel Experience Highlights

Get a glimpse of the unforgettable places you’ll explore with HMI in Israel. From historical places filled with meaning to modern spaces that highlight the current complexities of Israel, these meaningful sites will bring history, culture, and connection to life on your HMI journey.

  • The Old City of Jerusalem: Are you a history buff? Wait until you get to walk through the Old City of Jerusalem. Between the magnitude of the Kotel (Western Wall) to the beautiful architecture of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, it’s an eye-opening way to witness diverse communities, their history and holiness.

  • Hostages Square: This public plaza in Tel Aviv received its current name following the October 7 Hamas-led attack on Israel, and features art installations that bring attention to the people still being held hostage by Hamas and calling for their release. While we hope this vigil is no longer needed during your trip, we will find opportunities to learn about the changes across Israeli society due to the October 7 attacks.
  • Tasting Tour in Carmel Market: Enjoy a tasting tour through the trendy and colorful outdoor Carmel Market in Tel Aviv and sample the diverse food and cultures that combine in this unique modern metropolis.
