MOTHERS OF LONE SOLDIERS
Israel’s “lone soldiers,” who move to Israel to serve in the Israel Defense Forces, require extra strength, determination, and love – and so do their families back home. In partnership with Nefesh B’Nefesh, Momentum welcomes mothers of these brave young adults on a profound eight-day journey.
Together, these “mothers in arms” connect with themselves, each other, and Israeli mothers, as they soak up Jewish values, wisdom, and learning – all against the beautiful backdrop of the land their children now call home.

This has changed my life. I feel very much more connected to my daughter in Israel, and Israel in general. I have become determined to learn Hebrew and have re-entered the work force as a teacher, hoping to save money for another trip to Israel. I felt so connected to the wonderful women on the Mothers of Lone Soldiers trip.
