JWRP Momentum Journey

We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to the generosity of the Staenberg Family Foundation, the Jewish Federation of St. Louis is continuing its partnership with JWRP to offer women with children under 18 years old a 10 day journey through Israel. Preceding the JWRP Momentum Journey, we will spend two days visiting the Jewish Federation of St. Louis funded programs including an overnight stay in our Partnership region of Yok’neam-Meggido.

JWRP has partners all across North America, including many Jewish Federations. Since 2009, the JWRP has sent over 6,000 participants from 126 partner organizations in 17 countries on highly subsidized trips to Israel. This inspiring Israel experience incorporates deep Jewish learning, unique on-the-ground experiences and a bond with other women all committed to creating and sustaining a strong, vibrant Jewish community.

What’s unique about the Jewish Federation of St. Louis’ partnership is that we have the opportunity to bring 18 women committed to the work of the Jewish Federation of St. Louis to experience Israel with a focus on learning, leading and community. Through the JWRP Israel curriculum, we will learn Jewish values that elevate our leadership, and through our trip experiences, we will connect this learning to the programs and projects in Israel that our dollars support.

As a result of this experience, the Jewish Federation of St. Louis women will feel even more empowered to lead in ways that bring deep meaning and purpose to our work at home, in our organizations and to the community at large.

The application process is now open. Please see the attached flyer. To access the application, visit JWRP.org, click apply and then click on St. Louis MO Jewish Federation July 10-17 (days on JWRP trip without Federation days and travel) under list of trips. Applications will be accepted now through February 1, 2018.
