Join our 100% volunteer group for a direct aid mission to support the brave IDF soldiers on the front lines.
🇮🇱 Terri’s Angels is thrilled to partner with The Jewish Journey for our October 19–25, 2026 Volunteer & Solidarity Mission to Israel! 🇮🇱
Preliminary Itinerary & Details
​
💙 We are excited to share that our guide for this mission will once again be the AMAZING Nitsan Koren! Those who have traveled with us before know how special, knowledgeable, inspiring, and fun he is. Nitsan has a special ability to bring Israel’s history, people, and current realities to life while keeping the experience engaging and enjoyable for everyone.
​
The itinerary has been designed personally by Yael and Terri exclusively for Terri’s Angels October 2026 Trip participants.
The planned excursions and volunteer efforts differ from previous trips while being every bit as meaningful, impactful, and exciting! The itinerary will include unique experiences, meaningful volunteer opportunities, and special encounters that are not part of a standard Israel tour.
​
Deposits will be accepted beginning July 20. The tour group will be limited to 40 participants. Once that level of participation has been reached a wait-list will be maintained.Â
Â
Mission highlights include:
Â
🪖 Meeting Yuri Levin, who was captured by Hamas during the October 7 attack on Kibbutz Kfar Aza and escaped before his captors could take him into Gaza.
Â
🇮🇱 A meaningful day in southern Israel featuring the immersive ISRAEL-is October 7 program in Sderot, a firsthand account from a Nova Festival survivor at the Nova Festival site, and a visit to "Rockets into Roses", where artist Yaron Bob transforms rocket fragments fired into Israel into works of art symbolizing hope and resilience.
Â
🪖 Meeting Commander Ziggy, who will share his experiences serving in the IDF, living with severe PTSD and why he believes speaking openly about it is an important part of healing.
Â
🪖 Visiting the Israel ParaSport Center to meet wounded IDF soldiers and learn how adaptive sports are helping them recover physically and emotionally. Hear firsthand stories of courage, resilience, and determination while visiting one of Israel's premier rehabilitation centers, where many athletes have gone on to represent Israel in the Paralympic Games.
Â
🪖 Meeting two lone soldiers at the Beit HaKerem residence of the Michael Levin Lone Soldier Center. One made aliyah from New York on his own to serve in the IDF. The other is a Charedi soldier whose family sat shiva for him after he enlisted. Hear their remarkable personal journeys and see the gym equipment donated by Terri's Angels to support the soldiers who call the center home.
Â
🪖 Experiencing exclusive access, including:
Â
🪖 A live demonstration at Reichan showing how the civilian emergency response team uses a drone donated by Terri's Angels to help locate potential terrorists and protect nearby communities.
Â
🪖 A simulated terrorist infiltration with Zimrat's civilian emergency response team.
Â
🪖 A special tour of Tactical Zone, Terri's Angels' primary supplier of critical equipment for IDF soldiers, where you'll learn how Terri's Angels donations are used to provide lifesaving equipment to soldiers serving on the front lines.
Â
🪖 An IDF base visit in Harish featuring a BBQ with soldiers, meaningful conversations, and personalized shooting instruction at their training range.
Â
🇮🇱 Meeting Chani Ben Saadon, founder of Path of Tomorrow and its Sandwich Every Day initiative. Inspired by her own childhood without parents, a new school backpack, or even a daily sandwich, Chani created the organization to ensure vulnerable children have the essentials they need. Participants will hear her inspiring story before volunteering to prepare sandwiches for children in need. Terri's Angels previously donated over $17,000 in new backpacks and school supplies through her organization.
Â
🇮🇱 Volunteering at Save a Child's Heart (SACH), where compassion knows no borders. The organization provides life-saving heart care to children from around the world—including countries that do not have diplomatic relations with Israel. Participants will bring joy to children through games, crafts, and other fun activities while supporting them and their families.
The Terri's Angels Israel Mission is more than just a trip; it is a profound journey of solidarity and support.
​
Our community will travel to the front lines and local centers to provide direct aid and equipment verified by IDF commanders.
​
This mission focuses on delivering strategic and tactical equipment, funding morale-boosting BBQs, and addressing the daily living needs of those defending the Jewish homeland.
Participants will experience firsthand the impact of their contributions, meeting the soldiers and families whose lives are directly touched by Terri's Angels.
Â
Every detail of the mission is designed to foster a deep connection between our supporters and the volunteers on the ground in Israel.
Â
As a 100% volunteer group, we ensure that every ounce of energy and every dollar goes directly toward supporting the resilience of Israel.
Every experience has been carefully selected to provide meaningful volunteer opportunities, unparalleled access, and unforgettable personal connections.
