AFJS Delegation - REVIVAL

Judea & Samaria - It's Jewish, It's Vital, and It's Realistic

SAVE THE DATE- February 16^th -20^th , 2025

For over a year, the State of Israel has been fighting a war on several fronts. During this time, we, the Jewish people, have been standing courageously and persistently against cruel enemies who seek to destroy us. Despite the terrible suffering and the many casualties, we remain strong and resilient.
At the same time, the outcome of the US elections have resulted in a series of senior appointments to the new government. These people are friends of Israel and supporters of the Israeli communities of Judea and Samaria.
Therefore, we will shortly be hearing about various plans and a lineup of ideas involving the future of Judea and Samaria.
Judea and Samaria is a vast stretch of land that spreads across 23% of the territory of the State of Israel. There are so many people who would like to get to know the region and learn of the challenges it faces with respect to its development at this stage in time.
We are offering you a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to join us on an expedition where you can gain in-depth knowledge of Judea, Samaria and the Jordan valley, a region steeped in biblical history, and learn about the strategic significance of these parts for all of Israel.
