Exploring Israel Together: From Jerusalem to the Dead Sea

Alongside the joint work projects, Building Bridges Part II in Israel included a shared exploration of the country, offering participants the opportunity to experience different places, landscapes, and historical contexts together.

The group toured Jerusalem’s Old City and Ein Kerem, visited Yad Vashem, and traveled south to Masada and the Dead Sea, where they spent time at Kalia Beach. These excursions were complemented by informal moments of conversation and reflection throughout the journey.

The program concluded with a closing dinner in Tel Aviv, bringing the participants together after a week of shared work and travel. Experiencing Israel side by side created space for learning beyond the workshops, allowing participants to become more familiar with the country and with one another in a range of settings.
