As settler violence in the West Bank escalates, many of us are asking what it means to show up as Jewish leaders in this moment.
This year, T’ruah is offering two opportunities for North American Jewish clergy to join us in the West Bank. Both trips offer the chance to learn, bear witness, and stand in solidarity with Palestinian communities — and to bring those experiences back to your community at home. Past participants describe these opportunities as deeply meaningful and transformative, strengthening their leadership for an end to the occupation.
Jewish Clergy Tour of the West Bank – July 6-7, 2026
A two-day Jewish Clergy Tour of the West Bank on July 6-7. On this trip, we will explore the complexities on the ground, meet with Jewish Israeli and Palestinian leaders working for justice, and engage with the realities of the occupation. We’ve timed this trip to take place directly before the Hartman Rabbinic Seminar, but this trip is open to all chaverim, whether or not you will be attending the seminar. Note: This trip does not have a protective presence component and is designed for clergy with a range of experience levels, including those visiting the West Bank for the first time as well as returning participants.
