Join Our Journey of Good
You’ve read about our Good People, come meet them in person on our first-ever Good People Fund trip to Israel!
November 1-8, 2026
Join Naomi and Julie as The Good People Fund takes a unique journey to Israel. This experience will offer a powerful opportunity to witness the impact of your tzedakah and to be part of a community committed to doing good in the world.
You will meet some of our extraordinary and inspiring Good People who work quietly strengthening communities, building bridges, restoring dignity, and responding to urgent needs with compassion and courage, with every detail thoughtfully planned to allow you to learn, connect, and experience Israel through the lens of our social visionaries.
Spend time with Good People Fund grantees addressing pressing challenges, from social inclusion and education to coexistence and community care.
Visit projects and sites rarely seen by visitors and engage in thoughtful, honest conversations with social visionaries doing courageous work on the ground.
Through guided conversations and shared reflection, we’ll explore what it means to live our Jewish values in complex times.
Travel alongside a small group of like-minded partners who believe deeply in relationship-driven tzedakah and meaningful engagement.
