J Street U organized a one-time model trip to Israel and the Palestinian territory during the summer of 2019. The trip provided an in-depth and nuanced educational experience that reflected our progressive values and our commitment to human dignity for Palestinians and Israelis alike. Participants walked away from the trip with a deep understanding and meaningful connection to Israel as the democratic homeland for the Jewish people. As part of a follow-up to our model trip, J Street currently runs a series of one-day Let Our People Know trips per year for students visiting or living in Israel to join.
