Building Bridges Trips

Each year, the Sisterhood takes a trip to a place of significance to the Muslim and Jewish communities either virtually or physically. In early 2022, 340 participants traveled on a virtual trip to Israel-Palestine in 5 weekly sessions and in 2020, over the course of six weeks, over 100 women traveled on our first-ever, virtual trip, a civil rights and racial justice journey.
In-person trips include Immigration at the U.S.-Mexico Border (2020), Germany/Poland (2019), Civil Rights Trip to the U.S. South (2018), Azerbaijan (2017), the Balkans (2016), Morocco (2023) and our most recent trip to Spain (2024)!

Why Travel With Us?

This Is Not a Typical Trip.

It’s a guided journey into dialogue, history, and human connection.

We work closely with Mejdi Tours to design travel experiences for women who want to engage the world with curiosity, courage, and care. We explore what it means to build bridges in real life — together.

WHAT MAKES THIS JOURNEY DIFFERENT

  • Purposeful travel — rooted in values, not tourism

  • Facilitated dialogue — you’re never navigating hard conversations alone

  • Deep cultural immersion — beyond headlines and history books

  • Time to reflect — space to process, connect, and grow

This is travel that challenges you — and changes you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

This journey is for you if you:

  • Care about Muslim and Jewish connections

  • Value listening as much as speaking

  • Are curious, open, and ready to learn

You don’t need to be an expert.
You just need to be willing to show up.
