Israel Trip Opportunity from NRB President & CEO 

Dear NRB family,

I would like to extend a personal invitation for you to join me on a unique journey of solidarity and fact-finding to the Holy Land.

During my trip to Israel in December 2023, I witnessed firsthand the devastation of the horrific Hamas attack on October 7 and the resilience of the Israeli people. It is imperative that we stand in solidarity with them. There has never been a more opportune time for us as Christians to live out the Gospel. This is the time for Christians to take action by supporting, praying, and helping rebuild the devastated communities of Israel.

I am excited to share that NRB is partnering with PREMIER Vacations & Events and Keshet Journeys to offer the opportunity to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Israel.

We hope you will make plans now to join us from May 22–28, 2024, as we embark on a profound journey to deepen our understanding and support for Israel. Experience a close look of Israel since the October 7th attacks and hear firsthand accounts and testimonies. The itinerary will include visits to significant historical sites, meetings with community leaders, and possible opportunities to contribute meaningfully through volunteer work.

During this trip, participants will also have the opportunity to:

• Visit affected areas and peoples
• Receive firsthand briefings by the Israeli GPO and officials
• Meet with first responders
• Meet with local journalists and experts

I sincerely hope that you can join us for this incredible trip. Space is limited, so I encourage you to reserve your spot at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for considering this invitation, and I look forward to the possibility of exploring Israel together on this unforgettable journey.

Sincerely,
