Over forty women from cities across the United States and Canada embarked on a meaningful journey throughout Israel on the Israel Bonds Women’s Division Delegation, which took place October 27-31. The delegation marked a uniquely memorable experience for all, as attendees heard from notable Israeli women in impressive and diverse positions, learned about the Jewish state’s cutting-edge technology and innovation, and met with personalities who are changing Israel and the world.
