Missions to Israel

Upcoming Missions

There are multiple opportunities to bear witness and make a positive impact on Israel during this incredibly challenging time.

American Friends of Sheba Medical Center will be hosting missions throughout the next few months, where you have the chance to volunteer, visit with the wounded, and hear from Sheba and government leaders.

These missions will involve walking tours, walking on uneven ground and moderate physical exertion. If you are uncertain about your ability to fully participate, please email Jessica Ben Nun at jessica@shebamed.org to discuss in further detail.
