8 DAYS IN ISRAEL

Momentum: A Trip to Israel and a Journey of Growth

Challah and Soul is partnering with Momentum to go to Israel and it is going national — and we are bringing it to the heart of three of the most vibrant and diverse communities in America.

 Los Angeles. Atlanta. Baltimore.

Three cities. Three cohorts. One extraordinary journey. We are coming to your doorstep.

Something is happening this November that has never happened before.

For the first time, Challah & Soul is bringing together mothers from three cities: Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Baltimore. 5 to 6 women from each city, carefully and intentionally selected. Jewish mothers. Mothers in interfaith marriages who are raising the next generation with memory, Jewish values, and love at the heart of their homes. Women of every race, background, and tradition who share one thing in common: a belief that this journey matters.

Because every community is more than one story. The Jewish community has always been plural, Ashkenazi and Sephardic, Mizrahi and Ethiopian, Black and Brown and multiracial. So has every tradition that's ever sat across from another. The richness was always there; we just had to look. And this cohort, across all three cities, will reflect that truth out loud.

This isn't a vacation.
It's a transformation.

We see you. You are the mom who shows up for everyone. The one whose calendar is built around everyone else's needs: school drop-offs, college applications, holiday prep. You pour yourself out daily, with love and without question.

You're raising your children with intention, weaving justice, community, and belonging into the fabric of your family life. And sometimes you wonder when something gets to be entirely, unapologetically yours. This is that moment.

Introducing the Challah & Soul Momentum National Cohort

what this is

WHEN YOU RETURN

Your cohort reconvenes at least 6 more times, locally and together on Zoom. Transformation doesn't end at the airport. It begins there.

8 DAYS IN ISRAEL

Explore a land that has shaped the values millions of families are trying to pass on: how we treat strangers, how we rest, how we remember, how we repair what is broken.

BEFORE YOU GO

Your cohort meets at least 3 times locally before departure, building the trust that makes honest conversation possible.

A full year of growth, sisterhood, and meaning.

The Cost

Here's the part that might surprise you.
This trip is heavily subsidized by Challah & Soul and our partners. Your only financial responsibility is a $360 refundable deposit and your airfare.

Accommodations, programming, meals, and in-country travel are all covered. We're actively working to cover airfare too.

We want the only thing standing between you and this experience to be your willingness to say yes.

This journey is designed for women who are:

  • Mothers with children in their first year of college or younger
  • Jewish, or in an interfaith marriage raising children with Jewish values
  • Based in Los Angeles, Atlanta, or Baltimore
  • Curious about and committed to exploring those values in a diverse, interfaith setting
  • Open to deep connection with women whose stories differ from their own
  • Ready to invest in their own growth, not just their family's
  • Willing to show up fully: before, during, and after the trip

You don't need a particular denomination or background. You need only an open heart and a desire to explore the values you're passing on, alongside women on the same journey from a different starting point.

This journey is designed for women who are:

This cohort was built to be intimate by design, because the conversations that change you don't happen in crowds. They happen around a table, on a hillside, in a quiet moment with a woman whose story you almost never got to hear.

If you've ever felt on the edges of Jewish communal life, if your family doesn't fit a single neat category, this cohort was designed with you specifically in mind.

Spots are extremely limited. Five to six women per city.

Take the first step. The rest of the conversation happens together.
