"I now understand why the Mission is called “The Ultimate Mission”. It is indeed the ultimate mission, the name is not just marketing. The Mission has exceeded ALL my expectations in every possible area. The speakers were amazing and, even though they are very busy people, they actually showed that they found it important to be with us. The sites we saw were impressive, what an excellent choice!" .

Geraldo Lima Filho, Sao Paulo

"I have visited Israel about 15 times (since 1968). I have joined Shurat Hadin on three missions. Before my first mission, I checked references. One of the references happened to be a friend who has traveled to Israel 25 times. She told me it was the best trip she ever had, and she was repeating it also. The trip promises many interesting experiences, and delivers in spades. I would recommend this to anyone, especially someone who has visited Israel before. Outstanding program, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!"


Howard Feldman, Del Mar, CA
