Authentic Israel

It was a meaningful trip, Dima our guide has a wealth of information which he shared most effectively I highly recommend this trip

This was the trip of a lifetime and I would strongly urge others to join the March. Authentic Israel ran a superp program.

It was a great experience. The leader of the group, Nitzan, was phenomenal. By weeks end we not only felt a sense of accomplishment but became family. Recommend the program to all.

My 2nd volunteer experience with Authentic Israel was every bit as incredible and impressive as the first (May 2024 and March 2025). I wasn’t sure if the 2nd trip would live up to the 1st one, but it did. Both trips were transformational. The guides (1st with Barak and Cat, and 2nd with Alon) were awesome – I couldn’t have asked for or even imagined more experienced, knowledgeable, and personable leaders. Even the groups were wonderful – all lovely people. Meeting an Oct. 7 IDF 1st responder and a Nova Festival survivor was both awe-inspiring and heartbreaking. Each trip was unique with only a few repetitions – one volunteer place and the Nova/Gaza envelope sites. The repetitions were totally worthwhile. I would recommend Authentic Israel’s volunteer program to anyone interested in helping Israel and also interested in having a remarkable and memorable experience. I am hoping to be able to go on a 3rd trip with Authentic Israel.

It was the most rewarding experience of my life! I felt totally safe, the program was well organized and kept the group moving forward as we did various kinds of volunteering, and we had the chance to share genuine conversations with all brands of Israelis. Both my guides were fabulous in their own ways. The buses were comfortable and the drivers were so competent in delivering us where we were expected to be. The opportunity to also visit some meaningful sights on the way was a bonus. I would and hope to do it again soon. It enabled us all to bear witness to the realities in Israel and with our own hand and hearts, make a difference.
