faq’s

What does the trip cost?

For our participants, this is a heavily subsidized trip. Each participant on our men’s trip receives a $1,350 scholarship provided by Momentum and your Partner Organization (for men, the cost is $900 if your wife is a past Momentum participant and $1,200 if she is not.) It does not include airfare, a $99 application fee or tips

Can I come on a different date with a different city?

The short answer is “No.” A vital part of the Momentum experience is creating community at home, with men in your city and each Partner Organization invests in each of its participants to make this happen.

What if I have already been to Israel?

We give priority to men who have never been to Israel, or who visited before they turned 18, but many of our participants have visited Israel in the past. Apply and speak to your city leader for more details.
