Berman Mission 2026
#BermanMission2026
November 25 – December 6, 2026
A transformative Israel adventure with your Berman classmates and teachers.
Countdown to Mission
At Berman, we are deeply committed and connected to the Land and State of Israel. One of the core ways we show our appreciation and love for Israel is through our Upper School Mission, which occurs every four years. We are thrilled to announce that planning for our 2026 Upper School Mission to Israel is underway! First and foremost, we would like to thank Debra and Denny Berman for providing this opportunity for all of our Upper School students to travel to Israel together for an experience of a lifetime.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the dates of the mission and the basic itinerary?
The mission will take place November 25-December 6, 2026. We will provide a much more detailed itinerary in the Fall, but one of the key features will be the opportunity for students to choose from one daily itinerary track in advance.
How do students get to Israel?
We have group flights to Israel. More details to come.
What do I need to do now?
- Make sure your child has a current passport. Current means that the passport must be valid for 3 months after the mission (valid through March 2027). If your passport expires before March 2027, you will need a new passport in order to travel with the mission.
- Apply for an Israel Entry Visa
- Get excited!
What if my child has an Israeli passport?
If you have an Israeli passport and you will be at least 18 years old, you should contact the embassy to determine if you need an exemption from the IDF.
Will there be a reunion dinner for MJBHA alumni in Israel?
Yes! As in previous missions, there will be a Reunion Dinner. Stay tuned for more details!
Will the school communicate with the parents during the mission?
Yes! We will update the Facebook (Berman Hebrew Academy) and Instagram (@Bermanupperschool) pages daily.
There will be much more information to follow and the FAQ list will be updated regularly on the school website.
