No, it’s not At lantis Paradise Island in the Ba hamas or the Wakaya Club in Fiji; it’s a trip to Israel. What makes the trip unique is that that we’ll be meeting up with another 190 women from the US and South America. This local project is the fulfillment of a vision that Sara Oppenheim of the Charlotte Torah Center has had since she moved to Charlotte with her family a few years ago. She believes that Jew ish women are the bastion of the community. If the women are pas sionate about being Jewish, every thing else will follow. T^n~g~B~r'o T T Torsih S. L. One of the things that’s impor tant to me is that there are women from every sector of the Jewish community with every shade of Judaism joining us.

The one thing we all have in common is that we’re moms with at least one child under 18 living at home. We travel as a group, tour, have seminars about the challenges of marriage and child rearing as a group, and we hope to continue our journey when we return as sis ters who have shared an incredible experience together. To date JWRP has brought close to 3,000 women from 40 cities and seven different countries. We’ve already had a few fun evenings where we’ve bonded as a group. Once we made crafts for Israeli soldiers (hosted by the Levine-Sklut Judaic Library), an other night we watched a film. One great event was watching the inspiring documentary “Israel In- (Continued on page 10)
