PAST PARTICIPANT'S COMMENTS ABOUT THE ULTIMATE MISSION TO ISRAEL

"I thought the trip was outstanding. The access was as good as I could have expected and I was particularly impressed by the sincerity and frankness of all our speakers. It is clear that it is impossible to understand the complexity of the situation without seeing and hearing it first hand".

"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!"

"When Michael and I returned from the 2007 Ultimate Mission, we came back on such a high. Very few times in our lives have programs or ads lived up to their promises, but yours did with flying colors. The events, speakers, etc, were conducted very professionally. I can't recall any delays or disappointments. I know my friends and students (I teach high school) were so envious at the fact we met with generals, visited military bases, and saw and heard things the average tourist can only dream about. The food was great, (too good, we are still dieting) and our fellow participants were as interesting as the tour. All in all a superlative trip! It gave us a greater appreciation of the overwhelming difficulties faced by our beloved Israel.Thank you again".

"We had been to Israel on three previous occasions and the "Ultimate Mission" truly was the ultimate mission. It makes no difference whether you've been to Israel once or whether you've been there 10 times; you will have never experienced a week such as this. First class accommodations and meals, attending a trial of an accused terrorist, visiting and taking a tour of the Erez border crossing on the Gaza border, visiting the "War Room" on an IDF base near the Lebanon border and watching Israeli soldiers spying on Lebanon via their computers. I could go on and on. In addition to the fact that you would be helping to support Shurat HaDin which provides a very unique and important function in the fight against terrorism, if you are interested in a behind the scenes look at the military/security situation in Israel the "Ultimate Mission" should be a must trip for you".

"Thanks Shurat Hadin for a very exciting and unique experience during the recent mission in November!

The mission seems to attract a diverse and interesting group of participants. There was always an atmosphere of stimulating discussion and debate during meal time and over drinks.

Overall, your program engaged us emotionally and intellectually in the complexity of strategic, tactical, moral, and political issues facing Israel as it meets various security and military threats on a daily basis. For those interested in such issues, this mission is a must! "

"This is not your mother and father's Mission. Jam-packed with unusual and in-depth views of what is really going on in Israel's ongoing war -- it is a "find" for the novice and an eye opener for people who consider themselves knowledgeable about the Middle East. Excellent accommodations fabulous food, comfortable transportation and fellow travelers who are menschen. Nitsana is an inspired leader and Shabbat in Jerusalem is a delight".

"The Ultimate Lawyers' Mission wildly exceed my every expectation. There is simply no comparable way to experience Israel in these trying times. On a judicial, military, cultural and religious level, the Mission delivered every time. Whether it was observing a terror trial outside Beit El, cruising the Kinneret in the beautiful moonlight, staring down Hizzboulah terrorists across the Lebanese border, or meeting the key policy makers and shapers in Israel, each stop on the odyssey connected me more and more to the tribulations and triumphs of our amazing Israeli brothers and sisters. Thank you Shurat Hadin for the experience of a lifetime"!

May I take this opportunity to thank every intelligence officer, military commander, soldier, border guard, policeman, government official, terror victim, rabbinical scholar and judge we met during the Lawyers’ Mission, not leaving out those "ordinary" Israelis gracious enough to receive us in their homes. I came away from Israel with an abiding sense of the decency and courage of its people in the face of terror, and a renewed determination to see the UK ally itself with Israel in its hour of need.

"Despite having been to Israel several times and being married to an Israeli, the Shurat HaDin Lawyers’ Mission, gave me a much greater insight into the reality and consciousness of the incredible struggle the Israelis face on a daily basis. The speakers which came from all levels of the military, intelligence, government and judiciary intrigued and greatly impressed our entire group with their articulate understanding of the Middle East reality. I came away from each meeting with a combination of feeling invigorated and more determined to stand behind Israel. The Mission was extremely well planned, organized with first rate accommodations, transportation and food. It exceeded all of my expectations, Any professional interested in experiencing first hand the reality of Israel cannot miss this Mission".

Thank you for inviting me to participate in a most fascinating and moving experience. I was very impressed with the speakers, the arrangments and locations of the presentations. The strength and passion of the Israeli people and their cause is most admirable and compelling. I am very honored and humbled to have been, albeit for a very short time and in a very indirect way, present and part of the situation. My support for Israel and its people is well founded and committed more than ever. I hope and trust that my country stands by yours in your time of need. I wish you God's blessing and my prayers will be with you.

The Shurat HaDin 'Ultimate Mission to Israel' provided information that far exceeded my expectations. As a retired Special Operations Commander I instruct law enforcement and military personnel in seminars entitled, 'Understanding Radical Islam- A Terrorism Study Guide for 21st Century Law Enforcement.' The access to information and analysis from high level counter terrorism officials from the Israeli military, intelligence community, and government was a once in a lifetime opportunity. The unique work of Shurat HaDin in representing victims of terrorism is truly inspirational, and is tremendous example of the courageous attitude of the Israeli people. You can be assured I will be telling all those who attend my seminars about Shurat HaDin. Respectfully,
