The Jerusalem Leadership Institute
The Jerusalem
Leadership Institute
As of November 4, 2025, we are thrilled to announce that we are opening a second leadership training center in Israel located in Jerusalem! Positioned at the base of Mount Herzl in the land below Yad Vashem, we've secured a site just four miles from the Old City through a strategic and exclusive partnership with the Tzippori Forrest. Our newly accredited "Institute" status (which also applies to our programming at the National Leadership Center in Ariel) positions us to expand our current impact and serve Israel through programming focused on resilience and trauma recovery. From IDF soldiers and trauma survivors to high school students and parent-child pairs, our vision is to offer healing, purpose-filled experiences to those who need them most in both Ariel and Jerusalem.

“I love where this property is located, because it's just above Ein Karem, which is the town of John the Baptist. And [his message] was of the turning of hearts...and I believe that's what [the Jerusalem Leadership Institute] will be about. [This property] is a long-held dream that has been in our hearts.”
