Our first Gesher trip took place four years ago, as the world cautiously emerged from the pandemic. Over ten days, the bridge between San Diego and Sha’ar HaNegev was fortified through raw conversations, shared tears, difficult questions, and profound prayer. Like a narrow bridge, life sways beneath us, leaving us vulnerable to fear. In Israel, my colleagues and I experienced the narrow bridge firsthand: sirens and shelters, protests and exhaustion, grief and courage. May the joy we shared steady us on the narrow bridge that is our future together.
