This is one of the comments Barbara Kupfer of Worcester used to hear from people who had never seen Israel. And she decided to do something about it. In 2011, she brought together a priest and a rabbi to lead the first interfaith trip from Worcester to Israel. Almost 30 Christians and Jews from central Massachusetts joined together to see firsthand what life is like in modern Israel and to jointly experience each other's holy places in the Holy Land.
With a background in marketing and sales, and many trips to Israel over the last fifty years, Barbara networked to build the first of these trips and is looking forward to many more trips to build interfaith understanding in New England.
