A Mission to Explore Israel Through a Legal Lens

Attorneys, judges and other legal professionals from the Miami area are invited to join the Greater Miami Jewish Federation Attorneys’ Division for a unique and memorable mission to Israel designed especially for them. Chaired by Alan J. Kluger & Honorable Amy Dean and Mycki & Stuart Ratzan, the mission will take place April 13-19, 2026, and explore numerous topics through a legal lens. While spending two nights in Tel Aviv and four nights in Jerusalem, mission-goers will learn about the challenges of prosecuting the perpetrators of the October 7 massacre, legal dilemmas in IDF operations and the role of AI in legal matters. They will meet with Supreme Court judges, show solidarity with IDF officers and soldiers, experience Israel’s rich culture and cuisine and share a meaningful Shabbat in Jerusalem. “This is an opportunity for lawyers and judges from the US to spend time with Israeli lawyers, judges, politicians and academics to understand the similarities and differences between our two systems,” said Alan Kluger. “We will visit the sites associated with October 7, military facilities and courts, among other must-see destinations.” For more details and to register, click here.
