What is the Israel Dream Journal?
You don't have to be planning Aliyah to enjoy this. You just have to love Israel, and care about what that means for you and your family.
The Israel Dream Journal is 24 full-color pages of original art, Jewish text, and guided prompts, designed to help you explore your personal connection to Israel, whether you're dreaming of a first visit, remembering a trip, or thinking about a future Aliyah.
Each page is a work of art in itself. You can work through it as a pure writing and reflection experience by responding to prompts directly on the page in your own hand. Or you can go further, cutting, arranging, and layering your own images and words into something that's entirely yours. Either way, the result is the same: a personal Dream Map that belongs on your wall, in a frame, or in the hands of someone you love.
Inside the journal
- Jewish journaling and writing prompts rooted in our history and heritage
- Tehilim Psalms 125 and 126, in Hebrew and English
- Hatikva, in Hebrew and English
- Jewish marriage in Israel and excerpts from the Sheva Brachot
- Israeli landscapes Jerusalem stone, desert roads, Mediterranean coastline
- Tel Aviv street life, IDF insignia, Jewish symbols and Hamsa stickers
- Guiding words in Hebrew and English belonging, courage, roots, connection, growth
- A complete dream board process: explore, create, and dream
No two people complete it the same way. That's the point.

When you're done, frame it, photograph it, make it your phone wallpaper, or give it to someone you want to share this dream with.
Why Images and Words Work
What happens when you stop talking and start creating
"Visual tools make invisible concerns visible."
Some of the most meaningful things we carry are hard to say out loud: a longing, a memory, a hope, a question about who we are and where we belong. That is true of our connection to Israel, and of family life in general.
Choosing an image, writing a few words, and arranging them on a page reaches thoughts and feelings that direct conversation often misses. It gives everyone at the table, from teens to grandparents, an easier way in, and turns big questions into conversations you actually want to have.
Why it works:
- Grounded in phototherapy and bibliotherapy, creative methods that use images and stories for reflection
- Created by an educational counselor who has spent years guiding teens and families through life's big transitions
- No art skills needed, and no wrong answers
- Works alone, with a partner, or as a whole family
Questions about the journals
Do I need to be planning Aliyah?
No. Whether Aliyah is a plan, a someday, or not part of your story, the Israel Dream Journal is a way to explore your connection to Israel as a family, with no pressure and no wrong answers.
Printed journal or digital download?
The printed journal is full color, mailed to you, and includes a free PDF copy so you can print extra pages at home. The digital download is a PDF to print yourself; for the best results, print at a print shop on heavy paper.

Shipping is free on every order. Order by November 15 for international delivery before Hanukkah begins on December 4, or by November 25 within Israel.

Contact us with the number of copies, the delivery country and the date you need them, and we'll send you a quote.
