Over 250 women from all backgrounds and locations. A grueling 22 km hike. 2 magical days in Israel’s Arava desert. 1 goal: to raise awareness and funds for OTS’s Yad La’isha: The Monica Dennis Goldberg Legal Aid Center and Hotline for Agunot.

The first annual “Women Moving Mountains” event – in Hebrew, “Eshet Hamidbar” – produced by Israel Marathon Corp, attracted women from Eilat to the Golan Heights (and even a small contingent from the USA!) to a challenging hike together with Yad La’isha’s advocates, current and former clients. The result was an unforgettable experience, and incredible amount of fun, and an inspirational display of strength and camaraderie proving that women can, in fact, move mountains.
