Tsad Kadima invites you to a two-and-a-half-day desert experience in the Northern Negev and southern Judean Hills regions … walking together, enjoying spectacular views and raising donations that will be used to support children and adults in Israel with complex physical disabilities!
This year we will be based at the Roxon Desert Arad Hotel. How wonderful to enjoy the delights of the Land of Israel!
Tsad Kadima has been operating rehabilitative-educational centers throughout Israel for 38 years. With your support of the Hike for Hope, we will be able to expand our activities and provide essential services that are not supported by the government for children and young adults.
The hikes include different routes adapted to various levels of ability and experience, from beginners to advanced, special family routes and a route for adult hikers looking for a more relaxed pace.
The Hike for Hope is your opportunity to have an extraordinary experience, meet amazing people and be part of something meaningful. Come walk with us, feel the positive energy and contribute to this important cause!

What will my goal be?

Minimum fundraising goals -
Adult: NIS 3,000, Couple: 5,000 NIS
Up to 4 children (under 18) - plus an additional 1,000 NIS per child; Over 4 children (under 18) - plus an additional 500 NIS for each additional child.
Sample calculation of fundraising target:
A family of 7 (2 adults and 5 children) - minimum goal:
5,000 + 4*1,000 + 500 = 9,500 NIS
Hikers from overseas - minimum fundraising goals are the same as above, but in their country currency. For example, adult from the US = $3,000 & couple from the US = $5,000.
