Frequency of Travel to Israel in a Sample of Orthodox and Chassidish Respondents

Travel to Israel holds deep significance within the Orthodox and Chassidish Jewish communities. To explore these travel habits, Mispar surveyed members of its exclusive panel to measure the frequency of trips to Israel among Orthodox and Chassidish Jewish Americans.

Methodology
We surveyed 208 members of Mispar’s exclusive panel of Orthodox and Chassidish Jewish Americans. All respondents were over the age of 18 and English-speaking. Participants were asked: “How many times have you traveled to Israel?” with response options ranging from “zero” to “4 or more”. 

Recruitment Strategy
Participants were recruited from Mispar’s proprietary panel, which is composed exclusively of Orthodox and Chassidish American Jews. Respondents received panel points redeemable for a Visa gift card as appreciation for their time.

Findings

• Nearly half (45%) of respondents reported having traveled to Israel four or more times.
• About one in ten respondents (12%) had never visited Israel.

With nearly half of respondents having visited four or more times, the findings suggest that many frum individuals maintain strong ties with Israel through repeated trips. While a smaller segment has yet to travel to Israel, this highlights opportunities for greater engagement.
