מפגש.ות (Mifgashot) is a weekly online group life coaching service in Hebrew, created exclusively for Israelis living outside of Israel. Whether you moved abroad recently or have been living away from Israel for years — whether you are thriving professionally but feel something is missing inside — you are not alone, and this was built for you.

We know what it feels like. The homesickness that arrives in waves — sometimes triggered by a song, sometimes by the smell of a market, sometimes on an ordinary Tuesday when everything looks fine from the outside but something inside feels incomplete. We know what it is like to try to explain an Israeli joke to local friends and watch them stare blankly. We know what it means to celebrate Passover without your family, to watch the news from Israel with a knot in your stomach, to feel guilty for being safe abroad while people you love are not, and to wonder whether you made the right choice.

Our weekly groups address the full emotional landscape of being Israeli abroad: loneliness and disconnection, homesickness and missing family, guilt about living abroad during the war, anxiety and fear for loved ones in Israel, processing October 7 from a distance, navigating Israeli identity in a world where it is sometimes complicated to be Israeli, relocation stress and culture shock, difficulty finding meaningful work abroad, relationship strain caused by relocation, raising bilingual Israeli children far from grandparents, building a new life while staying true to who you are, and the biggest question of all — should I go back to Israel.

Beyond emotional support, every session builds practical life skills that make life genuinely better: resilience and mental strength, self-worth and confidence, decision making with clarity, motivation and sense of purpose, stress management and coping with uncertainty, interpersonal communication and relationship skills, mindfulness and emotional regulation, work-life balance, and leadership. This is not therapy. This is not a one-time workshop. This is a fixed weekly space — in Hebrew, with other Israelis who understand you without explanation.

Our team includes Dr. Gal Harpaz, social psychologist and organizational consultant specializing in motivation, decision making, and interpersonal relationships, based in the USA. Dr. Marav Regev Nevo, social psychologist and personal coach specializing in leadership, women's empowerment, and mindfulness, based in Italy. Dr. Rinat Shahaf Brazili, group facilitator and psychodrama specialist focusing on belonging and self-worth, based in the Israel. And Maayan Dor, expert clinical psychologist specializing in trauma, mindfulness, and dyadic therapy, based in New Zealand. We are all Israelis living abroad ourselves. We built מפגש.ות because we needed it too and could not find it anywhere.

Our groups are open to Israelis everywhere — New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, Boston, Washington DC, Seattle, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, London, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Porto, Rome, Milan, Zurich, Geneva, Vienna, Brussels, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, Helsinki, Warsaw, Prague, Budapest, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Auckland, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Bogotá, Mexico City, Singapore, Tokyo, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and wherever you are in the world.
