(Sept. 10, 2025 / JNS) The Israeli Foreign Ministry was set on Wednesday to hold its first-ever staff-wide gathering in the Judean Desert, outside of the Jewish state’s pre-1967 lines, according to a report by the Haaretz daily on Tuesday.

The celebration will take place in Mishor Adumim, an industrial zone some 15 minutes east of Jerusalem, next to the city of Ma’ale Adumim.

According to an invite to employees, the pre-Rosh Hashanah party will feature a “Greek-style” program, including performances, dancing, meals, drumming and wine workshops, spa treatments and gifts.
