TOP SECRET
TOP SECRET: Beyond Sar-El
April 20–23, 2026
Sar-El invites you to take part in TOP SECRET: Beyond Sar-El, a unique and immersive educational experience that explores Israel through the lens of intelligence, strategy, and history beyond the headlines.
This special program pulls back the curtain on Israel’s most remarkable secret operations and the people behind them, offering participants a deeper understanding of the challenges, decisions, and ingenuity that shaped the State of Israel. Through expert-led lectures, guided site visits, and firsthand accounts, participants will engage with Israel’s story in a way rarely accessible to the public.
As part of this journey, Sar-El invites you to spend Yom HaZikaron and Yom HaAtzmaut together as one family, honoring those who gave everything for this country, and then celebrating Israel’s extraordinary achievements, resilience, and spirit in the place where history continues to unfold.
The program will be led by Avner Abraham, former Mossad agent and renowned intelligence historian, alongside senior operatives, commanders, and Israeli heroes who bring these stories to life with authenticity and insight.
