Itinerary

It’s highly recommended to book a pre-night in Jerusalem to recover from any jet lag you may experience. It’s also a good time to relax as the trip is quite face paced with very little room for free time. It’s also important to remember that the hospitality expectation can differ greatly from what you may be used to in your home country. The point of travel is to open yourself up to cultural differences and new experiences; practice patience and keep an open mind.

The included lectures serve to give context to the various viewpoints and cultural differences within Israel. Try to keep an open mind and see these discussions as learning experiences in which you can begin to understand how just about everything in Israel is either directly or indirectly related to different Political and Spiritual opinions. (B)

First thing in the morning the group will head to Israel’s memorial to the Holocaust called, Yad Vashem. Afterwards, it’s on to see the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Israel Museum. Choose to meander through the exhibition on your own and in the evening embark on a walking tour to the vibrant Mahane Yehuda Market with an Israeli chef. During the walk you’ll learn about the staple ingredients in Israeli cuisine before partaking in a lesson in kosher cooking. (B/D)

It’s all about Bethlehem today. This ancient town is located in the hills of the West Bank. First, the group will visit Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity, supposedly, where Jesus is said to have been born. Then, take a walk through a Palestinian refugee camp close by before continuing on to a local women’s collective to support refugee women. Here, watch and learn how Palestinian dishes are prepared in the shared camp kitchen before digging in to the delicious meal with these women who will tell you stories of their experiences and lives as refugees. (B/L)

In the Galilee area we stay in a local resort-style hotel which is operated by a Kibbutz. (B/D)

Experience the place where it’s thought that Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount at the top of the Mount of Beatitudes. See the incredible views of the Sea of Galilee and visit the church that commemorates the event. Then, onwards to the ruins of Capernaum to learn perspectives of Israeli Arabs before continuing on to Nazareth. Here, enjoy a quick visit to the Basilica of the Annunciation, which also happens to be one of the largest churches in the entire Middle East. Later, the group will be treated to a private tasting and tour of a local winery. (B/D)

Along the way to the beautiful Mediterranean, stop at the coastal city of Haifa before continuing south to Caesarea Maritima for some exploring of the ruins of this harbour city. Then, finish the day in Tel Aviv where you can enjoy the group’s last night in Israel. (B)

Depart at any time. (B)
