Back to Israel

This is our tour for returning Christian pilgrims to the holy land. We will visit incredible biblical and historical sites that you don’t usually see on your first tour. The itinerary is updated according to the latest archeological discoveries and can be “Tailor Made” to your specific needs and wishes. The tour includes eight full touring days.

This biblical study tour will provide you with an opportunity to not only to deepen your knowledge but also to have a close encounter and relationship with the land and its people. You will experience Israel in unique ways including: Israeli home hospitality [at my home!], exploring life in Kibbutz, visiting an IDF army base and meeting with the soldiers, participating in an archeological dig or having a Shabbat home experience in Jerusalem.
