“ T is was such a wonderful experience. Israel makes you feel like a blip on the screen of history … yet part of something huge and important at the same time. We highly recommend this trip!”


— Stuart & Linder Geller, East Bridgewater, NJ


Prepare to be enlightened by the many facets of a land from which the Bible’s ancient stories originated. Israel is a destination fi lled with wonder and mystery, yet familiar to anyone who has even a passing interest in the history of religion. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all present in the fabric of daily life here, and you’ll experience their mix of spiritual energy fi rsthand with a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee from Capernaum; a visit to the unsinkable waters of the Dead Sea, known for its curative powers since the days of Herod the Great; and a tour of Jerusalem, the holiest city in the world. T ere’s so much here that honors tradition, yet renews hopes for the future — from Tel Aviv’s emergence as a unique modern metropolis known as “the Bubble,” to must-see sites along Israel’s evolutionary road, where kings, emperors, traders, and prophets all helped shape its destiny.
