IsraelTravelers have been coming to the land of Israel to be inspired, refreshed, and renewed.

It is an enriching experience and home to many sacred and religious sites. Jerusalem, the Holy

City, has been revered for centuries by Jews, Christians and Muslims. Haifa, home to the world

headquarters of the Bahai religion boasts a majestic shrine atop Mt. Carmel. Safed, home to the

mystical/spiritual part of Judaism (kabbalah) with its winding cobblestone streets and ancient

graves of holy men, will amaze. Tiberias, on the Sea of Galilee, with its peaceful churches and the

holy city of Nazareth, both reminders of Jesus’ life and ministry. Israel is for everyone —young,

old, singles, couples and families. It is the land of all people, an exhilarating blend of ancient and

contemporary that you will never forget.
