Israel is the birthplace of the Abrahamic faiths and the spiritual center for more than half of the world’s people. Discover the awe and majesty of this ancient land with the one you love. Expert educators guide this unique journey, helping interfaith/intercultural couples explore a landscape immensely rich in spiritual heritage and significance. Spend Sabbath in Jerusalem at the Western Wall, one of the last remaining structures from the complex of the Second Temple, once considered God’s home on earth. Visit the Galilean hills, a lush region of waterfalls and wildflowers where Jesus gave his open-air Sermon on the Mount. Climb to the ruins of Masada, an ancient palace perched on an isolated rocky plateau, where Jewish rebels made their last stand against the mighty Roman Empire. Celebrate Israel Independence Day at Rabin Square in Tel Aviv.
