Jews by Choice Study Tour & Itinerary
Israel Celebration Tours is ready to guide you in the completion of your spiritual journey. Allow us to introduce you to the Jewish people's connection to this ancient and modern land – your homeland – through an exciting experiential and educational tour program.
In the words of Ruth the first convert to Judaism: "Whither thou Goest I will go. Your God will be my God. Your people will be my people." (Book of Ruth).
Her words carry the basic message to all future Jews by Choice and it is her words that guide us in developing special programs to ensure that your encounter with the source of these profound words is both a meaningful and memorable experience...
As the Jew by Choice enters into the covenant of Abraham and Sarah so too, he or she becomes a full and active participant in all aspects of the life of the Jewish people.
We face Jerusalem and recite the words “Next Year In Jerusalem” at all our holiest moments. With Israel Celebration Tours, you can experience Jerusalem THIS year!
Join us in connecting to the Nation of Israel, the People of Israel and the God of Israel.
