Two UPCOMING TIYULIM that are NOT to the Golan

Hebron Hills - The Shepherds’ Country - Tuesday, January 258:30am-6:00pm, Led byHaim Makovsky

Highlights: Kever Rachel, Kiryat Arba, Hebron, Sussiya

Spanning Jewish history from biblical times to Israel’s future, this tour begins at Kever Rachel. Then on to Kiryat Arba, which serves as an introduction to an inspiring tour of Hebron, the capital of Israel for seven years during the reign of King David, infused with the awesome sanctity of Me'arat HaMachpela. As we exploreBeit Hadassah, the Avraham Avinu neighborhood and Beit Romano, we’ll uncover the foundations of history that touched the lives of biblical figures including Avraham, Ruth, Yishai, Otniel and Avner. In Sussiya, as we walk through the remnants of this Roman-era Jewish town, it’s not hard to imagine the bustling everydaylife that once thrived here.

Shomron - Olive Trees upon the Terraces of Time, Thursday, January 27, 8:30am-6:00pm, Led by Michael Lessann

Ariel, Samaria/Sebastia, Har Gerizim, Kever Yosef

Welcome to a region of contrasts! Ariel, the modern thriving capital of the Shomron, boasts a population of more than 20,000 and the College of Judea and Samaria, scheduled to become the newest Israeli University. In pastoral, scenic Samaria/Sebastia, biblical capital of the Kingdom of Israel at the time of Omri, Achaband Eezevel, we’ll uncover the archaeological remains of their palaces, as well as a temple, an amphitheater and a hippodrome from at least three historic periods. This city was conquered by Shalmanser the Assyrian, Alexander the Great, and John Horkanus, and renamed Sebastia by Herod the Great. Har Gerizim marks the sitewhere the Children of Israel recieved G-d’s blessing. From this area, where Avraham first entered the Land of Israel, we can see breathtaking views of the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea, and as far north as the Golan Heights. We close the tour with an insprirational visit to Kever Yosef and the Yeshiva Od Yosef Chai wherewe’ll meet the dedicated young men who study there.
