    Jewish Heritage

    Home » Explore Israel » Jewish Heritage

    The Land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here their spiritual, religious and political identity was shaped. Here they first attained statehood, created cultural values of national and universal significance and gave to the world the eternal Book of Books.After being forcibly exiled from their land, the people kept faith with it throughout their Dispersion and never ceased to pray and hope for their return to it and for the restoration in it of their political freedom.

    From the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel – May 1948

    Visit Israel & embark on an incredible voyage of discovery where Biblical heroes, tyrannical rulers, wise Rabbis, courageous leaders, inflamed passions, daring battles, legendary tales and ancient yearnings come alive.

    Here are some of the aspects that are sure to catch your interest:

    • HISTORY
      The Jewish connection to Israel stretches back more than four millennia to the days of Abraham who was commanded to leave his homeland in Ur (modern day Iraq) and set out for the Promised Land to proclaim his faith in One G-d. Though Jacob and his sons descended to Egypt and were enslaved there by Pharaoh, Moses and then Joshua led the People of Israel back to establish themselves as a nation. Judges, kings, prophets, sages, builders, priests and warriors subsequently all left their mark on Jewish history throughout the First & Second Commonwealth when the Temple stood and during the 2000 years of Dispersion following the Roman conquest of Jerusalem. Witness the places and personalities “come to life,” as you journey through this fascinating country, where every stone has a story to tell. (Learn more…)
    • SPIRITUALITY
      Why head off to the Himalayas or an Ashram in India if you are searching for spirituality? There is no better place than Israel to seek answers for many of life’s questions, connect with your inner self and gain inspiration from your surroundings. The cities of Jerusalem and Tzfat act as magnets for students of Mysticism and there is an abundance of Rabbis & authentic spiritual guides with whom you can connect. (Learn more…)
    • MODERN ISRAEL
      Feel a part of the compelling story that is Modern Israel – a country that has witnessed the return of hundreds of thousands of her sons & daughters, repulsed the attacks of powerful neighbors bent on her destruction, transformed the wastelands into fertile pastures and is home to the largest, most vibrant Jewish community on the globe, contributing technological innovations such as the mobile phone & ICQ to the world. Soak up the sights, smells & sounds of the diverse ethnic cultures represented in the country and meet with members of minority groups. Seek out the modern-day heroes who sacrifice their own good for the good of the nation and come to grips with the complexities of life between the Jordan River & the Mediterranean. (Learn more…)
