Everyone has their own perception of what Israel is about: it's a travel-agency package of beaches and sun; it's the Promised Land of the Jews; it is a ticking time bomb. And while it is all of these things, it's much more besides.

At times, Israel can seem like a country obsessed by clergy. In Jerusalem, you could hear the Muslim call to prayer competing with the clanging of bells from Christian churches and the prayers of Jews bobbing before the Western Wall. In other parts of the country, you will find yourself walking in the exact places where the events of the Bible unfolded. Everywhere you turn, you'll see reminders of the three religions -- Islam, Judaism and Christianity -- that have shaped this part of the world.

Yaakov will be glad to visit Israel together. He would like to offer you one of the most interesting places in the world – Israel. You will memorize this tour as the most interesting event in your life!
