Kairos West Michigan Tour of Israel & Palestine
October 26 to November 4, 2022
Deadline to register July 1, 2022
Take a deep, fresh, and unique look at this amazing land, with a multiple-perspective tour of Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Facilitated by two guides, one Israeli and one Palestinian, this tour will allow you to experience ancient sites, cosmopolitan cities, scenic landscapes, and the political realities of this diverse region through the eyes of its residents.
Beginning with Jerusalem, moving further into the towns and villages of the West Bank, Galilee, the Golan Heights, and ending on the shores of the Mediterranean and with the rich cosmopolitan vibrancy and the gritty political realities of Tel Aviv. This tour offers travelers the opportunity to meet religious leaders, artists, activists, and ordinary citizens and learn about contrasting national narratives, various religious perspectives, and political points of view.
During our visit, we will share in fellowship with local residents, meditate and reflect at sacred sites, and build relationships with local families from the country’s diverse Jewish, Muslim, Christian, and other communities. As we move through this land, our experiences will compel us to tackle the difficult questions of faithful citizenship in a broken world. Even more, this tour will offer the opportunity to celebrate the hospitality, deep faith, and vibrant cultures of the people of this land.
