Tuesday, October 13
Sabastia, the biblical city of Shomron ( the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Israel )
and "Shuva Yisrael", a renewed hilltop farm in the area
Depart from the Inbal Hotel at 9:00 and return at approx. 6:00
We will travel in a comfortable coach with special protective windows.
A professional expert will guide us through this monumental site.
The ancient capital of the Kingdom of Israel, where our kings and prophets made their marks in Tanach, remains a focal point of international polemics and politics today.
Surprised?
The "United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)" has declared the ancient biblical landmark a "Palestinian heritage site".
The only mark that the local Arabs have made on the unique biblical site is vandalism, theft of antiquities, illegal construction, and lots of trash.
The last time I was there, before COVID, prominent Palestinian flags and PA armed men were staring at us.
The IDF accompanied us to this cherished Tanakh site.
It was surreal.
Still, I was blown away by the archaeological finds and Tanakh stories at our fingertips.
The government has finally invested millions of shekels to preserve and secure the site and encourages visits again after many years of neglect.
I expect a more relaxed and uplifting experience this time, IH.
We will have lunch in Homesh (bring your own), one of the villages and yeshivot destroyed by Ariel Sharon in 2005.
The government finally rescinded the "No Jews allowed" law, and they were rebuilt by the exiles.
We will visit a new hilltop community nearby, "Shuvu Yisrael," where we will share our love and support for the young pioneers there.
On this day we shall behold the old and build the new.
350 shekels

Tuesday, November 3
After a three-year hiatus, we will renew our annual visit to the world-famous "Agmon Hachula" bird sanctuary in the Hula Valley.
Each year at this time, vast numbers of migratory birds fly from Russia to Africa. The lush Hula Valley, with its shallow ponds and grasslands, provides resting and feeding grounds to continue their flight.
Birds and nature lovers near and far come to witness this amazing phenomenon, which lasts only a few weeks.
The sanctuary authorities tell me that November 3 is a perfect date,
and the best time is just before sundown.
I have reserved the suggested date and time and hired the local expert to guide our tour in a special vehicle that will take us to normally restricted parts of the park.
Departure from the Inbal Hotel at 12:30 pm
and return approx. 8 pm
We will stop along the way for toilet breaks and snacks, but not full meals
You should be "after lunch" by departure time.
We will daven mincha and maariv.
Remember, please reserve early
350 shekels
