You will have special access to people and places generally beyond the reach of most visitors. You will start by being a part of a two-thousand-year-old celebration as in King David’s time, attended by thousands of pilgrims who journeyed for miles, many on bare feet. The tour will give each of you an idea from their Judaic history – both from an archeological and cultural perspective. You will be amazed at the First Temple traditions that are being played out even today. On your visit to Ethiopiam ou will learn of how this country is tied into the Israel of today and its promise of the future hope.
