This was a most amazing trip - truly an adventure. I loved the opportunity to be of some help to Israeli farmers in the north, staying and engaging with residents at a working kibbutz, and meeting and being of some encouragement to the 'locals" in general. The small-group format encouraged a higher level of engagement, both with the people and the information, as well as access to some very special places in the Land. Unlike with other tours, Doug and Avi allowed time at each site to be quiet, alone, and absorb the atmosphere and some very insightful teaching. Highly recommended; these experiences will never be forgotten.
