Greetings! From October 6 to 18, 2023 Mary and I will be leading a 13-day trip to Israel during which time we will Explore Biblical Israel from Dan in the north to Beersheba in the south.
This trip not only includes Jerusalem and sites associated with the ministry of Jesus around the Sea of Galilee, but also some not-so-frequently visited sites such as Arad, Beersheba, Lachish (second most important Judean city after Jerusalem), Azekah (David and Goliath), Beth Shemesh (Samson), Shiloh (Tabernacle and Ark of Covenant), Mount Gerizim (Samaritan Temple), and Samaria (capital city of Ahab and Jezebel and others).
I will be giving mini-lectures along the way both on the bus and on the sites, drawing from my studies. I have spent 16 years of my adult life living in, and guiding, academic groups in Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey (including living, teaching, and guiding in Jerusalem for 7 years).
Tour Dates and Cost: October 6 — 18, 2023. Cost: $4,990 per person in Double Occupancy; add $1,365 Single Room supplement; Includes airfare from New York to Tel Aviv and return. Other departure cities are possible at extra cost.
For an Itinerary and additional information contact us soon (2foot.steps.tours+Blog@gmail.com).
You are invited to join us! Carl and Mary Rasmussen
We will be led by Master Guide, and my friend, Ofer Drori. I will be giving mini-lectures along the way both on the bus and on the sites, drawing from my studies. I have spent 16 years of my adult life living in, and guiding, academic groups in Israel, Jordan, Greece, and Turkey (including living, teaching, and guiding in Jerusalem for 7 consecutive years). This specially planned itinerary is based upon my experience of leading/guiding/teaching over 100 groups in Israel and is structured to include as many important biblical sites as possible as we study the Bible in the Land of the Bible.
A portion of our group as we descend into the ancient underground water system of Jerusalem.
Our Master Guide Ofer Drori explains the mosaics in the first-century synagogue to a portion of our group at Magdala—on the shore of the Sea of Galilee (Yam Kinneret).
You are invited to join this very special trip in October 2023!
