Activities:
-
Your guide will meet you at the Ashdod port
-
The Knesset - The Knesset, Israel's parliament, was named after “Haknesset Hagedolah,” the Great Assembly (of Rabbis) of the Second Temple period.
-
Supreme Court of Israel - Israel's legal system is a combination of Jewish, Ottoman, and British law adapted and molded to suit modern Israeli realities. Built by the Rothschild Foundation, the Supreme Court building, with its striking design, is a fitting home for the judicial branch of government which oversees Israel's democracy.
-
Mount Herzl - Go to Mt. Mount (Har) Herzl, the burial place of Israel's founders, the country's leaders, and military cemetery. Pay tribute to those whose vision helped build Israel and those who gave their lives to keep it safe.
-
Yad Vashem - Visit Yad Vashem, Israel’s national Holocaust museum. This presents a profoundly Jewish memorial to the Shoah (Holocaust). From its dramatic structure to its powerful exhibits, such as the labyrinthine Valley of the Communities and the underground Children’s Memorial, Yad Vashem is an unforgettable place of tribute and remembrance.
-
Chagall Windows - Gaze at the luminous colors and rich Jewish symbolism of the exquisite Chagall stained glass windows in the synagogue of the Hadassah Medical Center in Ein Kerem. The windows illustrate Jacob's blessings to his sons, the patriarchs of the 12 tribes.
-
Ein Kerem - Tucked into the hills of Jerusalem is the biblical Ein Kerem, and whose name means "the spring in the vineyard." In the Christian tradition, this is the place pf birth of John the Baptist. Step into another world while you visit this quaint neighborhood.

Other areas such as Jerusalem are drier and cooler, particularly at night. The desert, Masada and Eilat are extremely hot, but dry. It will almost never rain in the summer in Israel!
Fall (late September – November): Same as Spring, but the rain can begin towards the end of the season.
Winter (December - early March): Winter can be mild and sunny, or severe and overcast. There's often heavy rain and, in January and February, even snow at times!
