Is Seeing Believing?
or is
Believing Seeing?
“When Moses stood at Mt. Nebo and looked over the land of Israel, he requested of the Holy One permission only to enter the land and see it (briefly).
Is it not obvious that anyone who enters the land of Israel sees it?
No it is not obvious!
Many people enter the Land of Israel and never see it!
Many people enter the Land of Israel and only see its surface!
Many people enter the land of Israel and never see its inner beauty!”
The Israel Tour Guide is a guide to seeing!
Israel Celebration Tours is committed to the concept that the Israel Tour guide is the entry point.
We know that an Israel Tour guide opens doors and opens eyes and indeed can help to open hearts.
ICT understands that an Israel experience is not only another tour of another country or a series of sites.
We understand that the tour guide is in fact an Israel mediator and as such can make all the difference.
What makes for a special guide?
