Hebron Tour – With Kever Rochel and Gush Etzion

Travel past ancient olive trees and simple shepherds herding their sheep and feel the stories of the Avos come to life! From Kever Rochel and Mearas HaMachpela – two of the holiest sites in Jewish tradition – to modern day sites of self sacrifice and heroism. This Hebron tour is a must for all tourists.

Here’s what we’ll see

Daven at Kever Rochel where Rachel Imeinu was buried after she died in childbirth along the way.
Travel just outside of Jerusalem to Gush Etzion. At the Kfar Etzion Museum we’ll view an emotionally moving audio-visual presentation about the history of the area. It was in these hills in the 1948 War of Independence that Jews sacrificed their lives to help save Jerusalem. View the actual bunker where they hid out and see how their grandchildren came to Gush Etzion to rebuild.
Continue on to the epic Me’arat Hamachpela in Chevron to pray at the graves of our forefathers.
Tour the Jewish Quarter of Chevron and visit the Avraham Avinu Synagogue. The Avraham Avinu Synagogue has been at the center of the Jewish Quarter since 1540.
Visit Beit Hadassah. A building that has been the backdrop for incredible struggle. All the inhabitants of Beit Hadassa were massacred during the 1929 Arab riots. And it was here that 10 women and their 40 children successfully held more than a year long strike to receive the government’s permission for Jews to return to live in Hebron.
Drive through Kiryat Arba. The Jewish settlement town built on the outskirts of Chevron.
Stop at the magnificent viewpoint at Armon Hanatziv overlooking the Temple Mount from the South (time permitting.)

This Chevron tour takes all necessary precautionary measures and will have a bullet proof bus and armed guard accompaniment.
