ABOUT

Passages provides the opportunity for intensive study of Scripture, spiritual formation, and wrestling with the toughest questions around Israel’s geopolitical conflict. We aim for students to be enriched in faith and empowered to engage others on the importance of Israel. 

Walk Where Jesus Walked

Experience significant sites from the Bible as you walk in the footsteps of Jesus and men and women of faith, and learn how to integrate their trust, obedience and courage into your own discipleship.

Experience Modern Israel

Israel is not only rich with history, but also with culture, rich diversity, ingenuity, and challenging environments. Enjoy the culture and recreation Israel has to offer. Develop your understanding of the perspectives of diverse persuasions and begin friendships through listening and dialogue.

Become an Advocate

Equip yourself to rise to the challenge of courageous Christianity, to be a bridge-builder between peoples in conflict, fighting antisemitism and advocating for Israel’s right to exist within your own context and calling.
