We believe that God is doing a new thing in these days, and we are simply asking Him to show us how to walk alongside one another as Jew and Christian, in humility and honour. We are not trying to change each other, but we are learning to listen to the heart of the Father and to one other as we share openly and honestly. And what better place to do that than in the most beautiful city on earth – Jerusalem?
Enjoy this unique opportunity to discover what Orthodox Jews believe and how those beliefs are reflected in daily life. Learn about the centrality of the Word of God and the importance of The Land. You will even experience what it is like to “Keep Shabbat”. Through this time together, you will come to understand more about Yeshua,(Jesus) in his Jewish context, and enjoy the richness that will be brought to your life through the interaction that we are able to have during the week.
DISCUSSIONS ~ WORSHIP ~ TORAH/TANACH STUDY~ Open conversations between Ruth and Gil as Christian and Orthodox Jew will open the way to share our thoughts and ideas. We will begin each day studying the scriptures together. We will worship together, and Ruth will lead some special sessions of worship, through her songs and with the violin.
We will visit some amazing places and meet some inspiring people! Always the focus is on the “NOW” rather than on the past. What is God doing NOW? What is He saying to us NOW?
