Gush Etzion All-Terrain Vehicles

It says that every 4 amos (six feet)  that one travels in Israel is a mitzvah…some places are just too hard to reach though.  Until now! We will travel through the heartland of the Judean mountains on four-wheel drive vehicles, traversing rocky terrain and getting to those hard to reach spots of Eretz Yisrael We will see springs, and ancient roads, excavated waystations of the oleh regel (pilgrims coming to the temple) on the main Jerusalem road where our forebearers once tread. 

Tree Planting With Unity Warriors

In Gush Etzion we will meet with Ben Goldstein, the founder of “Unity Warriors” who dedicates all of his time and energy to giving back to our brave IDF soldiers and protecting the Land of Israel.  Not only does Unity Warriors facilitate donations of tactical gear, life saving bandages, as well as bulletproof vests to IDF soldiers, they have embarked on a program to plant fruit trees throughout Gush Etzion in order to strengthen our roots in Eretz Yisrael.

Gush Etzion Water Tunnels

Journey deep into history as we explore the Biyar Aqueduct water tunnels, an ancient engineering marvel connected to the sacred spring of Ein Eitam. This very spring once provided the pure water used to cleanse the High Priest before entering the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, a ritual central to the spiritual life of the Temple. Today, you’ll have the chance to walk through this 39 feet deep 460 foot long underground tunnel, where the water still flows. Step back in time and discover the source of the same water that played such a vital role in the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, and feel the connection between nature, history, and spirituality as you explore this ancient lifeline.

Gush Etzion Zipline

Get ready for the thrill of a lifetime!  At a quarter of a mile long and more than 350 feet high, the Gush Etzion Zipline is one of  the longest ziplines in Israel.  More amazing than the thrill of speeding over valleys and trees are the stunning views out into the Judean hills.
