"I
have been to Israel many times, but the content, stories
and readings offered a new way to connect with the land
and its history." - Patti Kroll, Kansas City, MO

The seminar is a treat for anyone and was filled with opportunities of creating memories for a lifetime you deserve to spoil yourself. You will not be disappointed as so much of the program is brought to life by the on-site visits and thoughtful presentations. The seminar left me glowing. Errol Lipschitz, Vancouver, BC >Email Errol
I am richer for the friendships made and the knowledge gained. My understanding of the history and the future of Israel has been greatly deepened by "living" the text in context throughout the country. Perhaps, though, it has raised many more questions that will require at least one more Melton seminar to answer... it has complicated my understanding! Bobbie Blau, West Hills, CA >Email Bobbie
