Passages Israel

Passages Israel offers Christian high school and college students a transformative journey to the Holy Land. The program focuses on faith-rooted travel, allowing participants to explore biblical sites such as Jerusalem’s Old City, the Sea of Galilee, Nazareth, Masada, and the Dead Sea, deepening their spiritual connection and grounding their Christian identity. Trips are led by chaplains, fellows, Israeli tour guides, and armed medics, providing spiritual insight, historical context, and security. 

In addition to touring, participants engage in volunteer work to support Israeli communities affected by recent events, gaining a deeper understanding and showing solidarity through hands-on service. After the trip, alumni have opportunities to join leadership and advocacy programs aimed at combating antisemitism and championing Israel on campus and in their communities. 

Thanks to generous donors, these trips are heavily subsidized, covering flights, lodging, meals, site fees, and more. Since its inception, Passages Israel has welcomed over 11,000 students, with more than 700 becoming active advocates through the program. Overall, Passages Israel is a pluralistic and deeply immersive experience that blends spiritual discovery, historical exploration, meaningful service, and leadership training, all supported by expert guidance and a strong community network.
