Kotel Excavations (Robinson's Arch)
At the SW corner of the Kotel, stand on the same road Jewish pilgrims walked before going to the Second Temple, and immerse yourself in the same mikveh many of them did.
Yom HaAtzma'ut
After nearly 1,900 years of exile, the Jewish people declared independence on May 14, 1948. Walk into Independence Hall and visit the sites where Israel was born.
Jewish Quarter
From a First Temple wall that saved western civilization, to the Byzantine-era market street, to the restored Hurva Synagogue — the Jewish Quarter is packed with history.

From the Nova Festival to the Sderot police station to the field of burned cars — walk in the footsteps of October 7, 2023, and meet some of the heroes of that terrible day.
Yom Yerushalayim
From 1948–1967, Jerusalem was a divided city. During the 1967 Six Day War, Israel unified it. Visit notable locations along the former border line.
Hebron
One of Judaism's four holy cities, where the Founding Fathers and Mothers are buried. King David established his first capital here. Visit ancient Hebron and the Cave of Machpeilah.

Starting in the 1st century and into the 5th, visit four different synagogues — including Masada and Hamat Tiberias, where you'll see a decoration you'd never imagine.
Battle of Jericho
The first city captured by the Israelites after crossing into the Promised Land. See the view Joshua's spies had from their mountain hideout.
