Description:

Devote a day to understanding more about the Jewish way of life. Tour Jerusalem's Old City and New City, explore traditional communities, and reflect at memorials as your knowledgeable guide educates you along the way. Look out from the summit of Mount Scopus, and admire the view of the region.

Begin with a trip up Mount Scopus to marvel at the city and neighboring Judean Desert in the morning light. Descend to enter the Old City through the Zion Gate and learn about its significance in the Six-Day War.

Visit the tomb of King David on Mount Zion, and then take a walk along the Cardo – an ancient Roman Road – with your guide providing historical perspective as you stroll.

Observe the 16th-century Sephardic synagogues, recently restored to their former glory, and proceed to the Western Wall to view the site of Jewish pilgrimage. Continue on to Mea Shearim and learn about the distinctive lifestyle of the ultra-orthodox communities.

Drive to Mount Herzl to see Israel's national cemetery before making a final stop at the Yad Vashem, a memorial to the Holocaust and the ideal place to reflect on all you've seen.
