Israel: The Life and World of Jesus
May 22, 2025 - June 1, 2025
Sponsored and led by Shoresh Study Tours
Hosted by:
Father Michael Novotny, Rector of Christ the King Anglican CHurch
We will trace the life of Jesus from Galilee to Jerusalem, giving particular attention to the first century Jewish context in which Jesus lived. Our goal is to gain a better understanding of Jesus’s ministry and a better application of His teachings for us today. Our tour will be guided by a well-trained and certified Messianic Jewish/Christian guide who will accompany us throughout the trip. We will also enjoy great hotels, outstanding food, and deluxe transportation. Christ the King is excited to offer this trip for the first time in 2025!
