Women's Journey
Experiences for Women and About Women
Women's trips can be as spiritually uplifting as they are intellectually challenging. We will create for you the ideal balance of sites, activities and meetings - the perfect Woman's Journey.
In the Footsteps of Great Jewish Women
The lives, stories and lessons of great Jewish women can be experienced in and around their original landscapes. The Matriarchs as shepherdesses, Miriam's Well, Devorah, Bruriah, Donna Gracia, Hanna Maizel, Rachel the poetess, Henrietta (Hadassah) Szold, Naomi Shemer and others have inspiring stories, still relevant - and breathtaking scenery serves as their backdrop.

The Women of Teveria (Tiberias)
Billha, Zilpah, Yocheved, Elisheva and Avigail all come together in a side road of Tiberias at the "Tomb of the Matriarchs". The stories of Rachel, wife of Rabbi Akiva, and Bruriah, wife of Rabbi Meir, allow a peek into the challenges of couple-hood in the days of the sages. Are these stories of the Talmud still relevant today?
