III. ITINERARIES 

Our trip will include up to three of the following itineraries based on participant interest: 

Track I: Yisrael: Wrestling with the Angels – Encounters with Jewish History in the Land of Israel 

A bird’s eye view of the sweep of Jewish history in the Land of Israel, examining through on-site text study the 

critical turning points in the history of the Jewish people and the land over four thousand years. Texts range from 

Bereishit to yesterday’s news, from legal to poetic literature, while the sites are studied as texts in and of themselves. 

Thematic Elements: longings for Jerusalem; social strife then and now; rejection and acceptance of central authority; Tel Aviv as a cultural 

symbol; Shabbat and Israeli culture; the Shoah and its impact on Israeli identity; the challenges of Jewish sovereignty. 

Primary sites tentatively include: Ancient Jerusalem, Dead Sea region, Tel Aviv, Modern Jerusalem neighborhoods, administered 

territories, Yad Vashem, Mount Herzl. 

Track II: Altneuland Revisited 

Herzl’s 1898 visit to Palestine led to his writing a book, Altneuland, in which he envisaged visiting the land of Israel 25 

years hence, describing what he encountered and what had been achieved. This seminar similarly encounters this 

Old-New Land, exploring the vision behind modern Israel and the challenges facing Israeli society today and 

tomorrow. Each topic is examined through pertinent texts, studied on site. 

Thematic Elements: approaches to the Land; center and periphery in modern Israel; the future of Jerusalem and territorial matters; 

minority rights in Israel society; intellectual excellence and the future of Israel; the role of the army in Israeli society; Haredim and modern 

Israel; between Law and Justice. 

Primary sites tentatively include: Tel Aviv Then & Now, Negev development towns, academic/scientific research facilities, meetings with 

soldiers, Haredi Jerusalem, Arab communities, Political Jerusalem, the Supreme Court. 

Track III: Biblical In-Sites 

What better way to engage in the study of formative Biblical texts than to go to the very places referred to, Tanakh in 

hand, and encounter the stories and their lessons afresh? This seminar explores the pivotal character and narratives 

of the central books of our Biblical heritage, examining the circumstances and ideas which helped make this, the 

Book of Books, central to Jewish identity and of great impact on humankind. 

Thematic Elements: more dilemmas of the forefathers (Genesis); the meaning of the entry and conquest of the Land (Joshua); contending 

claims to the Land of Israel (Judges, Samuel); societal anarchy and its price (Judges); apocalyptic visions and a rebuilt Jerusalem 

(Prophets); exile, return, and the image of our foremother Rachel (Prophets, Genesis). 

Primary sites tentatively include: various sites in and around Jerusalem, Dead Sea and Jericho region, Coastal Plain down to Ashkelon, 

Judean Hills, Rachel’s Tomb. 

Please note that space is limited for each of the above itineraries. Seats on the bus for each itinerary will be 

granted on a first-come first-served basis, with no more than 25 participants in each group. PAS reserves the right to 

run one, two, or three of these itineraries based on participant interest. We may decide to run two buses for one 

track (groups to tour separately) if there is sufficient interest. Please be sure to mark your track preferences clearly on 

your Trip Registration Form. 

IV. ACCOMMODATIONS 

We will stay at the Inbal Hotel in Jerusalem for the full length of the Seminar (Sunday, May 29 – Sunday, June 5), 

traveling each day to different sites around the country depending on our various itineraries. All participants will stay 

in superior standard double rooms.

V. LAND PRICES 

Total land price per person for double occupancy: $3,200 

Single Supplement: $990 

The land package includes 7 nights of hotel accommodations, professional guides and educators, PAS staff assistance, 

two meals per day, all entrance fees, numerous incidentals, and security as necessary. The price does not include 

personal property/trip cancellation insurance. 

Gratuities: In addition to the price of the trip, we ask for a contribution of $100 per participant to cover the cost of 

gratuities for our guides and educators, bus drivers, and others who will be assisting us. PAS will distribute all 

gratuities so that participants need not worry about this matter during the Seminar. 

Pre-Seminar Extension: At this time there is no set price charged by PAS for the pre-Seminar extension, as we will 

arrange group experience(s) between May 26 and May 29 only if there is a critical mass of people interested. Please 

indicate on your Trip Registration Form if you would be interested in a PAS pre-Seminar extension program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

I have been to Israel many times. Why should I join this trip? 

1. This will be a unique trip to Israel. With the facilitation of outstanding master educators, you will have the 

opportunity to join with other motivated adult learners to experience intensive, thematic on-site text study in 

small, interactive groups. We will go beyond the typical tourist experience for a deeply substantive 

exploration of the land and people of Israel in all their complexity. 

2. Even when visiting sites that you have seen before, we will be approaching them in a completely new way and 

we guarantee that it will be a valuable and meaningful experience! 

3. Traveling to Israel with other PAS members offers an unparalleled opportunity to develop new and deep 

relationships as a community. 

I have never been to Israel. Will I see the basic sites? 

First-timers are strongly encouraged to elect the Yisrael: Wrestling with the Angels track. Each of the three tracks offered 

is designed to answer different interests. We will not be traveling to the Galil or the Negev. All participants will be 

exposed to many key sites in the country and will be left with a desire to come back again. If you would like to 

extend your trip to explore more, our travel agent can help design a pre-trip or post-trip extension package for you. 

I prefer traveling with a smaller group. Is this trip for me? 

Most of the trip will take place in small groups of no more than 25 people. The full PAS group will gather on 

Shabbat and for a few other experiences during the trip. We will all be staying at the same hotel each night. 

Can I come for part of the time? 

The trip has been designed as a full, community-building experience – from arrival to departure. All participants are 

expected to join us for the full trip. If you would like to extend your trip to explore more, our travel agent can help 

you design a pre-trip or post-trip extension package. 

Will I have time to visit my Israeli relatives and friends? 

We have set aside limited free time for you to make your own plans. If you are looking for more time with Israeli 

relatives or friends, please consider coming early or leaving late. 

I am concerned about security. What precautions will be taken? 

Every security precaution will be taken for each of our groups. Itinerary plans are checked and changed if necessary 

before departure each day, to ensure the safety of all participants. 

Can I pay the land costs via credit card? 

Payment by check is preferable. PAS does accept credit cards; however, there is a 2% convenience fee added. 

What is not included in the Land Costs? 

Almost everything is included: 7 nights in Israel, professional guides, daily breakfast and at least one other meal each 

day, site admissions, special services and security. Gratuities and property/cancellation insurance are not included. 

How can I purchase travel insurance? 

You are more than welcome to arrange your own travel insurance. Our Air Travel Agent recommends contacting 

Travelex, which can be reached at 1.888.322.6776 or www.travelex-insurance.com; when prompted please reference 

OKT Travel’s location #320246. 

How do I know what to pack and what the exact itinerary will be? 

After you register via the Trip Registration Form, you will be hearing from us. In the spring, we will host an 

orientation meeting for registered participants to discuss all logistics.
