SHORESH programmes are tours with a difference. Shoresh is the Hebrew word for root and the tours are particularly designed to help those seeking to appreciate the significance of the Jewish roots of Christianity in a context that encourages spiritual understanding and growth. Romans 11:18 states, “Consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.”

Since 1986, Shoresh has welcomed thousands of people who want to explore a deeper awareness of the roots of their faith in the land of the Bible. Whether this will be your first trip or you have been here before on a Shoresh Tour, you will receive fresh insights into the Scriptures as you journey through this land of prophets, priests and kings. In this journey of discovery the Land is our classroom and the Bible our textbook.

The Shoresh guides are all committed Christians who will open up the world of the Scriptures through their extensive knowledge of the Biblical background and the Hebrew language. Shoresh Tours will at times take you ‘off the beaten track’ to enable you to experience more fully the land and the people of the Bible.

In addition to the scheduled site visits, teaching sessions and discussion, we will also meet believers from both Jewish and Arab communities. Opportunity is also given for personal quiet reflection and prayer to listen to the voice of God. Above all it is our desire that during your journey you may meet the Master, and that your experience will be that of the two who walked the Road to Emmaus whose hearts burned within them as He spoke to them on the way.

Thank you for your interest in Shoresh Study Tours. We would like you to know that our tours do not cut corners. We want to give you the experience of a life-time, so the hotels we choose along the coast and in Galilee have all been tested in the past without disappointment. If you stay at Christ Church, which is our guest house in the old city of Jerusalem, you will sense and experience the history of Christ Church itself as well as being able to safely explore the old city with everything within walking distance. As you can see below, our prices do not have any hidden extras, and we do not use up your time taking you to commercial outlets to enable the guide and coach driver to make up their salaries. We believe in paying an honest wage to those we employ, all of whom we regard as ‘family’. We hope you will receive that sense of being part of God’s family and purpose as you join us on one of our tours.
