Bar Mitzvah Tours

A good and succesful  Bar or Bat Mitzvah tour is based much on good time and contents planning.

The three ”MUST DO” sites for such a tour (in my opinion..) are:

Masada

- Western wall

Independence hall

Consider them a “Holy Trinity” for any tour with a 12-13 year old Jewish kid in Israel.. :-)

Other sites of special value for a Bar-Mitzvah / Bat-Mitzvah tour are:

- City of David.

- Tower of David night spectacular.

- Secret Bullet Factory (and how about live shooting too?..)

- Palmach Museum.

- Atlit camp.

- Sepphoris / Beth Shearim / Safed.

- Aaronsohn Family museum in Zicron Yaakov.

and more..

Take a trip to Israel

One of the most powerful connections to Judaism comes from spending time in Israel. It is the ultimate way to connect with your roots and watch history come alive. There are also a plethora of trips to choose from.

Former archaeologist Danny Herman, (dannythedigger.com) is known for his private tours, which focus on ancient Jewish heritage sites. He even personally participated in some of the excavations. Herman explained “I also conducts various ‘extreme’ activities, such as live shooting and Segway tours, but all in all aim to develop affiliations with the Jewish people and the land of Israel.”

A tour that mixes action and education might be perfect to suit the varying needs and interests of a family..

Jennifer and Stuart Zimmer, October 2011

Dear Danny,

 I don’t even know where to begin, but as the jet lag and the natural high from being in Israel gradually wear off,  I wanted to thank you for making our first trip to Israel such a spectacular one. It was a hit with all ages. You were the perfect guide for connecting the dots between the religious and archaeological histories that make Israel such a unique and mystical place. You really made the Bible come to life for all of us. In our hearts and minds, Israel is no longer just a distant ancestral home, a dot on a map or a subject in school. It is a living, breathing monument to a past shared by millions — and the peaceful future toward which we must all endeavor. We look forward to returning soon.

 Warmly,

Jennifer Zimmer

 PS Here are some photos I thought you might enjoy from our trip. Will send some more under separate cover.
