What is the “Eretz Nehederet Tours” Program

The idea is to come in direct contact with the land, becoming familiar with the landscape, both natural and human. The tours tell the story of the Jewish nation’s connection with our Land. The participants visit historical sites, learn about the  heritage, meet noteworthy leaders and local residents, and enjoy talented guides relaying stories from biblical sources to modern-day settlement.

	The one-day tours are subsidized, so that everyone can join.
	Since the first pilot trip last October, about 20,000 people have participated in Eretz Nehederet Tours, including a large percentage of new immigrants, for whom this is their first exposure to applied concepts of land and nation.
	In a special Passover campaign, 4,500 people (92 buses) visited the Golan Heights in one day - meeting guides of a special caliber: Dr. Uzi Landau at the Kuneitra Observation Point; General (Ret.) Yossi Peled at the Gadot Observation Point; and Brig. General (Ret.) Avigdor Kahalani at Oz 77 Battalion Memorial Site.
