PI650 : Issachar Briefing Tour of Israel

This practicum focuses on truly becoming a "Son of Issachar, who understood the times and knew what Israel had to do." (1 Chronicles 12:32). While including expositional and devotional study, this tour will include special briefings by:

  • The Israel Defense Forces
  • Shin Bet, the Israel Security Service
  • Mossad, the Israeli Intelligence Service

This tour will typically include sites beyond those included in PK 650 Study Tours, as well as briefings by Shurat HaDin (the Israeli Law Center), Hatzolah (medical response unit), and other organizations dealing with the challenges Israel currently faces. These usually include visits to both the Northern Border Command, and Southern Border Commands, the Golan Heights, and selected military or air bases.

Advanced applications are required of attendees for obtaining requisite access and permissions.
