Two main motives bring people
to Israel / Jordan / Sinai study tours. The first
motive applies to people with a historical approach
and the second to people with a social–political approach.
Our region is situated on the South-Eastern shore of the Mediterranean;
It is the meeting point between Africa, and Asia and lies in direct
proximity to Southern Europe. (See
map- in flash site) Due to its special geographical
position it became throughout history the meeting point
of many cultural influences and destined it to an extremely
tempestuous and violent history. The region has been invaded,
conquered and ruled by a great number of tribes and nations, each
one in turn leaving its mark on the region.
Between the 10'th Cent. B.C. and the 6'th Cent. A.D. the region
became the cradle of monotheism, first in Judaism,
later in its Christian form and in the 7'th century in the Moslem
format.
On a historically oriented study tour you will
be able to visit Roman, Greek, Pharonic, Mesopotmian, Byzatine,
Moslem and Jewish sites (to mention just a few); All within very
short distances from each other. You will also see the meeting points,
and the clashes, between the three large monastic religions throughout
history.
Not less important and not less interesting is the present
time complex. Many people come to the region to look at
it as a laboratory for historical processes, political
problems and social issues.
Almost every subject that might interest a person with
social and political thought finds its representation in
this region. The Israeli Palestinian conflict, the integration and
the conflicts among the variety of ethnic communities, the
meeting between the Islamic world and the western world;
the problems of an Arab minority in a Jewish majority society; the
co-existence of the Bedouin society and the Palestinian society
in Jordan; the process of transformation from nomadic society to
settlers society among the Bedouin in Israel, in Jordan and in the
Sinai and many more.
