When people ask "What does 'Ayelet' mean?", they are usually looking for the literal translation. We can answer "dawn", or "new beginning". But for all of us at Ayelet Tours, the answer is somewhat deeper. For us, and for anyone who has traveled with us since we opened in 1986, Ayelet means service. It means unique itineraries. It means offering Jewish travelers an option unlike any other in the world (and all around the world). All of this and more define each of our Jewish Heritage Tours.

So what is it that an Ayelet Jewish Heritage Tour offers that makes it so special? Take a look….

INSIGHT AND EXPERTISE…
No one but Ayelet can bring you the dynamic presentations of Professor Stephen Berk. His insight into the history of our shared Jewish experience will peak the interest of those with only a basic understanding of Jewish History. His encyclopedic knowledge of the subject will impress the most avid student of the Jewish experience. His nightly de-briefing on the daily tours provide the framework within which all that you have experienced that day can be understood.
"The trip in its entirety was meaningful and productive…an outstanding experience."-
R.O., Indiana

A TOUR THAT IS PLANNED FOR YOU…
No tour company can change your life. But what we can do is provide the right environment for you to experience all there is to offer at a given destination. When you travel with Ayelet, your tour is well planned, allowing time to truly experience the things around you. At the same time, the tour is well paced, leaving you fulfilled from all you have done each day. We understand that you did not join this tour simply to see tourist sites from a bus. Instead, you will have the opportunity to gain a richer understanding of the land you are visiting. You'll have the chance to interact with locals and to engage in discussions on topics ranging from history to politics and beyond.
"A remarkable trip…we truly appreciate all you did to make this a smooth and enriching experience."-M.F., New York

LIKE MINDED PEOPLE. LASTING FRIENDSHIPS…
Jewish Heritage is a topic dear to our hearts. When you travel with Ayelet, you travel with like-minded people. It often happens that the friendships made on our trips last well beyond the farewell dinner. Common interests bring these groups together. Shared experiences create lasting friendships.
"It was most satisfying to the mind and the soul. Yasher koach!"-R.P., Ontario, Canada

Space on each of our unique tours is limited and this year includes some of the best trips we've ever offered. Some people wait their whole lives for the right moment to do something special. Others take hold of every opportunity presented. Traveling on an Ayelet Jewish Heritage Tour is an unparalleled opportunity for any Jewish individual or Family. We invite you to take part in an amazing adventure and to become a graduate of our "traveling university"!.
