Hello LFBI Students,
We are praying about scheduling another LFBI Discovery Israel trip/tour over the 2026 Thanksgiving holiday. It would be 10 days with an itinerary very similar to past tours. Could you help us? We are trying to see the level of interest for such a trip.
Please help us by filling out and submitting this form. Your information will not be shared.
As far as safety goes, here’s our travel agents input. (She has family in Israel and was in Jerusalem when the war started, and visits often.) “I do understand the concern because the media does not let go. Since June, when the war with Iran ended, the life in Israel is 100% back to normal. Groups have been touring Israel since June! All airlines have resumed their operation, and the number of daily flights has significantly increased! That’s a very good sign because airlines do not take a chance! I’m talking about big groups that our operator in Israel has been handling (from Los Angeles (300 people!), Chicago, Florida, Boston, NY, and NJ.) Our operator is telling me that many groups are arriving from Europe, China, Nigeria. and more. My conclusion is that many feel confident to travel regardless of the news and some don’t.
The Hamas won’t stay in power! Yesterday the Israeli news stated that many Hamas terrorists requested to leave Gaza (after signing they won’t deal with terror.) Most of them left for Qatar. The army is getting more requests to let more of them go. So, while the media shows “drama”, in real life things are different. I think it will take time to settle the agreement, but it will happen. The Arab world won’t let Hamas stay there in power! Israel and the US won’t accept that either.
As for our company: we have a group booked for March and all. Other group requests are for September through early December. I hope this gives you a better idea.”
Thank you,
The LFBI Team
