About our 2026 trip

Following two years of devastating war, we are anxious to return to the Holy Land, to visit and stand in solidarity with our Palestinian and Israeli partners on the ground. 

This trip will be in a posture of solidarity – listening, learning, and standing with the Palestinian and Israeli peacemakers on the ground fighting to keep hope alive. It will be an inspiring, heartbreaking deep dive into the stories, culture, sites, people, and cuisine of the Holy Land.

Across Bethlehem, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Jaffa/Tel Aviv, we will engage different organizations and people. We will learn about the history of this place, and encounter the complexity of the current reality, in all its joy and horror. We’ll enter Palestinian and Israeli homes, wind our across political, cultural, and religious boundaries, and experience the most extraordinary cuisine and hospitality on the planet.

Join us on this solidarity pilgrimage to Israel-Palestine. Learn with us what it looks like to pursue justice and peace, and examine what actions we all can take to build a future of mutual flourishing.

FAQs

Is it safe to visit the region?

The safety of our trip participants—as well as our Israeli and Palestinian partners on the ground—is our highest priority. Given the ongoing and often unpredictable nature of the conflict, we recognize that travel in the region carries a heightened level of risk. Our regional team continuously monitors the security situation and takes every precaution to ensure the well-being of our groups throughout the trip. We also remain deeply mindful of the challenges faced by our local partners, many of whom courageously advocate for peace at personal risk. We design every aspect of our trips to ensure the highest level of safety possible for the group participants and for all of our partners.

What perspectives will I get to hear from?

Our groups have the honor of being hosted by a variety of Palestinian and Israeli peacemakers committed to mutual flourishing. We will visit with Palestinian farmers, meet Israeli and Palestinian families who have lost loved ones in the conflict and now do the work of reconciliation, learn from Palestinian Christian theologians, spend Shabbat with an Israeli-Jewish family working for peace and justice for all in their community, and much more. In this exceptional moment, these encounters with community leaders, activists, peacemakers, religious figures, and more have the power to reframe our understanding of the conflict and challenge us to recognize our own part in the story. You will leave with a fuller, more human perspective—one shaped by empathy,
complexity, and hope rooted in action.

Why should I choose to travel to the Holy Land with Telos, instead of another travel group?

Telos is unique among the travel tours and pilgrimage programs to the Holy Land. As a nonprofit dedicated to mutual flourishing of Palestinians and Israelis, our trips engage with the historical, political, and religious realities head-on, and weave the critical perspectives of both Israelis and Palestinians into the trip experience. We firmly believe that this is the most honest way to travel in the region and can lead to deep transformation and a truly life-changing experience. And while we delve into difficult realities, Telos also places a high value on celebrating the beauty of the land and
the mosaic of people and cultures there.
