Dear Friends,

I'm very excited to present you with an exceptional opportunity to visit the Holy Land. Through the auspices of the Jerusalem International YMCA and its Director General, Norris Lineweaver, GWC '67, Aurora University invites you on an amazing eight-day excursion of Jerusalem.

Our tour will include exploring Biblical sites extending from the Galilee, to the four quarters of the Old City of Jerusalem, to Bethlehem and to Qumran, site of the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

This insightful tour will follow a custom-tailored itinerary facilitated through the Jerusalem YMCA. In addition to sightseeing and pilgrimage, you will learn about the work of several locally based not-for-profit organizations and how spirituality influences leaders working for a peaceful society.

We will visit historic and sacred sites and also have the opportunity to meet with local academic and community leaders to gain insights from different faith and political perspectives.

I hope you will join me on this journey of discovery.

Shalom,

Ronald Ramer, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of Education
