"
BLESSED IS THE ONE WHOSE STRENGTH IS IN THEE
WHOSE HEART IS SET ON PILGRIMAGE"
PSALM 84


Gila Yudkin guiding on the Mount of Olives

A pilgrimage to the Holy Land is a journey of the heart.  It’s a walk in the Land of the Bible that holds the roots of your faith.  It’s a celebration of the spirit in thanksgiving, prayer, song, and fellowship, with sacred rites such as baptism, communion, a reading of the Beatitudes, a sail on the stormy sea.  It’s a life-changing experience and guaranteed to impact forever how you “see” the Bible, hear the stories and “walk the talk.”

Anticipating a pilgrimage to the Holy Land?  Bible References will help you locate major stories pertinent to the sites you’ll be visiting.  After returning from the Holy Land, having studied Scripture “on location,” you will be reading the Bible in color, rather than in black and white.

Eager to read up on the Biblical period?  The Booklist recommends titles from my library of well-thumbed books on the Holy Land.  As a Connecticut-born Yankee transplanted to King David’s court, and a pilgrims’ guide since 1978, I have been studying the Bible, the land, and archeology for nearly three decades.

"Holy Sites: Gila's Highlights"


Interested in creative ways of visiting well-known sites, as well as those lesser-known off-the beaten-pathways?  Then subscribe to my monthly “Holy Sites:
Gila's Highlights.
”  Last month's highlight was:  "Let's rap with a Samaritan at Mount Gerizim."  This month's highlight is:  "Let's visit Gezer, Solomon's wedding gift."

If you’d like to know how other pilgrims have experienced the Sea of Galilee, the Garden of Gethsemane, baptism in the River Jordan, healing at Capernaum, prayer at the Western Wall or wandering the Wilderness of Zin, look at Pilgrims Talk.

Curious about pilgrims to the Holy Land across the ages?  Like to read profiles of celebrities?  Look at Holy Land Headliners for profiles of pilgrim celebrities, some dating back 2,000 years.

The "Slingshot that killed Goliath" is the best selling item in Gila’s Gift Shop, which also offers CDs of Israeli folk music, books, authentic widow's mites, the up-to-date Gila's Guide:  Explore Jerusalem's Soul, laminated prayers and olivewood pieces.

Tips for Tours gives you fun and practical ideas culled from collaboration with hundreds of ministers, priests, rabbis, teachers, professors, and facilitators I have team-guided with over the years.  If you are considering leading a Holy Land Tour, then you may want to check out "A to Z for Holy Land Tour Leaders."

Songs & Praise provides transliterated words for the Hebrew songs I teach on bus rides and the blessing we recite upon seeing Jerusalem for the first time.

Ask Gila answers your questions about archeology, Armageddon, biblical spices, the holy climate, excavations on the Temple Mount, Judaism, Hebrew, the Dead Sea and even holy land spiders!

Finally, About Gila is an interview with yours truly, answering questions asked, time and again, usually on that first drive from the Ben-Gurion Airport.

Have fun exploring these Holy Land resources and contact me if you’d like to further enhance your pilgrimage experience – either before or after.
