Programs
Tantur offers a variety of Continuing Education and Sabbatical Programs for those seeking to deepen their understanding of their faith and the Holy Land. Through an interweaving of lectures and excursions, our programs introduce participants to an encounter into the sacredness of the region's geography, history, complex religious life and traditions, and communities of local people. We build free time into our programs to allow individuals or small groups to explore, experience, and replenish themselves in the beauty of Jerusalem and its surrounding areas.

"After Tantur, the daily readings from both the Old Testament and New Testament set in the culture, history, and geography of the 'Holy Land' have taken on a new life. Places, events, feasts, names are no longer just strange words of things I read about in a book - they now connect to experiences I had in Tantur, and so have become more alive!"
