Our hosts are Israel-friendly individuals or families who believe in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as revealed in the Tanakh. They are Christians who are grateful for the blessings they have received through the Jewish people: the Scriptures which allow us to know God, and salvation from sin and the hope of eternal life through the atoning work of Israel’s Messiah, Yeshua. Offering friendly hospitality is a practical way to express gratitude and love to the people of Israel.
