“Next year in Jerusalem!” The Jews have said it for centuries. For all who love the scriptures, visiting the Holy Land fills your heart and mind with feelings and images which rush back every time you open those sacred pages. And some of the most moving memories come from singing the hymns at the very places they speak of; the little town of Bethlehem, a green hill far away, and not-so-far away on Judea’s plains. To sing “He Is Risen!” at the Garden Tomb, to sing “I Stand All Amazed” among the ancient olive trees of the Garden of Gethsemane; these truly are sacred moments.
In this audio interview, renowned choral director Brady Allred invites singers with choral experience to combine voices and form a choir for a 10-day tour of Israel, including exchange performances with the Kolot Hasadeh Choir at the Harduf kibbutz, and at the acoustically beautiful Scottish Church in Jerusalem with one of Shimon Levtov’s accomplished choirs.
Along with the choral events, our experienced guides will make sure we still explore all of the important historical and religious sites which can make a visit to the Holy Land a life-changing spiritual experience in 2013. “Next year in Jerusalem!“
