Kol Hamacabee The Center for Torah Zionism with offices in Kfar Tapuach, Israel and Boulder, Colorado, has announced the itinerary for its Ultimate Zionist Mission to Israel, March 14-24, 2005. The tour is drawing participants from across the United States and will focus on connecting with communities in Jerusalem, and the Jewish settlements of Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. According to Kol Hamacabee director Matt Finberg, “Although our intention is to bring chizuk (support) to our holy brothers and sisters threatened not only by terrorism but by government deportation, we will receive back tremendous chizuk as well in addition to learning a great deal and making lifelong friends.”

The tour may also be one of the best values in packages to Israel. The land package is only $714.00 for double occupancy and $864.00 for single occupancy. The tour organizers have allowed mission participants to make their own air travel arrangements to enable them to use frequent flyer points and make the most convenient connections.

An extension option is available through March 28 for an additional $400 per person for those who wish to continue touring with the group and then spend Purim in Jerusalem.

The tour will be led by long-time settler activist and government licensed guide Era Rapaport. Featured speakers currently include Kfar Tapuach community leaders David Ha`ivri and Lenny Goldberg; Kedumim Mayor Daniella Weiss; MK Effie Eitam; Moshe Feiglin; Women in Green founder Ruth Matar; and Hebron community leader David Wilder. The group will be addressed by Rabbi David Grossman (nationally recognized as the Disco Rabbi for leaving the safety of his frum community to rescue at-risk secular Jews in Israel by entering their worlds in discotheques and bringing them back to Torah), esteemed Breslov Rabbis Avraham Greenbaum and Ozer Bergman, and young leaders of the emerging political force known as The Hill Top Youth.
