About Shoresh Study Tours
CMJ, The Church’s Ministry among Jewish People, was established in 1809 and con-tinues to bridge ethnic, religious and national boundaries, sharing the reconciling love of Jesus with both the Jewish People and the nations. Shoresh Tours, a branch of CMJ, is a non-denominational ministry and all of our staff and tour guides are committed followers of Jesus (in Hebrew-Yeshua). Shoresh is Hebrew for root. Since Yeshua Himself is the root, we focus on Him. In doing so, we take into account the fact that historically Yeshua acted and spoke as a Jew amongst Jews in the Land of Israel. Shoresh Study Tours are designed to give you new ears to hear biblical teachings in their original context and to help you grasp the Jewish roots of New Testament faith. Join a Shoresh Study Tour and be introduced both to God’s heart for the Jewish peo-ple and to the living body of Messiah in Israel, composed of Jews, Arabs and others. We hope that having experienced what the God of Israel is doing in the Land today, you’ll take home deeper understanding of Messiah and a vision for Israel, and will add your prayers to that end.
