WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN OUR UPCOMING TOURS !
DATE: TBD (ONE DAY TRIP!)
VENUES: We’ll begin with Mazkeret Batya, near Rechovot. This area was built by Jewish Russian Farmers in 1882 with a dream to build a Jewish agricultural colony to serve as a model for future refugees fleeing persecution. However, it wasn’t so simple. Disagreements versus peace, Baron Rothschild and Shemitta, are just of the intriguing and powerful subjects that envelop this enchanting little village. We’ll see the museum of Rav Muhliver, the Synagogue and even the working pump.
After this, we will be guided at the Ayalon Institute. This a museum of an old bakery and laundermat. What’s so interesting about that you ask? Well, there was a heavily guarded hidden secret downstairs, that was used during the war for the Israeli army, and if we tell you what was made there, it wouldn’t be a secret! Be ready to be surprised!
Next we travel on to IGUDAN – The Israel Waste Water Treatment Center, where ironically nothing goes to waste! Learn the technology, see the results, watch the film and visit the actual pools.
We’ll end our long and fascinating day with a relaxing view of the sea at the Palmachim beach, weather permitting!
GUIDE : Sam Finkel, Author of “Rebels in the Holy Land”, will tell us all about MB. This is the book all about Mazkeret Batya ! Hundreds of pages, tons of photos. The whole story with all the fine details, available on Amazon HERE . No time to read the book? That’s fine too, just join the tour :-). At the other venues, they provide us with their guides.

The Greybeard Experience was started 10 years ago to provide stimulating and educational programming to the senior anglo population of Ramat Beit Shemesh. As a result of our success, we now have participants from Yerushalayim, Telzstone, Betar, Natanya, Maale Adumim, Efrat, Ranana, and other parts of Israel, as well as the United States, Canada, England, and South Africa.
Our primary focus has been three day, two night tiyulim and day trips where we have explored the majesty and mystery of Eretz Yisrael. We cater to the religious community and have designed our tiyulim with a true balance of ruchnius and gashmius.
We invite you to join us. You will be glad you did.
