What are the accommodations like?
For two nights of the program, the group stays in locally-owned and operated hotels in the West Bank (usually in the Bethlehem area and East Jerusalem). All hotels are frequented by international tourists, are three- to four-star rated, and have Wi-Fi. We offer optional home hospitality for one of the nights with a local Palestinian family in the Bethlehem area.
PLEASE NOTE: The views expressed in this section of the website are not necessarily those of Encounter as an organization. We support the chorus of voices of the Jewish community in engagement with the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, so long as they are consistent with our core values.
