Shanah Tovah — Happy Jewish New Year!

Evening of Friday, 11 September 2026 – Sunday, 13 September 2026

There is something beautiful about the idea of beginning again.

Rosh Hashanah gives us that opportunity. As the Jewish New Year arrives, we are invited to slow down, reflect on where we have been, give thanks for the blessings we have received, and look ahead with renewed hope. It is not simply the turning of another page on the calendar. It is a moment to reconnect — with our faith, our families, our traditions, and the things that give our lives meaning.

The Sweetness of Tradition

Some of the most familiar Rosh Hashanah traditions carry beautiful messages.

The shofar calls us to awaken our hearts and pay attention to what truly matters. Its sound can be both stirring and hopeful — a reminder that a new beginning is possible. And then there are the apples and honey. There is something wonderfully simple about dipping a crisp apple into honey and sharing the wish for a sweet year. It is a small tradition, but it carries a big hope: that the months ahead will bring goodness, happiness, peace, and blessings.

These traditions connect generations. They remind us that while each year is new, the values we carry forward — faith, gratitude, family, hope, and love — remain precious.

Making Room for New Beginnings

A new year also gives us a chance to think about what we want to carry with us and what we might gently leave behind. Perhaps it is a chance to spend more time with the people we love. To be more grateful for ordinary moments. To make room for kindness. To reconnect with places and traditions that bring us joy.

Whatever a new beginning means to each of us, Rosh Hashanah reminds us that there is always room for hope.

A Prayer for Israel and the Holy Land

As we enter this new year, our hearts also turn toward Israel and the Holy Land. We pray for peace and protection, for comfort for those who are suffering, and for a future filled with hope. May God watch over Israel and its people and bring lasting peace to the land.

For many of us, the Holy Land holds a special place in our hearts. We look forward to the day when we can once again travel there freely, return to our favourite places, and experience the joy of walking together in the footsteps of the Lord.

A New Year to Share

To mark this special season, we invite you to enjoy our short Rosh Hashanah celebration video and share in a little sweetness, joy, and tradition.

‍Shanah Tovah!

May your New Year be filled with sweetness, peace, love, good health, beautiful memories, and abundant blessings.

The bags aren’t packed yet, but the excitement certainly is!

Our Biblical Türkiye Tour is confirmed, and from 27 November to 8 December 2026, we’ll be setting off on a journey through some of the most fascinating biblical and historical places in Türkiye.

We’ll walk through the Seven Churches of Revelation, explore ancient Troy and Pisidian Antioch, experience the vibrant city of Istanbul, and marvel at the extraordinary landscapes of Cappadocia.

But this journey is about more than the places we’ll visit.

It’s about seeing Scripture in a new way — connecting familiar stories with the places where history unfolded. It’s about slowing down to reflect, sharing meaningful conversations, enjoying meals together, and growing in fellowship along the way.

And perhaps that’s what makes travelling together so special: the memories we create between the destinations can be just as meaningful as the destinations themselves.

The Journey Is Confirmed — Will You Join Us?

We’re excited, we’re getting ready, and we’d love for you to be part of it.

There are just a few seats remaining, so if you’ve been thinking about joining the journey, now would be a good time to take a closer look.

Rising from the valleys of central Türkiye, Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys stand like a stone forest, their tall, cone-shaped forms creating a landscape that feels almost otherworldly.

Cappadocia is more than valleys and churches — even the chimneys themselves tell a story where nature, history, and faith meet.

From Ash to Stone

Millions of years ago, volcanic eruptions blanketed the land in ash that hardened into soft tuff. Wind, rain, and snow slowly carved this rock into the striking pillars and towers we see today — a landscape that looks sculpted by hand.

Nature as Shelter

Because the tuff was easy to carve, people shaped these formations into dwellings, storerooms, chapels, and monastic cells. At Paşabağ (Monks Valley), some fairy chimneys still hold chambers once used by monks for solitude and prayer. Their mushroom-shaped tops make Paşabağ one of Cappadocia’s most memorable sights.

A Land of Faith

Cappadocia holds a special place in Christian story. The apostle Peter addressed believers here (1 Peter 1:1), and generations of Christians carved sanctuaries into this rock. What began as a land shaped by fire became a refuge for worship and communion with God.

Psalm 32:7 captures this spirit: “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” Standing among the chimneys, the verse feels alive.

Enduring Beauty

Formed by nature, shaped by human hands, and sanctified by faith, Cappadocia’s fair chimneys remind us how unlikely places can become symbols of refuge and devotion. Their beauty endures as testimony to creation and faith intertwined.

Join the Journey

Come and experience Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys for yourself — not just as breathtaking scenery, but as part of a living story of faith and history. Walk through valleys, step into ancient chapels, and let the land speak to your heart. We’d love for you to be part of our upcoming Biblical Türkiye tour and share in this unforgettable journey.

🏛️Memories Beyond the Journey

Walking through the ruins of Ephesus, gazing across ancient Pergamum, or reflecting on the faith of the early believers in Smyrna, the Seven Churches of Revelation come alive during our Biblical Türkiye tour. These historic places leave you with stories etched in your heart. But as the journey ends, you may wonder — what gift can I bring home to share a taste of this land?

For many travellers, the answer is a box of authentic Turkish delight.

📜A Sweet with a Story

Known locally as lokum, this sweet became famous in the late 18^th century when Istanbul confectioner Hacı Bekir perfected his recipe with sugar and starch. Once an exclusive luxury enjoyed in Ottoman palaces, lokum quickly became a national symbol of generosity and hospitality.

☕Flavours and Hospitality

Flavoured with rosewater, citrus, or mint, lokum is often filled with pistachios, hazelnuts, or walnuts. Fragrant rose remains the classic choice, while rich pistachio and vibrant pomegranate are traveller favourites.

In Turkish culture, offering lokum is a heartfelt gesture of welcome. Served at celebrations and family gatherings, it traditionally accompanies a cup of Turkish coffee or tea, perfectly balancing the drink’s rich bitterness.

🥮A World of Sweets

Türkiye’s dessert traditions go well beyond lokum. You’ll discover golden, honeyed baklava, warm kunefe filled with melted cheese, and nutty halva — each reflecting centuries of tradition and artistry.

🎁Bringing the Memory Home

While our itinerary focuses on the Seven Churches of Revelation, you will also immerse yourself in Türkiye’s vibrant culture. On our first day, we explore Istanbul’s Spice Bazaar, where colourful trays of lokum sit among fragrant spices. You will also find plenty of opportunities to pick up some along our travel route or at the airport.

A box of lokum is more than a gift — it is a sweet reminder of your journey to share with those back home.
