One of Israel's most precious resources is its diversity – in geography, in land, in population and in cultures: It has something for everyone! If you're looking for your way to see Israel, along with others from the lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender and queer community, we're happy to show you your way around Israel – exploring the classic sites and attractions of Israel alongside a close acquaintance with the LGBTQ community in Israel and the challenges and triumphs it has known in the previous years. Meet the gay community of Jerusalem and hear of their struggle for acceptance in their city, as individuals and as a community as a whole; plant trees in a northern forest, joining the community of the north in their pursuit for recognition and explore moments in Jewish and Israeli history in which important lessons of peoplehood, acceptance of the other and the price of unfounded hate were inevitably learned.
