Relive the tour through our videos then consider joining us on the next one!

In November 2025, Shoresh Study Tours and  CMJ USA went where no Shoresh tour had gone before: Greece!


The Israel-Hamas War has all but suspended Israel's tourism industry. This has meant a few Tour with Purpose trips, one study tour that was cut short by the brief Israel-Iran war of June 2025, and just a trickle of guest at the CMJ Israel guest houses.


In 2024, I reached out to Scott Morgan, director of Shoresh Study Tours, and pitched a Greece tour that focused on the Jewishness of Paul and his Gospel message. It turns out I was the fourth person to suggest this to Scott. So we prayerfully moved forward to schedule and promote the tour.


With the tour guide and myself, we were 29 travelers! What a joy to have brothers and sisters in Messiah from Israel, the United Kingdom, and from across the United States.


Scroll down below the contact form to find the video updates that Scott and I were making from Greece as we traveled. You can also hear the sermon I preached between the Acropolis and Mars Hill (after which Rev. Philip Bottomley led us in communion).


We're already working on improving the tour for 2026 or 2027. Would you come to Greece with CMJ USA and Shoresh Study Tours?


Yes, I'd like to go to Greece with CMJ!

On the 9th Day of Av, our Jewish neighbors mourn the many calamities of Jewish history. This fast day teaches us to not hurry past grief, to mourn with mourners

There is an urgent need to connect and care for our Jewish neighbors. Our Christian obligation stems from the Jewishness of both Jesus and the gospel. We cannot love our neighbor well if we compromise our faith in the process.
