Join Rabbi Simcha Hochbaum for a rare, deeply learned guided tour of Hebron's Jewish heritage sites — the Cave of the Patriarchs, Tel Hebron, and the ancient Jewish Quarter — tracing 4,000 years of unbroken connection to the city of Abraham.
What to expect
Rabbi Hochbaum leads you through the Jewish Quarter of Hebron, sharing the history of the ancient community, the 1929 massacre, and the modern Jewish return to the city. The centrepiece is the Cave of the Patriarchs — Judaism's second holiest site — where the rabbi's commentary transforms the stones into living scripture. Tel Hebron's archaeological excavations reveal layers of Canaanite, Israelite, and Byzantine settlement. The tour is intimate, scholarly, and profoundly moving.
Good to know
Tours generally run Wednesdays — verify your cruise port day aligns, and contact the Hebron Fund directly by phone or WhatsApp at +972 52-431-XXXX to confirm and pre-book. Dress modestly; head coverings are provided for men at the Cave. Cost is among the most accessible of any private expert-led heritage experience in the region.
