Join Believers from around the world at the Feast of Tabernacles 2026 in Jerusalem
For many Christians, visiting Israel is a lifelong dream. Walking the streets of Jerusalem, praying at biblical sites, and experiencing the land where so much of Scripture unfolded brings the Bible to life in a unique and powerful way. In September 2026, believers will have the opportunity to do just that as the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem (ICEJ) South Africa hosts its Feast of Tabernacles Israel Tour.
A Journey Through the Land of the Bible
Taking place from 23 September to 3 October 2026, this all-inclusive tour combines worship, fellowship, biblical teaching, and sightseeing across some of Israel’s most significant locations. Participants will not only explore the Holy Land but will also join thousands of Christians from around the globe in celebrating the annual Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem.
This year’s Feast carries the theme “The Lord Roars from Zion,” inspired by Joel 3:16:
“The Lord also will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; the heavens and earth will shake; but the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.”
What to Expect
The tour offers a rich spiritual experience, including worship gatherings, prayer, inspiring teaching sessions, and opportunities for fellowship with believers from many nations.
Highlights include:
- Participating in the world-renowned Feast of Tabernacles celebrations in Jerusalem
- The colourful Roll Call of the Nations and Jerusalem March
- Communion at the Garden Tomb
- A special gathering at the Jordan River baptismal site
- Worship under the stars at the Kfar HaNokdim desert oasis
- Visits to biblical sites throughout Galilee and northern Israel
Travellers will also explore destinations such as Magdala, Capernaum, Cana, the Mount of Beatitudes, Megiddo, Akko, and Haifa, gaining a deeper understanding of the biblical narrative and Israel’s rich history.
A Life-Changing Experience
For many who have attended previous Feast celebrations, the experience has been more than a tour—it has been a spiritual milestone. Standing in Jerusalem alongside believers from every continent serves as a powerful reminder of God’s faithfulness and His global Church.
Whether it is your first visit to Israel or a long-awaited return, the Feast of Tabernacles offers a unique opportunity to strengthen your faith, build lasting friendships, and encounter the Bible in a fresh and meaningful way.
