Christianity in Nazareth
More than 25 Israeli students from YVC (in Afula) and Beit Berl College (in Kfar Saba) came to learn more about a part of Israel they rarely encounter Christians in Nazareth. We enjoyed a guided tour in Hebrew of some of the major churches in the city, and then listened to speakers from Nazareth teach about Christianity and their experiences as Christians in Israel. Several of the students had never been inside a church before! It was an eye-opening day for everyone.

Corrie Remembers
Corrie Remembers is a powerful one-woman dramatization by Susie Sandager that has been performed hundreds of times around the globe. In partnership with the City of Afula, the Galilee CSJCR brought inspiration to a diverse and vibrant audience, some of whom had never heard of Corrie ten Boom before. We were joined by Jews and Christians from Afula, Jerusalem, Karmiel, Nazareth, and from many nearby kibbutzim and small communities. In the audience were students in their twenties, retirees in their seventies, and everything in between. There were Catholics, Evangelicals, Brethren of Early Christianity, secular Jews and Orthodox Jews. There were Americans and Europeans, Arabs and Jews and together, everyone was inspired by the unassuming courage and love that Corrie ten Boom embodied.

Visitors to Israel
A special privilege of being part of the Galilee CSJCR is enriching the experiences of Christian visitors to Israel, by teaching them more about the Jewish life and culture that they encounter during their time here. Have a look!

Our dynamic learning and enrichment opportunities are open to everyone: Jews and Christians, students and academics, clergy and laypeople, local Israelis and overseas visitors. At the Galilee CSJCR, we recognize that Jewish-Christian relations are about far more than just theological differences. Drawing on many fields of study, including theology, scripture, language, history and sociology, we aim to empower and equip Jews and Christians with the tools to engage each other and the complex world we face. Our vision for the Galilee CSJCR is to be a premier institute of research, teaching and encounter, an institute that, while academic in orientation, is also committed to building better relationships between communities on the ground.
