Passages

In Capernaum, Jesus taught in the synagogue, cast out an unclean spirit, healed Peter’s mother-in-law, and forgave and healed a paralyzed man lowered through a roof by his friends. (Mark 1:21–34; 2:1–12) Along the shores of the Sea of Galilee, these accounts remind us of His authority, compassion, and power to forgive. Visiting Capernaum connects the words we read in Scripture to the places where these events unfolded. Come experience Israel with Passages!

Eight years ago today, 11 Jewish worshippers were murdered in an antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Today, we remember the 11 lives lost, honor their memories, and stand with the Jewish community in rejecting antisemitism in all its forms. May their memories forever be a blessing. 🕯️

Two young Israeli soldiers lost their lives today in a terror attack. 🕯️ Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Roytman, 23, from Ashkelon, served as a squad commander. 🕯️ Sergeant Yuval Shai Svilem, 20, from Hod Hasharon, served as a combat soldier. Both served in the Ari Battalion (775) of the IDF’s Search and Rescue Brigade. Our hearts are with their families, loved ones, and fellow soldiers as they mourn this devastating loss. May their memories forever be a blessing. 🇮🇱

43 years ago today, on October 23, 1983, Hezbollah terrorists carried out coordinated suicide bombings targeting American and French peacekeeping forces in Beirut, Lebanon, killing 241 U.S. Marines, sailors, and soldiers, 58 French military personnel, and 6 civilians. The American and French forces were serving in Lebanon as part of a multinational peacekeeping mission. The attacks underscored the devastating threat posed by Iran-backed terrorism and remain one of the deadliest acts of terrorism against American military personnel in U.S. history. Today, we honor those who lost their lives, remember their service and sacrifice, and stand with the families who continue to carry their loss. 43 years later, we have not forgotten. 🇺🇸

Young Christian leaders from across the country came to Washington, DC, with Passages for the Israel Impact Summit, and they left ready to lead. They toured the Museum of the Bible, learned what terms like Christian Zionism really mean, and built friendships that will last well past the weekend. They’re going home ready to share the truth about Israel with their campuses, churches, and communities. Passages brings a new generation of Christian leaders to Israel to deepen their faith, build lasting bonds with the Jewish people, and return home equipped to strengthen America.
