Two Ways to Experience Israel. One Shared Connection.
Experience Israel. Deepen Your Faith.
Discover the land of the Bible through a journey designed for your church, ministry, or group. Walk in the footsteps of Yeshua, worship on the Sea of Galilee, and connect with the places and people that bring Scripture to life.
At Yedid-Ya Travel & Tours, we combine personal care, local knowledge, and a shared love for the Lord to help you plan a meaningful journey through Israel.
About Yedid-Ya Travel & Tours
Yedid-Ya Travel & Tours is an Israel-based travel company led by Moshe Konshtat and Daniel Carmel, believers in Yeshua with a heart for welcoming Christian groups to the Land of Israel.
We plan customized journeys for churches, ministries, congregations, families, and travel partners. Each itinerary is shaped around your group’s interests, budget, pace, and spiritual focus.
Our name, Yedid-Ya, means “Beloved of the Lord,” inspired by the name given to Solomon in 2 Samuel 12:25. It reflects the way we want to welcome every guest: with warmth, respect, and personal care.
Whether you are organizing your first church tour or returning with an experienced group, we would be glad to help you plan your next journey.
Our Services
Customized Group Tours
We design itineraries around your group’s needs, from biblical journeys and church tours to family visits and programs for pastors and ministry leaders. Tell us your preferred dates, group size, and interests, and we will help you shape the journey.
Biblical Sites and Meaningful Encounters
Explore Jerusalem, the Galilee, Nazareth, the Jordan River, and other places connected to Scripture. Your itinerary can include time for Bible teaching, prayer, worship, and fellowship, according to your group’s priorities.
Accommodation and Transportation
We help arrange accommodation and transportation to suit your itinerary, budget, and comfort preferences. Hotel categories, room arrangements, and transportation details are clearly set out in your customized proposal.
Worship on the Sea of Galilee
Include a worship cruise with Sea of Galilee Worship Boats as part of your journey. Make time for prayer, Scripture, and praise on the waters where Yeshua taught and calmed the storm. Live worship can be arranged by request, subject to availability.
Local Experiences and Fellowship
Enrich your visit with experiences such as a Shabbat meal, biblical cultural activities, or meetings with local believers. These can be included according to your interests, the itinerary, and local availability.
Personal Planning and Coordination
We work with your group leader to coordinate the details of your visit, from the initial itinerary to practical arrangements in Israel. Before you travel, we clarify the agreed services and provide the relevant contact information for your journey.
Meet Your Hosts
Moshe Konshtat
Moshe brings around 20 years of experience in incoming tourism to Israel. He began by working with travelers from Eastern Europe and later, through his partnership with Daniel Carmel, expanded his focus to evangelical and Protestant Christian groups.
He combines practical experience in tour planning with an understanding of the needs of churches, ministries, and group leaders. His approach is personal: listening carefully, helping shape the itinerary, and coordinating the details that make a journey work.
Daniel Carmel
Daniel Carmel is a worship leader in Hebrew and English and the owner of Sea of Galilee Worship Boats, which he has operated since 2007.
As an Israeli believer in Yeshua, he has a heart for welcoming visitors to the Galilee and sharing times of worship, prayer, and testimony on the water.
Through his partnership with Moshe, Daniel brings this same heart for hospitality and faith to Yedid-Ya Travel & Tours, helping groups connect with the land of the Bible and the local community of believers.
Our Heart and Purpose
Our purpose is to serve our guests with care and integrity while helping them deepen their understanding of Scripture and their connection to the Land of Israel.
As believers in Yeshua, we value opportunities for worship, prayer, learning, and fellowship throughout the journey. We also seek opportunities to connect our guests with local Messianic and Christian businesses, ministries, and communities.
We welcome churches and groups from different Christian backgrounds and work with each group leader to shape a journey that reflects the group’s needs and focus.
Israel Day — Bring the Land of the Bible to Your Church
Experience Israel through an immersive virtual reality presentation, live worship, and personal conversation.
Created by Daniel Carmel and Moshe Konshtat, Israel Day brings a taste of the Holy Land to churches and communities through a 30-minute VR film, worship in Hebrew and English, and a time for questions and answers.
The program offers a meaningful introduction for people who have never visited Israel, a fresh connection for those who have, and inspiration for churches considering a future journey.
An optional Israeli food experience can also be discussed as part of your event.
Contact us to explore hosting Israel Day in your church or community. Event arrangements, language options, and availability are confirmed individually.
Planning a Journey for Your Church or Ministry?
You do not need to have every detail decided before contacting us. Whether you already have a group or are just beginning to explore the idea, we can help you consider the itinerary, timing, accommodation, and practical arrangements.
If your church has a small number of interested travelers, ask us about the possibility of joining with another church or community to form a larger group, subject to compatible dates and availability.
For Travel Partners
We welcome inquiries from tour operators and travel agents seeking local support in Israel. Contact us to discuss customized group programs, local arrangements, and worship cruises on the Sea of Galilee.
Worship on the Sea of Galilee
Make space in your Israel journey for worship, prayer, and reflection on the Sea of Galilee.
Sea of Galilee Worship Boats, owned and operated by Daniel Carmel and his family, welcomes churches, ministries, and visiting groups for a meaningful time on the water.
Ask your tour operator to book your cruise specifically with Sea of Galilee Worship Boats. You are also welcome to contact Daniel directly to arrange your cruise.
If you would like Daniel to lead worship, please request this when booking so availability can be confirmed.
