WHY

BECAUSE ANTI-SEMITISM ISN’T GOING AWAY. One would think it died with the liberation of Auschwitz and Dachau in 1945, but it is thriving more than ever—and set in the tumultuous soil of the Middle East. FAI and IAI oppose Jew-hatred in all its forms, from violence and blood libels to BDS and anti-settlement campaigns.

BECAUSE THE MIDDLE EAST IS AT A CRITICAL CROSSROADS, bringing great trouble and affording great opportunity.

BECAUSE AFTER 50 YEARS of trying to trade the Golan Heights for peace, Israel is keeping it and the US is recognizing it. The Syrian regime held the Golan for a little more than twenty years; since the Israelis secured it fifty years ago, the fate of the Heights has been in question. This year—2020—is a significant year of transition to settle the fate of the Golan Heights. We believe it’s an appropriate time to evaluate what this means for the region and prayerfully strategize how to engage moving forward.

BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS MATTERED. The Golan Heights have rich biblical, historical, political, and prophetic significance. And history has always shown us that when the Golan falls, Jerusalem falls. Standing with Jerusalem requires we stand with the Golan Heights.

BECAUSE THE GOLAN HEIGHTS ARE GORGEOUS AND DEMAND EXPLORATION. This isn’t your average conference where we sit in chairs and listen to lectures. The Golan Heights feature some of the most beautiful landscapes, trails, and new adventures—all begging you to come and get your boots filthy.

BECAUSE IT’S DELICIOUS. The Golan Heights is home to some of the world’s best food and drink. Every day will be full of incredible local meals, beer, wine, coffee, and more. And then we’ll end every day with a banquet buffet—the whole festival family will enjoy dinner together (included in registration).

BECAUSE THE LORD IS WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP AND OBEDIENCE. The Golan has always been a place of revelation, encounter, and consequence for redemptive history.
