It’s time to preregister for BEMA Israel (Low Contact) 2026!
What’s the difference between “low contact” and “full contact”? The low-contact trip is designed for those who are not physically able to engage our full-contact trip. The temperatures are a little cooler, and the daily amount of walking is minimized. If you are physically able this is not the trip you want to pursue, but it is a great opportunity for those who are not able to participate in our full-contact option. To compare these two trips and make an informed decision, we ask that you watch the low-contact orientation and compare it to the full-contact orientation.
How will this preregistration work? Fill out the form below for you and your party. There is only one preregistration required and permitted per party. This will enter your party into our selection process. The preregistration will close March 31.
We will then complete the initial random selection process. Those chosen names will be forwarded to GTI Tours, and GTI will contact you for registration sometime in May. If you receive notice from GTI that you have been selected, you will have a set amount of time to send in your deposit and complete your registration. Any incomplete GTI registrations will be replaced by a new random selection from preregistration until the trip is full.
There will be limited spots in 2026, as all of our 2024 participants who had their trips canceled will have the option to bypass the selection process.
We will have three scholarship slots for full-time college students. You will apply for this in the preregistration process.
DATES: March 14–28, 2026 (not final until registration is complete)
COST: Approximately $6000 per person
Price includes a 5% increase to fund our student scholarships
More details can be found on our News page.
Please watch the low-contact orientation video BEFORE preregistering.
