Returning to the Holy Land

Known for her role as Debra Barone on the hit sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," actress Patricia Heaton will host the 8-day "Deborah's Rising Women's" conference and tour of Israel, kicking off on May 17.

In a statement, Heaton called it a "first-of-its-kind gathering" that will include "a three-day women's interfaith experience that celebrates faith, unity and cultural exchange between Christian and Jewish women."

An optional special tour of Israel after the conference is available. The trip includes stops in Tel Aviv, tours of the Central Coast, Jezreel Valley and the Galilee region, Jerusalem and the Gaza Envelope, where travelers can visit locations damaged in Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack.

Williamson College Professor Kristi McLelland is also planning an Israel tour for 2025. More details are to come.
