Guides are required to attend all ongoing education sessions and all monthly guide meetings. Guides must set aside all Tuesday mornings for Museum-related activities. The highlights tour offers an overview of the Museum according to the needs of the public. The specialized tour elaborates on the Museum's Archaeological Treasures, on Jewish Ceremonial Art and Ethnography, or on the Arts collections. The Shrine of the Book tour views the Dead Sea Scroll exhibits.
Additional training is provided when temporary exhibitions are to be guided.
Tours for VIPs and special groups are frequently requested by the Museum. A guide is contacted individually for these tours, some of which take place in the evening hours. Guides are encouraged to attend courses at The Hebrew University, Ben Zvi Institute, or other recognized institutions. The Center for Jewish Art and other specialist societies often run seminars during the year. Usually, special arrangements can be made for attending these programs.
