Me leaving my mark under the center! Went under May 26, 2010
Me playing the YMCA bells for all of Jerusalem to hear! Did this on May 30.
Me next to the YMCA bells
At the YMCA tower!
Me making pita bread--Jewish style!
My friend Lance holding up an actual Torah scroll! The Torah is all handwritten and Jews have to have a degree in Torah writing. Plus, they have to take a ritual bath before writing the name of God--every. single. time!
Me at Neot Kedumim. Neot Kedumim is a park where you can experience Bible times through all your senses. http://www.neot-kedumim.org.il Went there May 23rd. The Torah scroll and making pita bread were also from this place.
My friends and I with our Jewish teacher Ophir, right before going to a synagogue for Shabbat (Sabbath) services. June 4th
Me in Hezekiah's Tunnel! Went here June 7
Hezekiah built a tunnel to secretly divert the water from the Gihon spring to inside the city walls to the pool of Siloam. Because of its importance (Israel would not exist were it not for the Gihon spring), Solomon was anointed King here.
This is the point where the two digging parties for the tunnel met--quite an impressive engineering feat of the time!
