The past couple of days brought us through areas of the ancient city of David that 99% of visitors (and Israelis) have yet to see. A rare opportunity brought to our group by the missions department of the Jewish Federations of North America. We emerged from a tunnel leading up from the lower valley to find ourselves within the old city, at the temple mount.
The next day, we were dragged down into the depths of unspeakable evil at Yad Vashem, once again rising out of the darkness and into the light of the hills of Jerusalem. And then to see the pure joy on the faces of dozens of 4 year olds, recently completing a 2000 year old journey with their families from Ethiopia.
Today we're going to the Galalee.
