... and burn any papers or what not. <br>It was like walking into a movie. My heart was beating so fast.<br>There's no Israeli flag in the center where it used to be, the garden is now a bunch of overgrown weeds, the paint is peeling badly. It looks awful! I can blink back and remember exactly where everything was, which office was where and who served there. I take a little turn and see the symbol of my base. The sword represents protection, the water and the tree represent, the sea, river ...

... I understand that the Old Testament is an integral part of the story of our faith and that our faith is based upon the Jewish Messiah, that the Old Testament clearly told of a Messiah who would bring salvation to all both Jews and gentiles. That Messiah being Yeshua or Jesus. So our holy book as believers begins with Genesis 1:1 and every little detail of the Jewish people is relevant to the Christian faith. Jesus said in Matthew 5:17 ...

During our three day break in June, five of us, nicknamed by others as the cool kids, Mike Prater, Travis Clements, Dave Russell, Rebecca Imel, and myself, decided to go camping. We had been planning this camping trip for about two months. We bought camping gear, groceries, hiking gear, the works. Loaded up the rental van and headed out on Thursday morning, 19 Jun. We rented a mini van and were able stuff everything into it. However, being the smallest of the ...

... Reim drauf machen, vor allem weil man mir immer wieder attestiert, dass ich wie der absolute Durchschnitts-Israeli aussehe (man spricht mich auch immer auf Hebraeisch an). Mittlerweile ist mir aber klar, woran die seltsamen Blicke liegen koennten: Ich bin 20, laufe aber nicht mit Sturmgewehr und Uniform rum. In Israel ist es naemlich so, dass jeder Nicht-Schwerstbehinderte Jude (also praktisch alle) nach der Schule zum Militaer, den Israeli Defense Forces (IDF ...

... knew the Bible, but didn't know Jesus. Next we went over to Capernaum, just a smidge up the coast of the lake from Tabgha. Of course, in Capernaum is where Jesus called many of his apostles (Peter, Andrew, James, John, Matthew). In fact, right in the middle of this area are some ruins thought to be Peter's house and neighborhood. Right on top of Peter's house, they built a Catholic Church (suspended in a ...

... up here were much calmer than the previous ones. Apart from some physical exercises, we spent one morning up in Tzafat. Though also learning about the religious and spiritual aspects of the city, we were mostly taught about its significance in military terms. As in, how Tzafat was won by the Jewish forces, what stragetic importance it carried, and what it meant to the IDF for the future of the state of Israel. We learned the same sort of thing for a couple of other locations here in ...

... soldier struck up a conversation with me after hearing my New York accent. He had moved to Israel by himself almost two years ago from Ukraine, where the rest of his family still lived. He was not Jewish, and his reasons for coming here were interesting. He also got off at the Rehovot stop and before parting, he gave me an extra patch from his army battalion. I don't say he was annoying at all, but I will say that he had done most of the talking during our ...

... to us? Why were they all toting around toy guns &amp; having shootouts? We have no idea. Even the Israelis had no explanation, except perhaps that's how they celebrate??? The weirdest thing was that as we got closer and right up to the church, which you would think is one of the most holiest places for Christians and where Christians make pilgrimmages to Nazareth, the city was actually full of Muslims. I thought it was actually a cruel type of joke. Except for the actual ...

... at almost $20 a person, but it was a lovely place. A restored mansion with a lovely view over the city, it had beautiful hand-painted ceiling and large windows. There was free Internet (no small thing considering how expensive Internet was in this country), an amazing fully-equipped kitchen, and amazing hot showers. Since it was our anniversary the next day, we decided to stay two nights. The next day we did a little touring of the city. We visited ...

... the car we go &amp; it's off to Netanya for a quick visit to Evette's cousin. We passed this memorial to the fallen paratroopers. April 30 Yom Hashoah is a day set aside for commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. The meaning is "literally the "Day of (remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism. The date was selected ...
