Surrounded by glorious walls, the Old City of Jerusalem is the highlight of the city, and the actual place where the mythologies of Judaism, Christianity and Islam occurred.   It is the Dome of the Rock at the Temple Mount, the third holiest Muslim site, from where Muhammad is said to have a…

Jerusalem is every bit as spectacular as you might imagine. Much of the city is completely unchanged since the days when Christ walked down those very same passages and through the city gates. From following in Christs last footsteps to seeing the Western Wailing Wall which holds such significance …

Some of you may have heard of the Hezbollah crisis: I was there in the midst! Many people hear about the turmoil in Israel, however, most people rarely hear of the hospitality of the people or of their amazing generosity. I experienced the Hezbollah crisis as well as the turmoil between the Arabs and the Jews as I traveled through uncharted territory and heard the story from the people who live it out on a daily basis. It is something that will forever be etched upon my mind.

Jerusalem

Our first and only day in Jerusalem, we had planned for three but can’t be helped I suppose had been so much fun just trying to get here. The camping on the rooftop in the open air was amazing. For some reason the corner of the roof we picked was empty and overlooked the dome of the rock whic…

Impressions from my ongoing trip.

I have been abroad for almost a month now and I'm ready to go home.  I'm tired.  I miss my husband, my dogs, my own bed, my own shower.  Tonight I fly back home and even though I hate flying, I'm actually looking forward to the 12 1/2 hour flight from Tel Aviv to Atlanta because it m…

We namen een andere bus terug, die ons een hele andere kant van Jeruzalem liet zien. We reden nu namelijk door de arabische buitenwijken en die zijn toch wel anders dan de joodse wijken. Bij de Damascuspoort stapten we uit en liepen we verder naar de Jaffastraat. Hier gingen we verschillende kanten…

I lived in Israel for 16 year and traveld alot there. It's my favorite country in the world, it's beautiful and unique.

Jerusalem - like anything I've ever seen before in my life. It's a place on the "must see list". This trip was supposed to bring something deep to my life. And it actually did.... almost like walking next to Jesus :) It really feels like that when you're there. The only thing that disturbs this, kind of special, mood and a picture of old times are soldiers carrying weapon in their hands. Gets scary...

I went to Israel in 1997 to study for a year at Tel-Aviv University. During the course of the year, I decided to change my plans and go to the Arava Institute of Environmental Studies. I came back in August 1999 for a graduate program and here are some of the photos
