Four Weeks in Israel


It’s difficult to believe that I’ve been here in Jerusalem for almost a month. The time has flown by! Our group has blended together very well and we’ve enjoyed our time of travel, learning and prayer.

There are people here from all over the world, from many faiths and varied occupations, though many of us are priests, ministers, teachers or principals of schools. Our teachers have been Christian (Catholic and Protestant), Jewish and Muslim. There has been an atmosphere of respect and learning from each other that has developed from the first day.

It’s been sunny and hot the entire time. Galilee is hotter due to its southern location, but it’s a bit more relaxed and less busy than Jerusalem.
