synagogue to welcome in shabbat

Isaiah 60: "You will not need the sun for light by day, nor the moon for radiance, ADONAI (Elohim) will be your everlasting light, your God shall be your glory. Your sun will never set; your moon will not wane; ADONAI will be your light forever, your days of mourning will end."

-From the Siddur (prayer book)

Hezekiah's Tunnel

why? because i rocked the head lamp!

"And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth... He spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, and said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam... He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing."            (John 9:1-7)

Pater Noster

Chapel of the Ascension
...apparently that is Jesus' footprint right there. ;)

"And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them, and carried up into heaven." (Luke 24:51)

amphitheater at Hebrew University...site of the re-enactment of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. brought to you by Susan, MJ, Amy, and Brooke!

....oh they say when you're married in June!

located in the Garden Tomb...
if there is anything i have learned while being here, it's that we all need to pray for the peace of the Holy Land.

before heading off to Jordan we decided to take a quick trip to Tel Aviv!

the sun was shining, the ocean waves were flopping onto the beach, and Brooke was busy getting tan!
