Our excellent guide, Avi, is a History lecturer from the Hebrew
University. He did his
Master’s in the Holocaust. He took us to
the Holocaust Museum and guided us giving us a very good insight into the
history of events during the Holocaust.
We already knew most of what he said, but it was a very good reminder of
why the Jewish people need their own State.

| The famous Wailing Wall |
Today we visited Bethlehem.
The significance, in my opinion, was going through the check point;
through the wall that the Israelis built to protect themselves from Palestinian
suicide bombers. It reminded me of
Checkpoint Charlie and the Berlin wall.
The Church of the Nativity is a “have to go there” site but really not
at all spiritual and not really believable as the site where Jesus was born.
Tomorrow we cross into Jordan and visit the Dead Sea. We will be staying at a luxury resort and
going for a dip in the Dead Sea.
