We've Arrived
TBS M. Div. study tour group has arrived safe and sound in Israel! Just checked in at the Yad Hashmona Hotel and going to get some good sleep to get ready for our first day out and about tomorrow. Can't wait!
In the meantime, you can read on to learn a little about the Israeli city at which we arrived!
Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv
The biblical town of Joppa is today known as Jaffa. This was the main port of the coast before the Israelis constructed the ports of Haifa and Ashdod. The modern city of Tel Aviv was founded on the outskirts of Jaffa in 1909 and today it encompasses the ancient city. Tel Aviv means “the Hill of Spring” and it is the same name as the city of a settlement in Babylon during the Exile (Ezek 3:15). Today the Tel Aviv area is the largest metropolitan area in Israel.
