We started out the day at Mt. Precipice, this is in Nazareth, the home of Jesus. We read Luke 4 and the story about how Jesus was rejected there. We talked about how Jesus was always in the right place at the right time, even as it related to the portion of a Torah he was to read. From there we headed...

Great day today, our team is learning so much each day. Our first stop was in was in Beit She'an. It was a vibrant city in Jesus time, Hellenism was brought here by Alexander The Great in 330 BC. It was neat to see all the different parts of the city and see the way they did life. Brian asked us after...

Our first stop for the day was in Gamla, we stopped here and talked about Vultures often times they are Eagles. The picture for us was when a Rabbi spreads his prayer shaw, his disciples were "under his wings." From there we moved up the trail a little bit and talked a lot about the Zealots. They had...

We also discussed the idea of Insula, which is a family living...

We moved up the path a bit and came to a waterfall. We talked about how life is a desert, and asked ourselves the question...

What a day! We started off the day bright and early in Bet Shemesh. We sat on a hillside and read through Samson's story. What a neat experience to read the Bible in the place where the events you're reading about happened. [topic name='beth-shemish'] From there we moved on to Tel Azekah, in the...
