My Last Day in Israel
Penned by Penned by Joanna Reyburn on Saturday, November 25, 2006It's always surprising to
me how close everything is in Israel. Jericho is only 23 miles from
Jerusalem: Bethlehem is only 6 miles south! It's such a small humble
place.
Driving from Jericho to Jerusalem means driving through an IDF
checkpoint past the retaining wall around the eastern side of Jerusalem
meant to discourage rogue Palestinians from sneaking into the city. The
Judean Wilderness that separates the cities is inhabited by Bedoins
who, though not nomadic anymore, still herd goats and live in
accomodations which I cannot imagine.
Temple Mount and House of Prayer

Shabbat in Jerusalem
