This is the part of the 1st temple wall that was built by Solomon!
This is an A site!! Jesus definitely taught from these steps. They lead up to where the temple was. When Neil Armstrong was here, it excited him more than walking on the moon!
These are stones from the Western wall which were hurled down by Roman soldiers during the destruction of the 2nd temple in 70 AD(CE...common era!!)
Praying at the Wailing Wall. (Western Wall)
Holocaust Museum. Children's Memorial Park. This is a Polish teacher who would not allow his Jewish students to be taken without him, so the soldiers took him, and he died with his students.
Looks like a great trip so far. Any rain in the forcast?
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing place. I hope to make it someday!

ReplyDeleteBeing on the Mt of Olives made things much cooler: 34 degrees
YOu two will appreciate that we had a deep cerebral lecture on the Dead Sea Scrolls. Awesome though.
