The Old City- Jerusalem

 

The Old City

Jerusalem, Israel

March 2019


I've wanted to go to Israel for years.  But I didn't want to go on a religious tour. I don't have any interest in Jesus. However, it is very hard to find a trip to Israel that doesn't center around him.  And let's face it, he is good for the tourist industry.  So, for the most part, all tours honor Jesus.

So I found a tour and it seemed neutral. Our guide was Jewish.  But, it turns out, he liked Jesus. He admired his teachings.  So we heard a lot about Jesus. 

As I traveled the country, it seemed as if everyone was stuck in this time warp of conflict amongst the three big religions: Catholic, Jewish and Muslim. No one
