Israel 2008 Travel

Israel 2008 (Intro)

This was our second trip to Israel. Mostly as a result of Jen’s little stay in hospital in Jerusalem, but more of that in another post. Israel 2006

We had spent the better part of two years planning the trip with the help of Trip Advisor, books, internet friends, and suggestions from many people. The plan was to not only see what we had missed on our first trip but also to get a better feel for the country and the people.

While we were still interested in many aspect of Christianity at this stage and we soon came to realized that “Christian” was a dirty word in Israel, and was nothing to be proud of. We very quickly started describing our selves as seekers of our Hebrew roots.

Little did we know what effect this trip would have on us. The first trip changed our thinking, this trip changed our lives …. see the summery at the end here.
