The COVID-19 pandemic brought some uncertainty to our lives: no one knows when we will be able to travel again, fly to different destinations. But now is the time to start planning for the day after!
We wanted to start sharing with you some photos from different places in Israel which will inspire you and give you some ideas.
You are invited to join us, on this journey and discover new places! Please feel welcome to share with us your photos and insights and we will be happy to share them!
Today, we are sharing with you Beit Jamal Monastery, located south of Beit Shemesh.
Beit Jamal Catholic Monastery was established in 1919 by the Salesian Monks. During the Roman era, the site was a village called Kfar Gamala, named after Rabbi Gamliel, who was a resident of the village.
Today the monastery welcomes day visitors to come and see the beautiful churches and also taste the locally made wine, honey and olive oil sold in the monastery store by the Salesian monks and holds bi-weekly Saturday concerts.

"And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised ; for to build the house of the Lord, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer." (Kings I, 9:15)
Megiddo, or Armageddon, one of the most important cities of biblical times, is mentioned in the Holy Bible 18 times. According to the tradition, King David conquered the city, and "the chariot city" reached its peak under King Solomon, who rebuilt it as a royal city, administering the northern part of the kingdom.
It is also mentioned in the New Testament's Book of Revelation (16:16), named as the site of the "Battle of the End of Days".

4 years ago, during routine tests in Ramat Beit Shemesh prior to the construction of an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood, archaeologists have unearthed a 1,500-year-old Christian site, dedicated to a mysterious glorious martyr, who might be a she, according to the intriguing mosaic.
Some of the discoveries are now on display in the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem.

Eighteen years have passed since airplanes took aim at the World Trade Center and brought them down.
The KKL-JNF 9/11 Living Memorial Plaza is the only memorial outside the US that lists the names of the victims. The memorial is also partly made from metal salvaged from the ruins of the Twin Towers.
Last night, in a ceremony held at the Memorial, a “Tribute in Light”, two illuminated pillars 300 meters tall were lit up, shining from Emek Ha’arazim all the way to Route 1.

"That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them." Luke 24: 13-15

Archaeologists believe they might have discovered the location of Emmaus, where Jesus made his first appearance before two of His disciples after His resurrection.
The researches suggest that the hill of Kiriath Ye'arim, a hill overlooks the approach to Jerusalem and the adjacent town of Abu Gosh could be identified as the biblical town of Emmaus and this could have broader implications on for biblical archaeology and Christian history.

Archaeologists believe they might have discovered the location of the town of Emmaus, where Jesus was said to have first appeared before two of his disciples after His resurrection.

The ongoing excavations of the Hippos-Sussita Excavations Project recently unearthed a mosaic depicting fish, birds and baskets of what may be bread.
The traditional location of the Jesus loaves and fishes miracle is across the sea at the Church of the Multiplication, which houses a famous mosaic depicting two fish on either side of what is thought to be a bread basket.

Colorful 6th-century Byzantine design indicates miracle took place on the opposite side of sea from traditionally assigned spot, archaeologist proposes; mosaic expert disagrees

Did you know that there's a Jewish Valentine's Day too? and it's right around the corner!
Tu B'Av is the Jewish Day of Love, celebrated on the 15th day of Av (the 5th ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar), a post-biblical day of joy and served as a matchmaking day for unmarried women in the Second Temple period.
Nowadays, it is gradually becoming a Hebrew Jewish Day of Love and we wanted to share with you this romantic initiative of Tel-Aviv Municipality.
The municipality is offering couples the chance to declare their love and offer marriage against the backdrop of City Hall, lit up in the red and white colors of the day.

Want to plan your next trip to the Holy Land? Contact us: http://faithandheritagetours.com/ and maybe you will too, propose to your loved one in Israel!

Tel Aviv gives lovers the chance to pop the question in style on the eve of Tu B'Av, Israel's Valentine's Day

The Burnt Church in Hippos-Sussita was discovered some 15 years ago by the ongoing Hippos-Sussita Excavations Project, but was revisited this summer in search of firm dating for conflagration that both destroyed and preserved the church.
The church is not ready yet to be viewed by the National Park visitors, but the archaeologist, Dr. Michael Eisenberg, hopes to complete a partial reconstruction in a few years.

So far, 'Burnt Church' site at ongoing Hippos-Sussita Excavations Project has revealed three texts -- all of which were misspelled and had grammar errors, say archaeologists

"Then they came to Elim, where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees, and they camped there near the water."
Exodus 15:27

We are very excited to learn that two new technicolor biblical mosaics, one of them depicts the story of Elim, were recently uncovered at a 1,600-year-old synagogue in the Galilean town of Huqoq by Prof. Jodi Magness!

Two biblical scenes recently uncovered at a fifth-century synagogue point to a preoccupation with the end of days, and perhaps a rebellious spirit

"When he had finished praying, Jesus left with his disciples and crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was a garden, and he and his disciples went into it." John 18:1

The Kidron Valley is no doubt one of the most beautiful places in Israel and Unfortunately, this area suffers from a sewage hazard and neglect due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But it seems like the solution is near! The Israelis and the Palestinians are about to cooperate and work on an environmental solution.

The Faith & Heritage staff visited Bethlehem last week and the unique Christian sites it offers for pilgrims and other travelers. Bethlehem is a quiet, pleasant and welcoming city that offers beside its famous religious places a peaceful atmosphere and an awe inspiring feeling.
The Church of The Nativity which stands in the center of town is the traditional birthplace of Jesus and is visited by millions of pilgrims each year. Manger Square, surrounding the church with its many cafes, restaurants and shops, along with the narrow streets of the old city offer the visitor a unique area to stroll in.
The view over the Judean Mountains and Jerusalem is stunning!

In February, we have had the honor of meeting two inspirational men: Justin Skeesuck and Patrick Gray, childhood friends who went on an inspirational journey through Spain, Camino de Santiago also known as the Way of St. James.

Justin, has a rare progressive autoimmune/neuromuscular disease that functions similar to ALS in that it attacks the muscles and stops them from functioning correctly. He had been in a wheelchair since 2010, unable to move his upper or lower body.

But with the dedication and great help of his friend, Patrick, they both went on a 500 miles journey.

Listening to their story and watching their documentary, I'll Push You, left us in awe!

A great place to visit in the Nazareth area is the Nazareth Village. This is an open-air museum that reconstructs and reenacts village life in the Galilee in the time of Jesus. The village features houses, terraced fields, wine and olive presses all built to resemble those that would have been in a Galilee village in the 1st century.
