Looks like we will change the date of our Israel trip to Nov 3rd to 17th. No final decision will be made until we see if any problems arise from the Red heifer sacrifice. This will also coincide with the torah portion L**h L**ha.

We need to make some decisions on going to Israel in the Fall or delay it a little longer. We first need to find out who is still interested and what their thoughts or concerns are. We have options since nothing has been finalized yet but we need to know where everyone is at concerning the trip. Please message or email me as to your status.

If you are planning on going to Israel with us for Sukkot 2024 please start working on your passports. I have heard from some it has taken them 4 to 9 months to get their Passports.
The first thing you need to do is get a Passport or make sure your passport is up to date.
If it expires before April 28th 2025 you will need to get it renewed.
Next is, be sure we know your planning to come.
We need to make a list so we know how many to make reservations for.
You don't have to make it a definite yes yet. But we do need to know how many to anticipate.
We will be booking flights around December about 10 months in advance of the trip so we can get the best prices.

What would you think about a stay in the rural Biblical heartland of Israel, in the land of the Patriarchs, the land where Abraham, Isaac and Jacob lived and walk, the land of psalms where David composed his psalms and where he was tested by God for his kingship. The land breathes the Biblical history. Welcome to experience it yourself with your family, your friends or you Bible study group

The Herodium, also called Har Hordus (meaning “Mount Herodes”), is an archaeological site and ancient palace fortress, located at Ar-Rahniah in the Judaean Desert on the West Bank.
Herod I, also known as Herod the Great constructed the palace/fortress, along with a small town between 23-15 BC. Herod was a Roman client king of Judea (referred to as the Herodian kingdom), where he commissioned the construction of many major colossal building projects, such as the port at Caesarea Maritima, the fortress at Masada, the Tomb of the Patriarchs in Hebron, and the renovation of the Second Temple in Jerusalem.

Can you distinguish the the ancient roadmarkers and threshold?

The Romans marked the ancient Biblical paths. Now stil we can distinguish these old paths.

This is the ancient route from Beersheva upto the Hebron Mountains. According to the Biblical writings Abraham went here with Isaac upto ‘the land of Moriah for his biggest test of faith. The akeidah as it is called in Jewish tradition.

Also the twelve spies walked here into the land towards Hebron

Here in Biblical Judea you walk Biblical history .

Genesis 22:​ ‘1 And it came to pass after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham; and he said, Behold, here I am. 2 And he said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell you’

Numb. 13:​22 ‘And they ascended by the south, and came to Hebron; where Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the sons of Anak, were. Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt’

We will be staying here for Sukkot 2024.
If you go to Israel any other time I highly recommend this place.

Have you been to the Herodion. It is an impressive site just south of Jerusalem.

Herod built it, during the Second Temple period.

Jewish/Roman historian Flavius Josephus writes that King Herod the Great built the magnificent palace at a spot located about 12 kilometers south of Jerusalem in order to commemorate his military victory over the Parthians. Herod “built a town on that spot in commemoration of his victory, and enhanced it with wonderful palaces… and he called it Herodion after himself,” the Jewish-Roman historian writes in The Wars of the Jews.

He goes on to note the strength of the fortress, located alongside a hill with a distinct conical (he calls it breast-like) shape, which Herod greatly expanded and filled with lush gardens, elaborate apartments, and of course, heavily fortified ramparts.

The site was used by the Jewish freedom fighters in 70 CE (during the Great Jewish revolt) and by the Jewish Bar Kochba fighters in 132-135 CE during the Bar Kochba revolt against the Roman occupiers.

Time line of history of the land of Israel:

Canaanite till 1250 BCE (Abraham 1800 BCE)
Israelite 1250 BCE- 586 BCE
Israelite Period 538 BCE – 70 CE

Have you been to Bethel? The site is called Jacob’s rock referring to Jacobs dream of Gen. 28.
Archeologists identified remnants of Jeroboams temple at the site. Later Muslims and Christians marked the site by building a shrine and a chapel at the site.

Gen. 28:​12 ‘And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it’
