ENGLISH:

In the past few days, Bujumbura has received it's first good rain after a long dry period. But it is interesting to know that at the same time, Jerusalem was receiving it's first rain after the long dry summer! In Israel, the months May to September receive no rain at all.

ENGLISH:

EILAT: CITY ON THE RED SEA:

‘Eilat’ is the southern-most city in the land of Israel, facing directly onto the Red Sea. The Red Sea however is an extremely large body of water 1930km long with two major stretches like fingers at its northern end ‒ and historians and theologians alike are not exactly sure where the Israelites crossed it at. In the picture, you are looking East towards the mountains of Jordan. Today, there is very little of Biblical value able to be visited in Eilat. Nevertheless, Israelis & tourists from all over Europe today use it as a place to come on holidays.

Uku niko casa ikibuga mpuza makungu C,indege ca Isirayeli mu 2013 birashoboka yuko ubu coba gitandukanye. Naho kiri mu rutonde nku mugwa mukuru wa Tel Aviv, ubu kiri ku bilometero 20 uva i Yerusalemu. Ibakwe ryiza wururutse indege urashobora guca ufata indarayi kiretse ku musi wi Sabato, aho ivyunguruza abantu bibabihagaritse amasaha 24 (24h).

Vyompi amabisi na matagisi vyovyo bibabiringaho mugabo birazimvye. Mu 2019, aho ikiza ca Korona Virusi gitereye abantu benshi barahagaritse ingendo, imbere yaho abantu bangana imiliyoni 24 ni bice Umunani nibo bakoresha ico kibuga c,indege co muri Isirayeli, naho abanyagihugu bo murico bangana imiliyoni zirenga icenda. Uyu musi hari ikindi kibuga c,indege kigira kabiri kiri hafi ya "Eilat" (citwa "Ramon Aiport") mu Burengero kure yi gihugu.

ENGLISH:

This is how Israel’s main International Airport looked in 2013 ‒ its probably different by now. Although listed as being in Tel Aviv, it is actually 20km from the centre of the city & 45km from Jerusalem. Fortunately, once you land you can now catch the train to either ‒ unless its on the Sabbath, when all public transport stops for 24 hours.

Both bus and taxi are also available. In 2019, just prior to Covid stopping most people from travelling, 24.8 million passengers arrived in Israel by this airport, despite the country’s population being just over 9 million people. Today, there is a 2nd international airport near Eilat (called ‘Ramon Airport’) in the far south of the country.

Muriyi foto murashobora kubona (niyo mubona umuduga uri imbere yayo) uburaro bwa Petra mu gisagara ca kera ca Yerusalemu hafi ku metero ijana (100m) uva kwi rembo ryi Yopa.

Ibice binini vya Yerusalemu biroroshe ku gendwa mwi joro, bivana ni gihe uhagendeye ku mutaga inzu zo kudandarizamo ziba zuguruye kandi habari na bantu benshi bari kumwe nawe!

ENGLISH:

In this picture you can see (with the car in front of it) the Petra Hotel in the Old City of Jerusalem about 100m from Jaffa Gate. To the Left is the moat (a defensive trench dug round the walls of a fortress or Castle) belonging to what is now the Tower of David Museum, which contains some of the remains of the Fortress created by King Herod in this location. Most parts of Jerusalem are very safe to visit at night, with the only difference being whether the shops are open & how many people are there with you!

Muvyemera mu vyanka, iyi ni Yerusalemu! Mushobora kwi yumvira ko ari Isoko ryo kwa Siyoni I Bujumbura, ariko Ku vyukuri siho namba iri soko ni rimwe riri ku ma barabara yo mu gisagara ca kera ca Yerusalemu muri Isirayeli! Itandukaniro nya mukuru bitandukaniyeko na banyagihugu ni biciro (Isirayeli irazimvye cane gusumiramwo ibintu) Kandi nu kuntu ingendeshwa zitagira uruza nu ruze zirenganye mu ma barabara yi gisagara ca kera ni gake birashika umuduga utarenga umwe kwi saha niwo urengana.

ENGLISH:

Believe it or not, this is Jerusalem! You may think that this is the Seoni Market in Bujumbura, but in reality this is a market on one of the streets in the Old City of Jerusalem in Israel! The main difference being, the people, the prices (Israel is very expensive to buy things in) and the fact that cars do not travel through Jerusalem’s Old City streets very often ‒ perhaps less than one per hour.

Abantu benshi iyo biyumgiriye kuvyerekeye Isirayeli, biyumvira gusa ku bijanye na Bibiliya. Mugabo my vyukuri Isirayeli yuno musi ni gihugu CA teyimbere hariho indarayi izungurukira mu micungararo yi gihugu. Uyu musi, murashobora kugenda uvuye i Tel Aviv inzira yose gushika I "Nahariya" mu maja mu Buseruko hafi yu rubibe rwa Lebanoni, ukagera kure nko mu maja mu Burengero i "Beer Sheva". Ingenzi zirashobora kandi gushika I "Beit She'an" mu kugendura amasigarira yaho atey,igomwe mu buryo bworoshe cane.

Ikinezereye nuko mushobora ubu kandi kugenda uvuye ku kibuga c,indege ci "Ben Gurion" gushika i Tel Aviv canke I Yerusalemu ni ndarayi ihora ihaguruka buri iminota mirongwibiri (20') bi bakingira kuriha uburyo buzimvye bwi Tagisi. Urugendo ruva ku kibuga c,indege gushika i Yerusalemu mu ndarayi ( ni urugendo rwi bilometero 43) bigufata gusa iminota mirongwibiri (20') urugendo ukoresheje indarayi rutuma abipakiza banezererwa gukoresha urugendo rugufi kurusha barya bakoresha amabisi na matagisi, kandi bigukingira no gucererwa mugihe mwi barabara habari amambutiyaje. Birafasha kandi kugabanya uruza nu ruze rwi ngendeshwa zo mwi barabara.

Urugendo ruva i Tel Aviv ugenda ku kiyaga Mediterane gushika i Yerusalemu ni uburebure bwi bilometero 56 (56km) bigufata iminota irenga mirongwi tatu (plus de 30'). Mu 2019 barakoze indarayi nshasha ikoresha umwanya kuva iminota mirongwi cenda (90') gushika iminota mirongwi tatu (30') kandi bifata gusa uburyo bungana na 23NIS. Bisa no kubuntu kuko indarayi nyishi na mabisi nti bikora ku musi wi Sabato (ku kirenga zuba co ku wa Gatanu) Rero iyo mwipfuza kugendura Isirayeli nivyiza gutegura gahunda yawe ni bijanye nu buryo bwo kwiyunguruza kuko uravye nabi urashobora kubura ikikwunguruza.

ENGLISH:

Many people when they think about Israel, they only think of things associated with the Bible. But the reality is that Israel today is a modern nation with Railways covering a significant portion of the country. Today, you can travel from Tel Aviv all the way to Nahariya on the Northern Coast near the border of Lebanon, to as far south as Beer Sheva. Travellers can also reach Beit She’an making visiting the impressive ruins there extremely easy.

An extremely convenient benefit is that you can now also travel from the Ben Gurion Airport to either Tel Aviv or Jerusalem by train & departing every 20 minutes, avoiding having to pay for expensive Taxis. The journey from the airport to Jerusalem via train (a distance of 43km) only takes 20 minutes. Travel via rail allows passengers to enjoy a different viewpoint to those taking road based transport, and helps avoid delays when the roads become jamb packed. It also helps reduce the number of vehicles using the roads.

The journey from Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean Sea to Jerusalem ‒ a distance of 56 km ‒ takes just over 30 minutes. In 2019 a new railway was established, cutting the time taken via rail from x to y and costing just over 23NIS. Its worthwhile noting that most trains and buses do not operate on the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday) so if visiting, make your plans accordingly.

Iri ni rembo ryi Yopa urabiye indani mu gisagara ca kera ca Yerusalemu hari ivyicaro vya mabuye ingenzi ziza ziri carako hama zikihweza ibiri imbere yazo. Nkuko ubwinshi bwi mpome, iryo rembo rifise imyaka 500 gusa kandi sivya vuye mugihe ca Bibiliya. Izo mpome nayo marembo ibakweribi vyagiye birasenyurwa kenshi kandi bongera ba bisanura cane cane imbere mu mpera yi myaka yi 1950.

Iyo mwihwejeje neza vuba inyuma hari aku kugi ko gusohokeramwo murashobora Ku kabona akaryango kagana hejuru kuri "Ramparts Walk", aho mushobora gutambukira hejuru yi mpome zikikuje igisagara. Kure yaho iburyo murashobora kubona akazu ingenzi zibarizamwo amakuru, ni karata ndonda gihugu ishobora kugufasha kugendura igisagara ca kera mwibuke guca kurako kazu gatanga amakuru yi ngenzi mugihe muzo gendura Yerusalemu!

ENGLISH:

This is Jaffa Gate looking from inside the Old City of Jerusalem with stone benches for tourists to just sit and contemplate what is before them. Like the majority of the walls, the gate is only 500 years old & is not from the Biblical period. Those walls and gates were unfortunately destroyed and rebuilt many times over the last 1950 years.

If you look carefully, immediately after exiting the Gate you can see a doorway leading up to the Ramparts Walk, where you can walk along the top of the walls surrounding the city. On the far right you can see a Tourist Information Centre, with maps that can help you navigate the Old City ‒ definitely something worth remembering if you plan to visit Jerusalem!

Aya masigarira ni yamwe ari mu bibanza Abarahamu ya bayemwo mugihe ci gihugu ci sezerano. Rero, amajambere yaraciye aho hantu mu nyuma mu gihe ca Abarahamu bubaka basenyagura haguma ngaha imyaka 4100 iheze, na masigarira ubona ngaha ya baba gusa kuva aringaho imyaka 1300.
Dukurikije ingene Abaroma banesheje Abayuda mu mwaka wa 70.AD, "Beer Sheva" ya ciye icika igisagara ca Baroma gishaka aho CA komvomvowe cose mugihe ca Barabu bahateye mugihe gito hanyuma yu rupfu rwa Muhamadi kandi nti basubiye ku hasanura bugingo nubu.

Ingenzi ya genduye "Beer Sheva" imyaka 120 iheze ya ratanze inkuru ivuga yuko yabonye inyubako imwe gusa iraca koreshwa, kandi na mahema make. Uyu musi imyaka 100 ya nyuma caragutse kiraba igisagara cagutse mu Burengero bwa Isirayeli, ubu kizwi nku mugwa mukuru wu bugararwa bwa "Negev" urimwo abanyagihugu barenga 209,000. "Tell Beer Sheva" (amasigarira yerekanwe kuri foto) iri ku birometero 7.2 uvuye mu gisagara gitey'imbere ca "Beer Sheva".

ENGLISH:

This is the remains of one of the places Abraham used to dwell in while in the Promised Land. Obviously, much development has occurred since the time Abraham stayed here 4100 years ago, with the ruins you see here probably only being 1300 years old. Following the Romans overcoming the Jewish Revolt in 70AD, Beer Sheva became a Roman city until it was completely destroyed during the Arab invasion not long after Muhammad’s death and not rebuilt until recently.

A visitor to Beer Sheva 120 years ago reported seeing only one building still being used, and a small number of tents. Over the last 100 years, it has grown to be the largest city in the South of Israel, being known as the capital of the Negev Desert with 209,000 residents. Tell Beer Sheva (the ruins shown in the photo) is 7.2km from the modern city of Be’er Sheva.

Hagati y,urwinjiriro ryu musozi wi ngoro kwi rembo ryi "Magrabi" n,umusigiti wa AlAsqa hasanzwe hari ibi bisate vya mabuye. None ni ibiki? Bavyita "Capitals" (ego, niryambo rimwe bakoresha mu kuvuga umurwa mukuru canke urudome Rukuru) vyari ivyo bakoresha mu gushariza hejuru ku nkingi kugirango zigire igihagararo ku mabati akikuje ingoro, canke ku zindi nyubako za (Abaroma, Abaisilamu mbese ni zabarwanyi bi ntambara) barubatse ku musozi wi ngoro imyaka irenga 2000. Rero ubu ni mwasoma muri Bibiliya zanyu cane cane Mwisezerano rya Kera ijambo "Capital" muzoca mu menya ico gisigura! Munyuma yi kibuga no hejuru ya "Western Wall", nkuko biboneka uvuye imbere mu kibuga.

ENGLISH:

On the Temple Mount between the entrance at the Magrabi Gate & the Al Aqsa Mosque can be found these ornately carved pieces of stone. But what are they? These are called “capitals” (yes, the same word as used in Capital City or Capital Letter) and were designed to be used as decorations for the top of columns that may have supported the roof in the Temple Compound surrounds or various buildings (Roman, Muslim or Crusader) constructed on the Temple Mount over the past 2000 years. So now when you read “capital” in the Bible (especially in the Old Testament), you’ll know what it means! In the background is the top of the Western Wall, as seen from the inside of the compound.

Iri ni ibarabara riri mu gisagara ca kera ca Yerusalemu mu karere Ka Bayuda mu kibanza aho ata miduga yemerewe. Nahobiruko mu rico kibanza, nta nimwe murizo nyubako zifise imyaka isumba 1967. Igituma zimeze gutyo nuko mu 1948, Abanya Yorodani barasenyaguye inyubako zose zo mu karere ka Bayuda mu ntumbero ku bemeza yuko batazo garuka ubugirakandi murako karere. Vyabaye nyene inyuma mu 1967 mugihe Isirayeli ya tsinze kandi isubira gutwara mu ngwano yi misi itandatu ("6 Day War") niho Isirayeli yaciye itangura gusubira kwubaka inyubako zayo ngaha.

ENGLISH:

This is a street within the Old City of Jerusalem in the Jewish Quarter in a place where no cars are allowed. Despite the location, none of these buildings are older than 1967. The reason is that in 1948 the Jordanians destroyed all the buildings in the Jewish Quarter in an attempt to make sure the Jews could never return. It was only after 1967 when Israel won back control in the 6 Day War that Israel could begin to rebuild the buildings there.

Ici ni ikigega ni agace kinyubako bubatse muri Isirayeli ku munara mu mirima kafasha Umurimyi kubika neza ivyimburwa neza na neza mugihe ci sarura mu kubikingira ubusuma. Carashobora gukoreshwa kandi mu kuzigama ivyimburwa mugihe ci sarura. Aka karorero ki kigega karangwa mwi Ratiro rya Nazareti Village.

ENGLISH:

This is a ‘watch-tower’: a type of building constructed in Israel amongst the fields to allow the farmer to keep a watch over his crops prior to the harvest to protect them from theft. It could also be used to store the harvest in or live in while the harvest was under way. This particular example is found at the Nazareth Village display on the outskirts of Nazareth.

ENGLISH:

These two photos were taken just 2 months apart and are of the same part of a valley just East of the Sea of Galilee in Northern Israel, in an area called the ‘Golan’. Immediately evident is the difference in colour, due to the season they were taken in. Israel has four seasons ‒ Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring. Most of Israel’s rain is received between November & March, during their Winter & early Spring.

When it is raining, the grass grows and many parts of Israel become green like the photo you see here. But when it stops raining in late Spring, the heat quickly dries the grass out until it becomes brown like in the other photo. Unlike Burundi, Israel has a great difference in Temperature between Summer & Winter. Depending on where you are in the country, Summer can be as hot as 40 degrees and Winter can be as low as Zero (or even less). So Israel can look and feel really different depending on the time you visit!

Fyonda ngaha mu kuraba vyinshi Kandi: https://www.facebook.com/108913431345329/posts/253490800220924/

ENGLISH:

This is a public toilet from over 1500 years ago. Found in the remains of a city called ‘Beit She’an’ in Israel, this was a Roman provision for the citizens of this area. Privacy was zero with no walls or dividers between you and the person sitting next to you. Even worse, this toilet was able to be used by both men and women. A stream of water ran beneath, carrying away the deposits left by each person.

Often when when we think of Israel, we only think of seeing what we find in the Bible. When in reality, the Israelites inhabited the land for approximately 1500 years, and then were absent for 1800 years during which the Romans, Crusaders, Arabs & various Muslim kingdoms controlled life there, leaving their mark.

ENGLISH:

This is the edge of the cliff that the modern Israeli town called ‘Mitzpe Ramon’ is built on. It is right in the middle of the Negev Desert in the Southern part of Israel, a place where absolutely nothing grows. In this picture, you are looking North East towards the Dead Sea. Although both Abraham & the Israelites likely travelled through this part of Israel on their way to and from Egypt, there was no known Israeli settlement in this part of the desert, due to the difficulty in growing crops & finding water due to the desert environment. Despite this, Mitzpe Ramon can be a great place to stay for a day or two while exploring the desert surrounding.

ENGLISH:

SOUTH OF THE TEMPLE MOUNT:

In this photo is the walls of the Temple Mount (background) and the Davidson Archaeological Park (foreground). This area contains excavated ruins from the destruction of the Temple as well as later remains from the Islamic period. Unfortunately, above the walls the Al Aqsa Mosque can be seen, which we thank God will be removed by Jesus when He returns. Entry for adults to the Davidson Archaeological Park is 29NIS each, with an additional 16NIS per person for a guided tour around the site & museum ‒ which is really needed to make sense of the various items scattered throughout.

ENGLISH:

This photo is from inside the Old City of Jerusalem, looking across the roofs from the top of the Austrian Hospice facing towards the South. Unfortunately Jerusalem is filled with many mosques, and at prayer time many loudspeakers ring out across the city forcing themselves upon many who have no desire whatsoever to participate. On the top right you can see the domes of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the tower standing tall on the horizon belongs to the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer. You can pay 15NIS to climb this tower to receive one of the best views of the Old City from the top.

ENGLISH:

HIDING BENEATH JAFFA:

This is the excavations underneath the Kdumim Visitor’s Centre in Jaffa. Jaffa is like any other city inhabited since ancient times in Israel. Dig beneath the surface & you will find layers upon layers of past civilizations (which we have already shown you many times in Jerusalem and in Megiddo), which you can view by walking beneath the Visitor’s Centre. The ruins in this photo are the remains following Jaffa’s destruction at the hands of the Romans between 66 & 70AD, as a result of the Jewish Revolt.

ENGLISH:

JERUSALEM LIGHT RAIL:

This is the ‘Jerusalem Light Rail’ ‒ a small train that operates on the street. In this picture, it is travelling along Jaffa Road outside of the Old City. As part of the transformation of the street to allow it to be used by the Light Rail, cars were banned from the street & other than the Light Rail, it is today reserved for Pedestrians only. This road is called ‘Jaffa Road’ because it quite literally is the road you used to take if you wanted to travel from Jerusalem to Jaffa on the Mediterranean Sea!

THE FLOATING ORANGE TREE:

Created in 1993 as art, the orange tree is watered by a small irrigation system & actually bears fruit. Although it looks like it is floating, it is actually suspended using cables from the buildings surrounding the courtyard. This is located in streets of the Old City of Jaffa in Israel and can only be reached by walking. The container is made of clay in the shape of an egg and the tree grows out of a ‘crack’ in the top.

DIG IN JERUSALEM, THIS IS LIKELY WHAT YOU’LL FIND:

Throughout Israel, the law states that before beginning a new building project, qualified archaeologists must be employed to excavate first in order to discover what may be hidden beneath the soil before it is destroyed or damaged. This can make the cost of building in Israel very expensive. In 2007, the City of David Foundation (a non-profit dedicated to preserving the remains from where King David built Jerusalem 3000 years ago) desired to make a new Visitor’s Centre where a car-park once stood.

Taking the opportunity mandated by law, they began an excavation that continues today. Located about 30m outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem today, archaeologists found layer upon layer of civilization from thousands of years ago from the Jerusalem of Bible times, each layer built upon the previous one. Furthermore, evidence was found of the destruction & burning of Jerusalem by the Romans in 70AD. Excavations have continued following the photo you see here, which was taken in 2013. You can see other examples of how deeply ancient ruins have been buried by going to the following pages:
