Yerushalayim - the CENTER of the world

At a time when much of the world is questioning what is truly important and what isn't - for those Bible Believers like us - we already know...

It is Yerushalayim (Jerusalem) which sits at the center of our universe.  Not just within our thoughts, but is the focus of our hearts, the very yearning of our souls... "If I forget you, O Yerushalayim, let my right hand forget its cunning. If I do not remember you, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I do not set Yerushalayim above my highest joy.   Tehillim (Psalms) 137:4-6

The current crisis that the world faces will pass and many will simply return to their 'old life' with no lessons learned.  But, in the midst of all of this I hear the words of the prophet calling out to all of us: "For the sake of Tzion I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Yerushalayim, I will not be still..."
                 Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 62:1

The purpose of this Blog is to share a GOOD REPORT FROM THE LAND - to enable you to see a bit of OUR Israel through my eyes.  As a licensed Israeli Tour Guide, I am in a unique position to share pictures, history and insights about what I refer to as, the Chosen Land - Eretz Yisrael (Land of Israel).

  There won't be commentary on the political situation in Israel or about the progress in the fight against the COVID-19 virus.  There is more then enough of that online.  My goal is to help CONNECT you to Israel, on all levels.

   I will be posting often - so if there's anything about Israel that you want me to cover - please write me and I will add it to my (very long) list of things to share.   :-)  Now is a good time for you to start (or continue!) saving in your 'Israel Fund' - and I look forward to showing you Israel close up and personal.  But for now, may these Blog posts serve as a light appetizer for the real thing.

Shalom from Modi'in - home of the Maccabees,

  2. Within the month, I actually was curious to see how close Israel was to the center of the earth by looking at man's made coordinates 0°N 0°E. Not too bad... Close enough. Just around the corner... need to go SE and through Africa to the Atlantic.
    Boy! Those who made the coordinates got way off. Jerusalem is 0°N 0°E... At least it should be. �� ���� �� �� ��
