Thanks for great article about Aliyah! I am a gentile Christian who loves Israel and the Jewish people. I had the opportunity and the privilege to visit there three years ago this month. I will never forget that trip.

That strange connection with reality and ancient history intersecting is an example of the many things that enlighten my Bible studies now. I have the privilege to teach adults in Sunday School and I often mention something that I experienced on that brief trip. I may have another opportunity to go again in this life, but I know that I will be in the New Jerusalem for sure one day.

this was a VERY interesting article. i am glad the Jewish people “The CHOSEN PEOPLE ” are going HOME to their beautiful country. they are a BIG and WONDERFUL BLESSING to the world. I pray for them, to be able to go there, but mainly I pray they will find their JESUS the CHRIST while there . How fulfilling that would be.!!!!!!!! GOD Bless you all. Leeana C.
