  1. 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. As we stood on the Mount of Olives and looked across the valley to Jerusalem, my admiration was only interrupted briefly when a camel bumped into me and stepped on the edge of the sole of my shoe. 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.
