  • St. Paul's Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine's Monastery at Sinai
    St. Paul’s Pilgrimage to the Holy Land and St. Catherine’s Monastery at Sinai May 17-30, 2011 1 2 A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND AND ST. CATHERINE’S MONASTERY AT MT. SINAI A Prayer for Pilgrims Lord Jesus, You traveled with Your two disciples to Emmaus after the Resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. I beg You: travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your Presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim upon this earth, seeking my true citizenship in heaven. During my pilgrimage, surround me with Your holy angels to guide me and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans for this journey and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Illumine my mind with the incomprehensible light of Your Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor. Help me to see the beauty of all things and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in everything You have created. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You do I give thanks, praise and glory, together with Your Father who is without beginning and Your all Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages. AMEN. Why make a Pilgrimage to the Holy Land? For the Christian, Jerusalem – the site of the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ - will always be the center of the world. In the course of 20 centuries, millions of Christians have made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, with their goal being Jerusalem as the most important place to journey to and pray at its holy sites – and with Bethlehem a close second.

Friedman 15 IBN Gabirol Street Jerusalem, Israel 92430 Dear Herb : Would you believe that since returning from Israel in May , I have been wanting to sit down and tell you about our Dallas Mission . Your letter of April 23, 1974, evidently arrived just as we were leaving for Israel, so I lost the contact with you , whi ch had been so i mportant to me in planning our Mission. Two weeks after our return , I attempted to put into words some personal feelings about the Mission in lieu of per­ sonally appearing at the CJFWF Quarterly Meeting in Los Angeles . Those thoughts, in the form of a letter to Arden Shenker , Chair­ man of the National Committee on Leadership Development , are enclosed. It is now six months later and , strange as it may seem, the 42 people have remained together. We call ourselves Havurat Hatikva, and we come together continually on Jewish holidays, often on Shabbat, with our families in each other's Sukahs, some studying Jewish history taught by one of the members, others taking Hebrew. There is Jewish tradition in homes where there had previously been little or none .

  • Journal & Guide
    Journal & Guide Date:_________________ Name:________________________ Welcome to the journey of a lifetime... walking in the footsteps of Jesus... I have had the privilege to lead several trips to the Holy Land. Each journey brings new discoveries and a deeper appreciation for this land and its people. Israel is unique because it belongs to no other than God Himself. So, in that spirit, consider yourself invited to the Holy land with a Hebrew welcome “Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai”, “Blessed his he/she who comes in the name of the Lord”. One of the greatest joys is witnessing the transformation in the lives of those who make the Journey. You will see the places you have studied in the Bible; you will walk in the places where Jesus and his disciples lived and taught, and you will see biblical prophecy fulfilled in the miracle that is the land of Israel. It will give you an entirely new perspective on the word of God, and it will renew your faith in the promises of God. ALIYAH is a Hebrew word meaning to ‘go up’ or ‘to return’. I believe that many faithful Christians are being called from around the world to reconnect to the land where their faith was born. I believe that God has spoken to your heart and has something very special to reveal to you. This journey is meant to be life-changing and we will all come to realize that we will never be the same. Shalom, Paul Klassen ISRAELI TRAVELERS BLESSING/PRAYER May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our fathers, that You should lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace, and guide us in peace, and support us in peace, and cause us to reach our destination in life, health, joy, and peace and return us in peace.

  • Tempted to Sin? Just Say No!
    Please Give Generously to the Pontifical Good Friday Holy Land Collection First Sunday of Lent: Tempted to Sin? Just Say No! The Gospel passage of the Temptation of Jesus is a stark contrast to every person’s struggle with temptation and sin. Jesus is able to resist the cunning enticements of the devil, unlike Adam & Eve, who suc- cumbed to disobedience and their desires to be “like God” (Gen 3:5). Too often we put our desire for pleasure, power and prestige before our love for God. As Jesus shows us, it is only through our obedience to His Word that we will truly be “like God” and reflect His likeness. Christian pilgrims who have visited the Mount of Temptation near Jericho in the Judean wilderness witness the barren and harsh surroundings of the place where Jesus spend forty days in the desert after his baptism by John the Baptist.

    Annex 4 JERICHO Regional Development Study Current Situation of Tourism ANNEX 4: CURRENT SITUATION OF TOURISM 1. Tourism Resources Since pre-historic times, the Jordan Rift Valley area has been a passageway for many civilizations and a cross-road for the tracks of history. The many different civilizations that lived in the area contributed towards the unique culture of the Jordan Rift Valley area. Abundant historical and cultural remains were left behind during the passage of the many different civilizations and the exchange of human activities. These remains are now recognized as valuable cultural and historical assets and are regional tourist attractions. The major assets in the Greater Jericho are introduced below. Figure 4.1.1 Location of Historical Sites (1) Tell es-Sultan / Old Jericho City Built 10,000 Years Ago In the 19th century, part of Jericho City wall was discovered by a British archaeologist team and was found to be part of the oldest city in the world, built approximately 8000 BC. The mild climate and water resources in the valley attracted people, and settlements grew to form a city. The Jordan Rift Valley and Dead Sea area is also known to have been the place where agricultural activities first started using the fertile AN4-1 Annex 4 JERICHO Regional Development Study Current Situation of Tourism agricultural land. Then the people of Jericho built the city walls to protect themselves from invasions and attacks. The remains of the city wall and ruins show that Jericho City received frequent attacks.
