Israel: Ancient History and Fresh Growth
Jerusalem, 1/14/2011
As we explored Israel on the trip, we experienced both ancient history while witnessing fresh growth. In the background, the Old City of Jerusalem, accentuated by the Dome of the Rock. In the foreground, young trees and flowers. From centuries old religious conflict to the young state of Israel; from the death at Yad Vashem to the young blossoms on each memorial grave at Mount Herzl; from the ruins on Massada to the electric cars at Better Place; all exemplify Israel as an ancient, yet simultaneously growing and flourishing new region.
