The Promised Land. Tel Aviv beach with the Mediterranean Sea.
The Golden city of God : Jerusalem. View from the Mount of Olives.
The sound of the shofar is raising from the Western Wall in Jerusalem.
The legendary Dead Sea. Tradition claims Sodom and Gomorrah, the two cities of the Sin, laid behind. Gen Pace next favourite place !! Mine also !
Israeli chicks dressed like FBI agents for Purim (Carnival)
Fish, israeli bread and israeli salad at the Old port of Jaffa, near Tel Aviv.
Israeli main port of Haifa, in the north. You can see the coast of Lebanon on the upper left of the photo. Haifa received Katioucha rockets last summer.
IDF soldiers in Tel Aviv
Another photograph of the Dead Sea area near Qumran, where the Qumran Scrolls were found. Jordan is on the opposite.

My Bible study group has done many of the videos they offer, and in addition to outstanding teachings from the Bible, they have some of the best on site filming in the area that I've seen. Not just Israel, but they got on location in many arab nations to do their videos.
If anyone knows a similar or superior series, please share!
Beautiful. Wish I could visit. BTW, re those IDF soldiers, I'll take one of each, thank you. (LOL!)
Jericho (Palestinian territories). To the Monastery of the Temptation (in the moutains, on the center) where Jesus stayed 40 days resisting to the devil's influence. You are not dreaming. Arab investisors gave millions to this tourists attractions where neighbours are extremly poor. Hypocrisy at it best. 
Burning candles in the Holy Sepulchre (Jesus tomb) in Jerusalem in support of America and the War on Terror 
The wall of the city of David, in Jerusalem Old City 
The photographs is bad, but I kept it for three reasons : 1) it is in Nazareth, and the seller is an Arab-Israeli citizen. 2) Debates rages in Israel about the loyalty of the muslims-faithful followers and Israeli Arabs 3) the seller, who strangely looks like the hamas leader (!!!) was selling books gloryfying Cheikh Yassin and calling for the murders of Jews and Americans
Tsahal soldiers. In Israel, girls have to go to the army 2 years, and then one month every year in reserve. 
Qumran (where the scrolls were found) landscape. View of the Dead Sea 
Barmistva (Jewish baptem) at the Western Wall (also named Wall of Tears) 
Gethsemane Garden, where Jesus was arrested. The Olive trees are there for thousands of years and have witnessed Jesus arrival and arrest.
I will open a second thread for my photographs of the Palestinian territories.
I was able to get into Ramallah, one of the epicenter of modern terrorism. Photos are coming.
Bookmark. Great photos! Glad you figured out how to get them online.
Beautiful people, beautiful pictures...thank you
Thanks to all.
Less enjoying are the present photos I'm posting about the Palestinian territories and the crazy city of Ramallah, one of the epicenter of modern terrorism.
"barura yaffa" which means "beautiful girl !!" in Hebrew
It's "bakhura". Sorry. Very strong "kh" may be mistaken for "rrrrr".
I just know the prunonciation !! It is phonetic. I don't know a clue about Hebew.
Thanks bro.
Your pictures are unbelievably beautiful.
Thanks for sharing.
"The stone on which Jesus laid when he was brought down from the cross. "
I have two of these at the house.
To my taste, Hebrew sounds very yummie, while Arabic is yukkie. But this is IMHO. Other people may think otherwise. Thanks again for the pictures and your kind words of Israel.
That monastery is fabulous!! Where exactly is it?
Wha???
You were in jericho? Were you afraid? There was an uprising when we were in Israel and couldn't go there...glad.
