Lanny’s Pictures
We have come to the last full day in Israel.
Our time at the Israel Museum will likely be limited to visiting the model of Jerusalem as it was during the time of Christ. It is a large outdoor model that allows you to put all of the places you have visited into their proper geographic perspective.
January 26 – Day 8 – Stop 2 Yad Vashem – The Holocaust Memorial

There will not be enough time to see all of this but there will be enough time to see more than you want to see. It is a somber reminder of unimaginable evil. Along with the museum there is a special tribute to the children who died and on the grounds you can walk among the trees planted in honor of the “Righteous Among the Nations” including such names as Corrie Ten Boom.
January 26 – Day 8 – Stop 3 Herodiom
Bible Walks Blog
Wikipedia says “Herodiom is a volcano-like hill with a truncated cone located seven miles south of Jerusalem, near the city of Bethlehem in the West Bank. Herod the Great built a fortress and palace on the top of Herodium, and may have been buried there.”
It is also home to one of the oldest synagogues in Israel.
We didn’t go here last year so this will be a first visit for all of us.
