Traveling through the Judean Desert in its beautiful springtime coat of green and flowers, our first stop will be the "Good Samaritan Inn " museum.
This little-known gem houses the most extensive collection of original Eretz Yisrael, Talmudic/Byzantine-period mosaic floors.
Jewish, Christian, and Samaritan communities express their faith, culture, and art in these magnificent mosaic works.
We will see an educational film in a cave, originally the home of a Byzantine-era hermit.
History and art come alive.
We will continue through the Judean desert to the area of Jericho. There, we will visit pioneers in new hilltop farms.
The presence of proud, undeterred Jewish shepherds and their far-ranging flocks is reclaiming land for the Jewish people from encroaching Arabs.
Amazingly, large numbers of Arab squatters recently left when a handful of confident Jews moved into the neighborhood.
The squatters sense that the true owners are back.
We are witnessing a prophecy fulfilled through these young heroes,
"Not by might, nor by power, but my spirit says the Lord of Hosts" (Zechariah 4:6)
We will meet these isolated heroes and show them our love.
Close by is a direct blessing of the new Jewish presence.
The beautiful "Ayn Yitav" spring/pools and nature reserve is once again safe for Jewish visitors after years of Arab usurping and intimidation.
We will celebrate these prophetic times and enjoy a picnic lunch (brought from home) at this magnificent oasis.
