| Help Support Victims of Terror |
| On our tour, we met with representatives of Hands of Mercy, a broad-based, Israeli Non-Profit Organization serving as an 'outreach' expression of compassion and support to the many individuals and families now suffering from the tragic events of terror, violence, and war. Won't you, please, give to help these victims and their families? |
| Help Fight Back Against Terror |
| On our tour, we were also privileged to hear from the director of Shurat HaDin - Israel Law Center, a legal rights institute based in Israel dedicated to providing legal representation and resources for the numerous courtroom struggles which are being waged in the Israeli, American and European courts on behalf of the Jewish State. Striking at the terrorists where they are most vulnerable, in the funding, the Israel Law Center needs your help to continue this expensive, yet effective struggle. |

| Between Death and Life |
Today, we head to Hebron, where we will visit the Cave of the Patriarchs, the tomb that Abraham bought for his wife Sarah, where they are buried along with their son Isaac and his wife Rebecca, and their son Jacob and his wife Leah. We will drive within a quarter mile or so of the tomb of Rachel, but it is just not safe to go there, now that the land has been given to the Palestinians. By the same token, yesterday, we saw where Joseph's tomb has been defiled, desecrated, and destroyed, and is now covered with a mosque, but we could not approach the site, itself, because the PA is "protecting" the holy sites as history has led us to believe they will.
Today, we will also visit the Dead Sea, which is also called the Sea of life, and tonight, Masada.
Unfortunately, we will not have time to get back online until we return to Jerusalem, tomorrow night, and by then, it may be too close to Shabbat.
However, I have seen with my own eyes the death and squalor that the Palestinians have chosen, and the life and prosperity the Israelis are building. I have seen the viciously crowded refugee camps surrounded by empty lands to which the Palestinians will not move. I have seen the beautiful Jewish communities which were not built on empty lands on hilltops the Arabs refused to used because they believed a donkey could not live there.
Am Yisrael Chai! The People of Israel Lives! Od Avinu Chai! Our Father Lives! |

| An Unbelieveable Journey |
|
45 Americans - Orthodox Jews, Messianic Jews, Christians, and others - toured Israel from June 4 through June 20, 2006, from the Golan to Be'er Sheva, from Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea, from Hevron to Jerusalem.
This site will hold pictures, memories, impressions, lessons learned, and more. Come along with us, and leave your comments as we journey. |

 - Name: Christopher
Christopher Coleman was born in the US but raised in Central Africa, specifically what was Zaire and is now the Congo, again.
As an adult, Christopher learned of his Jewish heritage, which had been hidden for generations. He also began searching for the Jewish roots of his Christian faith, and eventually joined Adat Yeshua Messianic Congregation.
Although a long time student, and sometimes victim, of foreign affairs and US foreign policy, Christopher assumed there was no point in speaking out until the events of September 11, 2001, made keeping silent impossible. Later that year, he was invited to join Jerry Feldman as co-host of For Zion's Sake, which eventually led to the creation of the For Zion's Sake Blog.
