| 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. |

| Yad La'Shiryon |
On 12 June, we went to Yad La'Shiryon, the armored corps memorial site and museum at Latrun.
 Many of the adults ran like kids over the decommisioned tanks on display. Shlomo, our guide, was surprised. I guess for Americans these are like big toys. For Israelis, these are memorials.
David Pride has a great site showing the armored fighting vehicles on display and giving descriptions of them.
We also saw a video of the dedication of the complex.
One of the most important things we saw there was the Wall of Names, displaying the names of the fallen soldiers from the War of Independence and up to this very day. Every Israeli knows someone on that wall or their family. Shlomo showed us the name of a classmate of his, who had grown up on the same Kibbutz, and died during the Sinai campaign.
To our sorrow, we noted the empty tablets at the end. As much as we wanted to hope, as much as every Israeli wants to hope, that this list will not grow, we know it will. |

| 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.
