| 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. |

| The Site Which Is No Site |
Perhaps our most inspiring short devotional has been in a tiny little grotto just above the street running past Tabgha and the Church of the Primacy of St. Peter. This little nowhere is very special to those of us who made the climb.  Some scholars say there was no actual Sermon on the Mount, that the story told in all four Gospels is only a redaction of other, common teachings. Perhaps.
However, the Rabbi from Nazareth had some important things to say, and this is the only teaching recorded in all four Besorot, so it must have been critical. If you look carefully at the text, the crowds were on the mountain, but he did not speak to them. He waited for his talmidim, his disciples to come to him, and he spoke words of instruction.
So, we climbed up the hill, and our rabbi, Jerry Feldman, spoke to us.
None of us will forget this tiny spot, which is not in a national park, not part of a monastery, was never a Byzantine fortress, and had no Roman mosaics.
For us, it will always remain holy. |

| 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.
