The Wailing Wall/Bar mitzvas
The Western "Wailing" Wall (the remaining portion of Herod's temple at the time of Jesus). Friday night marks the beginning of shabbat, so there is an especially large crowd of Jews come to pray at the wall. The groups of soldiers and youth dancing/singing in circles was especially fun to see.

I've really enjoyed looking at these photos. Looks like you two had a wonderful time. Loved the videos of Mt. Sinai, the Sea of Galilee, and Mt. of Beatitudes. I've always wanted to go to Masada -- such an incredible story. It all looks fabulous. As I watched the video on the top of Mt. Sinai, I wondered if a person felt closer to God up there. It looks so desolate, but there is still -- even in the video -- an indescribable "draw" to the area.
Thanks for adding more of the videos....really wonderful little vinyettes....
