Israel's Greatest Impact
When asked what held the greatest impact during the week, our response was both surprising and easy to answer. It was not any of the religious sites one would expect. They were certainly interesting, and shed light on familiar verses as they came off the pages of the Bible.

Further, they were heavily commercialized and ornate, rather than kept traditional to the time of Christ.

Consider the impact of a catastrophe greater than COVID ON the resulting behaviors of mankind.
