Ein Kerem

by leffe3

The reported birthplace of John the Baptist, Ein Kerem (Spring of the Vineyard) is an ancient village on the south-west periphery of Jerusalem and the Jerusalem Hills. As a result, there is a proliferation of churches, monasteries etc located in the village and has also attracted a number of artists and other artisans, resulting in a bohemian reputation and attracting day-trippers and pilgrims in equal numbers. With the Hadessah hospital now located at the 'top of the hill', Ein Kerem is easily reached from central Jerusalem by public transport.A trip to the village can easily be incorporated with a visit to Yad Vashem as it is to be found at the valley floor - but visit Ein Kerem first as most churches and monasteries are open to the public only in the mornings.

Get On the Bus, Gus

by gilabrand

Gone are the days when buses were hot and smelly, strewn with sunflower seed shells and cost more to ride at night. That’s what they were like when I first visited Israel in the 1960s. Nowadays, buses are air-conditioned, people use deodorant, they are more likely to be chewing sugarless gum or yakking on their cell-phones than cracking sunflower seeds, and the day and night rate are the same (maybe they charged for the lightbulb in the olden days…). Israel’s major bus company is Egged, which plies both city and inter-city routes. In Tel Aviv, the local buses are operated by Dan, and in Beersheva by Metrodan. The old rickety buses with hard-to-navigate stairs were replaced years ago by sleek, modern buses that are low-slung and easy to board. On some routes long, “accordion” buses are used. In Jerusalem, I always wonder how the driver manages to maneuver these monsters as he whizzes...

This site is famous mainly because of exposure of the famous Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest known bible. Qumran served as their studies as well as members of a Jewish sect from the Second Temple, the Essenes, also known as the Dead Sea Sect.This cult operated in the desert and the Dead Sea from the end of the Hasmonean period (first century BC) to the middle of the first century BC, that is up to the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem when the great revolt broke out against the Romans conquered the area in 66. Life on the site were resumed during the Bar Kochba revolt (132-135 CE) and after it was abandoned until the present day.This site of great importance in the Christian world because Christianity may precursor, John the Baptist was himself a member of the sect, and probably retired from business at some point and Jews in the Jordan River baptism, when Jesus was famous Mbinam..

Vacation in Eilat

by manil51

Eilat, the southernmost city in Israel serves as a port city and tourist attraction and is located in the Arava. Towards the end of the War of Independence in 1949 and determined the site was conquered southern border of Israel with Egypt.
