Three times a year worshipers would travel up to the Jerusalem, the CITY ON A HILL, for the festivals. Over the years, a songbook developed that served as the pilgrims’ traveling songs. Psalms 120-134 are called "The Psalms of Ascent.” These are the songs the Jews sang as they ascended to Jerusalem and will be our theme as we travel together for a transformational trip to the land where Jesus walked.

Observant Jews during prayers in preparation for a young mans Bar Mitzvah. I photographed from a distance with telephoto to better respect this family's celebration. Note the Tefillin affixed to his forehead and arm.
