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.
You asked what was a favorite memory of my time in Israel...I think this view was one of them! And then being able to enter the Dome of the Rock was so exciting! I am so grateful that I was able to do a trip similar to yours...it was an amazing experience! Love, Mom
