A Visit with Bishop YounanWe were able to enjoy a bit of a leisurely morning before checking out of the ICB and transferring to Jerusalem. The highlight of the day was the opportunity to visit with our Bishop in Jerusalem, Munib Younan. Bishop Younan is a remarkable man – insightful, prophetic, good-humored. Our partnership is one of the great blessings of being in ministry in the SEMI Synod.
Yad Vashem
Despite having received imperfect directions from not one but TWO official visitor center staffers at Jaffa Gate, we found our way to Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum, which is open late on Thursdays. I found myself rather taken by two current exhibits, one on the survivors of the Holocaust who have had a significant impact on life in Israel and one on the art produced by people living in the camps. I found the art from Terezin to be most profound.
