Shalom!

Jeff and I had a wonderful time in Israel. We learned and experienced so much and we’re still processing it all (and recovering from jet lag). Here are a handful of photos from the trip …

  • great photos- thanks for sharing with us. i’ve been learning a ton of jewish history this semester and i really want to go!

  • Awsome. What an experrience for you both. I love the picture of the sea of galilee, it looks like actual bible times!

  • love the photos. i’m so glad that you had a great time

  • wow. how incredible that you got to visit all those places! i bet it feels a bit surreal now to think that you were actually there!

  • This is Mr. Cara (Jeff Davis). I’m so proud of my wife and all of her accomplishments.
    I would recommend this trip to anyone and everyone. It’s amazing how much the Jewish people have done for the land they were given in the late forties. It’s a must see for people of all religions and interests in history. Don’t forget to go for a float in the Dead Sea!

  • wow, this looks amazing. i can’t wait to hear more about your experiences there.
    ps. great composition on the sea of galilee photo. oh and isn’t weird to come across soldiers milling about with machine guns in other countries?!

  • Your pictures make me want to go back for another trip right now. I’m glad you enjoyed your time!
