Friday: Holocaust Museum in the a.m. Very well done and very moving. Hard to watch some of the video eye witness accounts. Israel Museum in the p.m.--Dead Sea Scrolls and a wonderful modern art section--lots of impressionism which is right up my alley.
Saturday: In-depth tour with a guide who is a specialist in Jewish-Christain relationships. Very interesting! Spent quite a bit of time in the Holy Sepulchre (site of Jesus's tomb). Afterwards, went to Mount Zion --site of the Upper Room and David's Tomb. Returned to Western (Wailing) Wall--didn't see much difference today (Sabboth for the Jewish community) than we saw on Thursday.
