If you've been to Israel previously, what have you enjoyed seeing, doing or eating? If you've never been (or want to go again), what would you like to see, do or eat?
Here's a list of 10 things that I've really enjoyed: 1) People-watching at the Western Wall on a Friday night at sundown 2) Eating green olive pizza on Ben Yehuda St. 3) Climbing the Mount of Olives 4) Sailing on the Sea of Galilee 5) Wading through Hezekiah's tunnel 6) Singing inside St. Anne's church near St. Stephen's gate 7) Sitting outside on a cool night after a long hot day 8) Visiting Nazareth Village 9) Walking the snake path to the top of Masada 10) Smelling the spices at Mechane Yehuda Market

I want to see Jesus there after He returns and defeats the Antichrist. 🤓 But if I'm there before then, I'd like to see the Garden Tomb.

Brian, I'm one that accepts the Church of the Holy Sepulcher as the correct site for the death, burial and resurrection of the Lord rather than the Garden Tomb, but I have often said that the Garden Tomb is one of my favorite places to visit in Jerusalem even if it didn't make my list above. It is marinated in faith. The tour guides are trained to emphasize that it is far more important to be right about the Person than the place. It is such a peaceful location. Perhaps we could go sometime together. I lead trips to Israel regularly. Well, not since 2019 with the pandemic, but I'm planning on getting back on track in May 2022. Come with me! Maranatha!
