Pilgrim Kitty at the Baha'i World Center

I saw this cat hanging around a lot at the Pilgrim Reception Center of the Baha'i World Center. There were many stray cats in the Haifa area. I took this on day 7 of my pilgrimage to the Holy Land.

Turns out I was mistaken when I said that her missing ear tip might have been due to a run-in with a dog. Clipping the ear is a common way to signify in Haifa that a cat's been spayed or neutered.

At The Shrines - Bahai Pilgrimage at Shrine of Bahaullah - Bahji Haifa Akka Holy Land

After going inside the Shrine of the Blessed Beauty to pray, we emerged to a day of light rain and wandered around the surrounding gardens dazed, feelings indescribable flooding us, immersing ourselves in the solitary musings unique to each pilgrim. This song was composed on the spot, the sacred spot which approximately one in every thousand people on our planet consider to be the most holy place on Earth.

Jewish Cemeteries of Moldavia & Bukovina

Beit Haim, House of Life.
This is what the Jewish cemeteries are called. This is the name given to the Jewish cemeteries of Moldavia and Bukovina too. A house of life built in stone. A house of life that each of us should visit. This earth has received the Jews who are awaiting their afterlife. This earth has become a sacred place, another promised land.

Monuments, untold stories, past lives, memories carved in stone and … silence.

Some stones are still standing while others are leaning on trees or on the cemetery’s fence, which looks like a Wailing Wall. Many are broken, torn, eaten by time, lop-sided, fallen, swallowed by earth and vegetation… but all of them without exception “speak silently” of a Destiny.

Looking for a tour in Israel? Which to TAKE and which to AVOID (2019)

Taking a tour in Israel, whether a day tour or a tour running over multiple days, is a great way to understand the rich history of Israel.
In this vidoe I talk about all the different tours on offer:
what you can expect, what you should avoid, and which companies are out there – from budget to luxury.

Tour companies
I’m going to divide the tours into three:
The cheap options, which I really like
The mid-range, which are very common but which I don’t like
The high end, meaning private guides, which is the best option if you can afford it.

SUMMARY
=======
Jerusalem (; Hebrew: יְרוּשָׁלַיִם‬ Yerushaláyim; Arabic: القُدس‎ al-Quds) is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Both Israel and the Palestinian Authority claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.During its long history, Jerusalem has been destroyed at least twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. The part of Jerusalem called the City of David was settled in the 4th millennium BCE. Jerusalem was named as Urusalim on ancient Egyptian tablets, probably meaning City of Shalem after a Canaanite deity, during the Canaanite period (14th century BCE). During the Israelite period, significant construction activity in Jerusalem began in the 9th century BCE (Iron Age II), and in the 8th century the city developed into the religious and administrative center of the Kingdom of Judah. In 1538, the city walls were rebuilt for a last time around Jerusalem under Suleiman the Magnificent. Today those walls define the Old City, which has been traditionally divided into four quarters—known since the early 19th century as the Armenian, Christian, Jewish, and Muslim Quarters. The Old City became a World Heritage Site in 1981, and is on the List of World Heritage in Danger. Since 1860 Jerusalem has grown far beyond the Old City's boundaries. In 2015, Jerusalem had a population of some 850,000 residents, comprising approximately 200,000 secular Jewish Israelis, 350,000 Haredi Jews and 300,000 Palestinians. In 2011, the population numbered 801,000, of which Jews comprised 497,000 (62%), Muslims 281,000 (35%), Christians 14,000 (around 2%) and 9,000 (1%) were not classified by religion.According to the Bible, King David conquered the city from the Jebusites and established it as the capital of the united kingdom of Israel, and his son, King Solomon, commissioned the building of the First Temple. These foundational events, straddling the dawn of the 1st millennium BCE, assumed central symbolic importance for the Jewish people. The sobriquet of holy city (עיר הקודש, transliterated ‘ir haqodesh) was probably attached to Jerusalem in post-exilic times. The holiness of Jerusalem in Christianity, conserved in the Septuagint which Christians adopted as their own authority, was reinforced by the New Testament account of Jesus's crucifixion there. In Sunni Islam, Jerusalem is the third-holiest city, after Mecca and Medina. In Islamic tradition, in 610 CE it became the first qibla, the focal point for Muslim prayer (salat), and Muhammad made his Night Journey there ten years later, ascending to heaven where he speaks to God, according to the Quran. As a result, despite having an area of only 0.9 square kilometres (0.35 sq mi), the Old City is home to many sites of seminal religious importance, among them the Temple Mount with its Western Wall, Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Outside the Old City stands the Garden Tomb.
Today, the status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, West Jerusalem was among the areas captured and later annexed by Israel while East Jerusalem, including the Old City, was captured and later annexed by Jordan. Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan during the 1967 Six-Day War and subsequently annexed it into Jerusalem, together with additional surrounding territory. One of Israel's Basic Laws, the 1980 Jerusalem Law, refers to Jerusalem as the country's undivided capital. ...

SUMMARY
=======
Haifa (Hebrew: חֵיפָה Ḥefa [χei̯ˈfa]; Arabic: حيفا‎ Ḥayfa) is the third-largest city in Israel – after Jerusalem and Tel Aviv – with a population of 281,087 in 2017. The city of Haifa forms part of the Haifa metropolitan area, the second- or third-most populous metropolitan area in Israel. It is home to the Bahá'í World Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a destination for Bahá'í pilgrims.Built on the slopes of Mount Carmel, the settlement has a history spanning more than 3,000 years. The earliest known settlement in the vicinity was Tell Abu Hawam, a small port city established in the Late Bronze Age (14th century BCE). In the 3rd century CE, Haifa was known as a dye-making center. Over the millennia, the Haifa area has changed hands: being conquered and ruled by the Canaanites, Israelites, Phoenicians, Persians, Hasmoneans, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Crusaders, Ottomans, and the British. Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the Haifa Municipality has governed the city.
As of 2016, the city is a major seaport located on Israel's Mediterranean coastline in the Bay of Haifa covering 63.7 square kilometres (24.6 sq mi). It lies about 90 kilometres (56 mi) north of Tel Aviv and is the major regional center of northern Israel. According to researcher Jonathan Kis-Lev, Haifa is considered a relative haven for coexistence between Jews and Arabs. Two respected academic institutions, the University of Haifa and the Technion, are located in Haifa, in addition to the largest K–12 school in Israel, the Hebrew Reali School. The city plays an important role in Israel's economy. It is home to Matam, one of the oldest and largest high-tech parks in the country; Haifa also owns the only underground rapid transit system located in Israel, known as the Carmelit. Haifa Bay is a center of heavy industry, petroleum refining and chemical processing. Haifa formerly functioned as the western terminus of an oil pipeline from Iraq via Jordan.

Fatah spokesman: Israel plans to “destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the alleged Temple”

Official Fatah Spokesman in Jerusalem Raafat Alayan: “[Israeli Prime Minister] Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israeli extreme right are acting to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, not only to divide it by times and areas... They want to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque and build the alleged Temple on the ruins of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.”
[Official PA TV, Sept. 15, 2015]

Division according to areas and times refers to a proposed law (May 2013) being reviewed in Israeli Parliament that would allow for both Jews and Muslims to pray on the Temple Mount. The law seeks to designate separate prayer times and areas of the site for Muslims and Jews.

8. CLEOPATRA’S TOMB
Cleopatra VII was the last and arguably the most well-known of the Ptolemies, a series of Egyptian rulers that ran the ancient empire from 305 B.C. to 30 B.C. She went down in history for her beauty and intelligence, and for her famous love affairs with Julius Caesar and Mark Antony, both of whom she had children with.

7. ATLANTIS
Scientists, researchers, and explorers have searched, and continue to search, for the lost city of Atlantis, to no avail. Atlantis was originally written about by Plato in 360 B.C. Plato described Atlantis as a once-booming hub of naval power that sank catastrophically into the ocean some 10,000 years ago as the result of a hugely tragic but unidentified event.

6. ANCIENT ANIMAL TRAPS
Until recently, archaeologists were puzzled about a series of lines throughout the eastern Sinai Desert in Israel, Egypt, and Jordan since their discovery in the early 20th century by British Royal Air Force pilots flying overhead. The lines, which have been nicknamed “kites” because of their shape, are made of low stone walls. They’re somewhere between 2,300 and 2,400 years old, and in some places throughout Jordan, form chains up to 40 miles long.

5. THE COPPER SCROLL TREASURE
The Qumran caves are famously known as the site where some of the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1952. But one lesser-known item was found alongside them: an ancient copper scroll thought to describe the existence of a hidden, massive hoard of gold and silver. The copper scroll dates back to a time when the Roman Empire controlled the Qumran region - approximately 2,000 years.

4. THE HOBBIT
In 2003, remains of one of the earliest human species, Homo floresiensis, were found on the Indonesian island of Flores. The remains of the extinct species date back to somewhere between 100,000 and 60,000 years ago.

3. VOYNICH MANUSCRIPT
The Voynich Manuscript is a book written in an unknown alphabet and contains a series of bizarre images and diagrams. It was possibly written in northern Italy during the Italian Renaissance in the early 15th century. The odd book was discovered in 1912 when it was purchased by a book dealer named Wilfrid Voynich, after who it has been named.

2. THE KHATT SHEBIB
In Jordan, there’s a 66-mile-long wall that has been a source of confusion for archaeologist ever since its discovery in in 1948. Nobody knows who built it, when, or why. Sir Alec Kirkbride, a British diplomat living in Jordan, was the first person to report the wall. While flying overhead, he saw stone wall running, for no obvious purpose, across country.

1. GOBEKLI TEPE
On a hill at the northern edge of the Fertile Crescent in Turkey lies Gobekli Tepe, a site containing massive, 11,000-year-old carved stones that predate Stonehenge by 4,000 years. The large stone pillars that have been excavated weigh between seven and ten tons and are arranged in rings measuring up to 65 feet in diameter. While some of them are blank, others contain detailed carvings of animals such as lions, vultures, scorpions, and foxes.

SUMMARY
=======
The Israeli–Palestinian conflict (Hebrew: הסכסוך הישראלי-פלסטיני‎, translit. Ha'Sikhsukh Ha'Yisraeli-Falestini; Arabic: النزاع-الفلسطيني الإسرائيلي‎, translit. al-Niza'a al-Filastini-al-Israili) is the ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians that began in the mid-20th century. The origins to the conflict can be traced back to Jewish immigration, and sectarian conflict in Mandatory Palestine between Jews and Arabs. It has been referred to as the world's most intractable conflict, with the ongoing Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip reaching 51 years.Despite a long-term peace process and the general reconciliation of Israel with Egypt and Jordan, Israelis and Palestinians have failed to reach a final peace agreement. The key issues are: mutual recognition, borders, security, water rights, control of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, Palestinian freedom of movement, and Palestinian right of return. The violence of the conflict, in a region rich in sites of historic, cultural and religious interest worldwide, has been the object of numerous international conferences dealing with historic rights, security issues and human rights, and has been a factor hampering tourism in and general access to areas that are hotly contested.Many attempts have been made to broker a two-state solution, involving the creation of an independent Palestinian state alongside the State of Israel (after Israel's establishment in 1948). In 2007, the majority of both Israelis and Palestinians, according to a number of polls, preferred the two-state solution over any other solution as a means of resolving the conflict. Moreover, a majority of Jews see the Palestinians' demand for an independent state as just, and thinks Israel can agree to the establishment of such a state. The majority of Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank and Gaza Strip have expressed a preference for a two-state solution. Mutual distrust and significant disagreements are deep over basic issues, as is the reciprocal scepticism about the other side's commitment to upholding obligations in an eventual agreement.Within Israeli and Palestinian society, the conflict generates a wide variety of views and opinions. This highlights the deep divisions which exist not only between Israelis and Palestinians, but also within each society. A hallmark of the conflict has been the level of violence witnessed for virtually its entire duration. Fighting has been conducted by regular armies, paramilitary groups, terror cells, and individuals. Casualties have not been restricted to the military, with a large number of fatalities in civilian population on both sides. There are prominent international actors involved in the conflict.
The two parties engaged in direct negotiation are the Israeli government, currently led by Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), currently headed by Mahmoud Abbas. The official negotiations are mediated by an international contingent known as the Quartet on the Middle East (the Quartet) represented by a special envoy, that consists of the United States, Russia, the European Union, and the United Nations. The Arab League is another important actor, which has proposed an alternative peace plan. Egypt, a founding member of the Arab League, has historically been a key participant. Jordan, having relinquished its claim to the West Bank in 1988 and holding a special role in the Muslim Holy shrines in Jerusalem, has also been a key participant.
Since 2006, the Palestinian side has been fractured by conflict between the two major factions: Fatah, the traditionally dominant party, and its later electoral challenger, Hamas. After Hamas's electoral victory in 2006, the Quartet conditioned future foreign assistance to the Palestinian National Authority (PA) on the future government's commitment to no ...

Mysteries of the Bible: Biblical Archaeology

Like the swashbuckling hero in Raiders of the Lost Ark, George Washington University Professor Eric H. Cline has a taste for adventure. On campus, he's a sought-after professor of classics and anthropology. But off campus, he travels the world unearthing clues to ancient times. An acclaimed archaeologist, Dr. Cline has led excavations across the Middle East for more than thirty years. He's dug up daggers and bowls, discovered fragments of frescoes, and searched for evidence of biblical heroes and events. Was Abraham a real person? Did the Exodus actually happen? Dr. Cline, author of Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction, will explore these mysteries and more with National Geographic Magazine's archaeology editor, Kristin Romey, at the Center for Jewish History. From 19th-century theologians who first headed to the Holy Land with a bible in one hand and a trowel in another, to the secrets 21st-century technology reveals, they'll dig into this fascinating field and investigate the biblical mysteries archaeologists can and can't solve.

Mysteries of the Bible: Biblical Archaeology is part of Very Short Introductions: Short Talks on Big Subjects, a series produced in partnership with Oxford University Press and featuring authors of Oxford’s Very Short Introduction books.

SUMMARY
=======
The Suez Crisis, or the Second Arab–Israeli War, also named the Tripartite Aggression in the Arab world and Operation Kadesh or Sinai War in Israel, was an invasion of Egypt in late 1956 by Israel, followed by the United Kingdom and France. The aims were to regain Western control of the Suez Canal and to remove Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser, who had just nationalized the canal. After the fighting had started, political pressure from the United States, the Soviet Union and the United Nations led to a withdrawal by the three invaders. The episode humiliated the United Kingdom and France and strengthened Nasser.On 29 October, Israel invaded the Egyptian Sinai. Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to cease fire, which was ignored. On 5 November, Britain and France landed paratroopers along the Suez Canal. The Egyptian forces were defeated, but they did block the canal to all shipping. It later became clear that the Israeli invasion and the subsequent Anglo-French attack had been planned beforehand by the three countries.
The three allies had attained a number of their military objectives, but the canal was useless. Heavy political pressure from the United States and the USSR led to a withdrawal. U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower had strongly ...
