The Last Shabbat

Just a quick summary of our last day. Most of us walked along the top of the wall surrounding the old city of Jerusalem. It was interesting and fun. For a change I have no self searching indepth comments--just fun and interesting. We followed the morning with a trip to the Israel Museum where we saw the actual Dead Sea Scrolls from between 200 BCE to 68 CE and the Aleppo Codex, the oldest pieces of Torah we have from about 1000 CE. Really interesting for anyone who studied about the establish of the official Jewish canon like I have with my study group.

A final wonderful farewell dinner to the official CBST Israel group and off they went to the airport. Bonnie and I will be here for another 2 1/2 to 3 weeks and will keep you posted.
