Galilee.. finally
Sorry that it took me so long to get this up. I’ve been busy all week. Shabbat is the best day for me to blog.
So, as I recall, I left off before talking about the talent show. My friends Bekah, Jocelyn, Kerri, Shannon, and I decided to do an act for the talent show. We named our act “Studying, Live”. Sounds thrilling doesn’t it. :) We wrote a rap-like poem that summarized the entire Old Testament. It was really fun.

Everyone watching us study on stage.
On Shabbat, I had a fairly normal day until the evening. With my cousin Brent’s permission, I used a fun toy he bought called a Slingbox. It transmits a TV signal over the internet to one remote user. We used this contraption to get the BYU-UTAH football game. It was at 9 pm our time. We projected the game onto a big screen in the forum, our lecture hall. We had about 25 students and two leaders who stayed up all evening till 1215 to watch the game. It was a lot of fun. None of us had seen much football, if any, all season, so we really enjoyed it. After all, it was the Holy War in the Holy Land on the Holy Day!
On Monday we woke up at 5 to get ready, eat breakfast, and head up to Northern Galilee. We first went to Hazor, a large city of ruins that was held by Canaanites, Israelites, and destroyed by the Assyrians. We next went to Dan. Dan marked the northern edge of Israel in Bible times. We walked through beautiful woods to see the start of the Dan river (a tributary of the Jordan) that feeds the area. The river comes out of the ground as a river. It was pretty cool and very beautiful.
Sadly, Jeroboam built an altar here during his reign as the first king of divided Israel. There is a lovely stainless steel replica of his altar at the site.
After Dan we went to Banias. Banias became NT Caesarea Philippi. It was very beautiful.
Our last stop was Nimrod’s castle. The castle is really a Mameluke fortress. It was a blast to explore. We had fun climbing to the tops of towers and climbing through little tunnels. We found what looked like a tennis court, but discovered it was water covered with something green.
Green covered water… weird.

After Nimrod’s we headed to Ein Gev, where we stayed all week. The hotel is run by a Kibbutz. We stayed in little bungalows. They were little tiny houses with 5 beds and a sofa bed. Luckily, we only put four people in a room. The hotel is on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. We sat on the beach all week, but because it was late November/early December, there was no life guard which meant no swimming. We throughly enjoyed ourselves though. We had bonfires nearly every night. We walked through the waves and watched beautiful sunsets. It was wonderful!
For this field trip, we only had one bus for the week. Because we usually have two buses, this means that half the students (one religion class), were left at Ein Gev everyday. So on the days you don’t have a field trip you have class. On Monday, I had three hours of New Testament classes in the morning. After lunch, we all sat on the beach doing our homework. It was so peaceful.
On Tuesday, we had a field trip called the Sea of Galilee Field Trip. We started off the day taking a boat ride across the Sea. The drivers of our boat were really funny. They played good Southern Gospel music, threw bread to the seagulls, and even started our ride with the raising of a US flag and the Star Spangled Banner.
Rachel, Bekah, and I on the Sea of Galilee.
Seagulls following our boat.
We had a mini lecture on the boat about a few of the stories that took place on the Sea, like the calming of the Sea. It was very touching to do them there.
The boat dropped us off at Nof Ginosar, where the was a display of a 2,000 year old fishing boat. It was really cool to see what the boats would have looked like.
After the boat we went to the Mount of Beatitudes. Sadly, because it was the end of November, the hillside was pretty dead. There was some very well taken care of grounds as well as a cute little church.
After the Mount we went to an area called Tabgha. This is where traditionally, a number of Jesus’ miracles took place. We went to churches commemorating the feeding of the 5,000 and of the 4,000. We also saw the traditional site of where Jesus came to his disciples in Galilee after his resurrection (feed my sheep).

We then went to Capernaum. There are a number of ruins at Capernaum. There are ruins of what is believed to be Peter’s house. There are also ruins of several churches that were built around Peter’s house. The ruins of a 4th Century synagogue built on the base of the 1st Century synagogue where Jesus would have taught.

After Capernaum we went back to Ein Gev for dinner. I sat on the beach and watched the sunset with some of my friends.
The city lights that can be seen in the distance are Tiberias. I love sunsets!
On Wednesday, I again had 3 hours of New Testament. In the afternoon, however, we went on a hike through the Golan Heights. It was beautiful. We went down into a gorge and saw a few beautiful waterfalls. We swam in a FREEZING cold lake, at the base of one of the waterfalls. It was really fun to see eachother’s reactions as we entered the water.
On Thursday we went back to the Golan to visit several historical sites. First we went to Gamla. Gamla was a city built in 1st Century BC. It was in a very defendable position. Initially the Jews inhabiting the city decided not to rebel against the Romans in AD 67. However a group of Jewish extremists convinced them to rebel. Eventually 9,000 Jews died either defending the city or by committing suicide to avoid Roman slavery.
You can see the synagogue of Gamla at the bottom of the picture. The whole mount was once covered with the city.
After Gamla, we went to a rebuilt 4th Century Jewish city called Qazrin. It was rebuilt by the Israelis to show that they had right to the Golan Heights because their people had been there before the Syrians.
After Qazrin we hurried back to Ein Gev so the other class could go on the hike we had done the day before. That day the lake got very misty. You couldn’t see across to Tiberias. The boats on the Sea looked like they were floating in air.
The fog however made the sun look really cool.
It started to get very windy in the evening and it continued through the weekend. On Friday, I had 3 hours of New Testament as well as 2 hours of Near Eastern Studies. I slept in the afternoon to help me get over a cold that I had been developing.
On Shabbat, my class spent the morning studying on the beach while the other class went to Tiberias to have church with the Galilee branch. The Branch house was far too small to have both classes join the branch, and we only had one bus to get us there. In the afternoon my class went to the Branch house and had our own Sacrament meeting. It was very nice. The Branch house sits on a hill in Tiberias overlooking the Sea of Galilee. It was a beautiful view.  There are three branches in Israel. One in Jerusalem at the JC, one in Tel Aviv and one in Tiberias. The branch in Tiberias has 50 members on the role, but because of the difficulty of getting to Tiberias, only about 20 show up each week. The branch has to accommodate the very diverse group of saints that live in its boundaries.
Thus the meeting has pieces in four different languages, English, Russian, Spanish, and Hebrew. It was so cool to see!

On Sunday, my class went first to Mount Tabor. It was pouring rain the entire time we were on the mount. We first went into the church on the mount and sang a few hymns, but then we were kicked out so other tourists could come see the church.
We went to a small covered area next to the church. The only problem was that the roof was not leak-proof. Brother Draper was teaching an excellent lesson about the Transfiguration, but students kept randomly screaming as water suddenly came raining down on them. It was a fun lesson. We then ran back to our taxis that took us down the mount, getting soaked in the process, and went to Nain.
In Nain there was a cute little church honoring the raising of the widow’s son. The church had a wonderful spirit.
After Nain we visited the Bet-Alpha synagogue. The synagogue had a mosaic floor from the 6th century. The mosaic shows how the Jewish faith was changing through the ages.
After the synagogue we went to a swimming hole called Gan Hash’alosha. We had a blast swimming in warmer waters than we had been in early in the week in the Golan. There were little fish that would nibble on your feet if you held them still long enough. It tickled a lot! There was also a waterfall that felt like a really high-powered shower. It was a blast.
Me, Risa, Kendra, Bekah, Amy, Lauren, Becca, Craig, Sam, AnnaLisa, and Ryan in a waterfall.
After swimming we headed to a Roman-Byzantine city named Bet-She’an. It was the capital of the Decapolis, 10 Roman cities in the Near East.  There were tons of ruins that we had a fun time climbing through.

Sunday was our last sunset in Galilee. Consequently there were tons of us down on the shores walking through the water and taking in the beauty.
We weren’t disappointed!
On Monday, we packed everything up and left Ein Gev. We took the Med Sea route home. We first stopped at Bet Sher’im. It was a necropolis (city of the dead). There were 31 handcut tombs that had up to 200 graves each.
In a tomb!
After the necropolis, we went to the Bahai Gardens. The Bahai are a religious group who believe in many of the ancient prophets from many different faiths. They believe that God sends a prophet to the earth every few hundred years to help direct the people. The gardens were in the city of Haifa. They were absolutely gorgeous.
The gardens continue all the way up the hill as well as a ways down the hill from this point.  After the gardens we went to the Haifa Templar Cemetery.  There are a number of Latter-day Saints buried in the cemetery. The cemetery helped the Church get permission to build this building because it proved that the church has had a presence in this land since before the state of Israel was founded (this has to do with a strange policy of Israel’s dealing with Christian churches: only those with a presence already established in Israel are allowed to continue building and expanding sites here.). After Haifa we headed back to the JC for a very restful evening. It was a wonderful week in Galilee. We really enjoyed ourselves. We saw so much stuff. It was amazing.
I plan on writing about what happened since I got back from Galilee, later this evening. We’ll see if that actually happens. I love you all!

Sarah, I am jealous of your experiences in Galilee. I’m glad you’ve had this experience you’ll remember the rest of your life. You are also a very good photographer. I suspect you’ve learned a few things from your Dad. Your sunset pictures are beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Isral. Uncle Bob
