Throughout my posts I added links to various webpages but thought it might be helpful to have an alphabetical list to make them quicker and easier to find. I’ve also added some links here that I did not include in my journal entries because they provide excellent information for those who cannot travel to Israel. This list of links is not comprehensive for Israel or all the places on our itinerary. Any web search will find hundreds more websites, including other blogs, some with videos.

Ponder the meaning of the resurrection at one of the most peaceful places in Jerusalem. See also Jerusalem.com below for three short videos about the Garden Tomb.

Explore an absolute treasure trove of media about Jerusalem when you go to this site! Besides videos on the Garden Tomb (and other places), it has articles about numerous topics, both historical and current, a news tab, a 3-D photo section, an interactive map, travel information about hotels, and much more. I highly recommend it!
Watch videos on the discovery and preservation of this first-century boat found buried in the mud of the Sea of Galilee. Discover explanations of Jewish holidays under the “Learning Center” tab.

At this time they are the oldest Scriptures found and predate the Dead Sea Scrolls by 400 years.

When leading tours to Mesoamerica (Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and parts of Honduras) we make our own travel arrangements, but for Israel we worked with Pilgrim Tours. We did not take one of their tours, but they helped us with arrangements in Israel.
