Faith in the Holy Land
Ironic as it may be, Christian tourism to Israel is fuelling this country’s economy like at no other time. It is this group – spurned on by popular evangelical pastors in the US – that have become the nation’s most ardent supporters.
Ilana Goor
Walk through massive stone entrance hall of the Ilana Goor Museum in the historic port-town of Jaffa in Israel, and you will likely feel as if you had just entered an eclectic artistic jungle. Interspersed throughout the fascinating collection are the contemporary and the classical, the refined to the naïve, the secular to the religious.
Imagining history
Only in Israel can a lake become a sea as the Sea of Galilee. Only here can you float magically in the strange and acidy waters of the Dead Sea; and it is only here that the earth below your feet reveals tales that can easily become a gathering call for nations or religions, and even calls to arms. It is the conflicting tales of the history bellow your feet that represent the magic that impregnates the Holy Land.
