DESPITE conlict in the region and worries over security, plenty of people still travel to Israel, with around 3.5 million annually visiting the Holy City of Jerusalem alone.
So why should my relections on my recent trip be any diferent? Especially when Church groups and readers of Life and Work will regularly organise pilgrimages to visit sites such as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre; the Via Dolarosa and Bethlehem? I too had visited Israel before on a cruise in 2013 with my wife, but I had never had the chance to stay for this extended period of time. Not for this type of intense study. And not as it would turn out, with this impact on me in terms of my possible route into ministry, which I have been considering as part of the discernment process. Yet again, the intoxicating Holy Land was about to grab me and not let go.
This was all due to my 10-day Teacher Study Visit to Yad Vashem, organised by the Holocaust Educational Trust. Our visit included several days of lectures from experts in areas such as the teaching of the Holocaust in schools; Judaism; Antisemitism; the Israeli Palestinian conlict, and also an in depth tour of the various memorials at the emotional Yad Vashem site. We were also given a taste of wider Israel, with excursions to the Old City of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, as well as Masada and the Dead Sea.
