Humor In The Holy Land
While there is so much reverence and respect in Israel (especially at The Holiest Sites), the Israeli people do love a good laugh, good music, and good wine. I wanted to briefly share a little bit of the lighter side of my Holy Land Trip.
One of my favorite pictures from this pilgrimage is the one above of a group of young Jewish school boys out on a field trip. Our tour group was just leaving the Temple Mount area and they had just arrived.
It had turned out to be a beautiful morning and I quickly snapped a picture of them as they gathered on the street corner, their school masters checking to make sure everyone was there. Later on the bus, I looked back on my phone and noticed what I had captured. Just look at the joy on the face of little Mr. Tan Pants there in the middle. Is that pure happiness or what?
I don’t know your name, little guy; but whenever my mood is a little down, I look at that picture and you make me smile. There is so much joy in the world, and it all started in your little part of the world. Anybody know the Hebrew word for “ringleader”? I’m pretty sure we found him.
We cried a bit in Israel, (I’d dare any Christian to try not to!) but BOY did we laugh, too! I wanted to share with you some of the humor of The Holy Land, from funny souvenir t-shirts to big, fat camel kisses. It’s another part of The Holy Land that I’ll always remember and you can read about it by clicking on my Facebook page below.
