The modern addition to the Inn of the Good Samaritan, on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho, reflected the desert of the Judean Hills.
Here's the view from inside.The tour group I was with yesterday was viewing the mosaics.
Opened in 2009, this is now one of the biggest mosaics museums in the world.
You arrive at the glass construction after passing through the 3 or 4 arches and galleries in the old Turkish building.
Oops, another reflection for Weekend Reflections.You can enlarge the photo and read Jesus' parable of the Good Samaritan.

More about the old/new Inn of the Good Samaritan next week.
Meanwhile, you can read more about it here or see a short video here.

Shabbat shalom.

That is a wonderful reflection of the desert of the Judean Hills, Dina! Oh, I hope I will see that next December!
ReplyDeleteI love the view of the Judean Hills desert from inside the glass walls. Totally appropriate for a desert inn.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series of photos! But especially love the romantic reflection of the Judaean Hills!
ReplyDeleteMe too, I think the view of the Judean Hills is just breathtaking!

Dear Dina, thanks for being such a constant visitor of my blog! Yours is a constant source of inspiration for me...
ReplyDeleteGreetings from sunny Tel Aviv :)
Not quite how I imagined it ;) but I love that first reflection photo.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pleasant trip and the info, an added bonus.
ReplyDeleteI appreciated those links - thanks! Something new to see if I ever make it back to Israel.
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom, although Shabbat is almost over! I love mosaics, so this museum is very interesting I believe. Thanks for the parabel Jesus told us, He was a great story teller and a wise Jew.
ReplyDeleteI wish you too a happy mother's day, Dina. Shalom!
One more thing to see if I will be back over there...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a wonderful museum. Can't wait to see more.
