Situation is too complicated for me to blog about, so today let's have a simple post instead.
For ABC Wednesday S is for tiny bottles of Sea of Galilee water and corked bottles of synagogue sand.
Only 8 shekels.
At the Magdala gift shop for pilgrims and tourists.

The song Sand and Water comes to mind.
ReplyDeleteWilliam, you mean this song? https://youtu.be/k-kvYYPYWFg
ReplyDeleteI hear it for the first time now. And like it. Thanks.
Melody, you remind me that little things like earth and water of the Holy Land are precious to those who are far away, while we in Israel just take them for granted.
Dr. Anita, the "Jesus boat" that was found just south of Magdala is now in a museum of a kibbutz on the shore of Sea of Galilee.
What a nice gift for Folks to bring home with them.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have the Sea of Galilee water, someday If I get to visit. My BIL was baptized there last year.

Probably very handy to have those items in the gift shop. - Margy

Guess there is a market for everything! Loved our visit to Isreal. I tell everyone it is the only country I haven't gotten food poisoning in!

Very entrepreneurial!
ReplyDeleteBusiness is business and tourists buy everything....
ReplyDeleteI heard that in Naples (Italy) they sell small bottles with the air of Naples (aria di Napoli).
