Today was day 4 in Israel and we traveled from our host families in Katmiel Musgave to Tel Aviv. We saw several religious sites that are important in Christianity, including Magdala and the Church of the Beatitudes. It is incredible to learn about places that are important in various religions within a single country, as well as experience cultural differences. We visited an art gallery in Um el-Fahm and had our first exposure to an Arabic perspective of art and culture. Today’s experiences were truly unique in learning first-hand the viewpoints, opinions and expressions of the various groups that reside in the small country of Israel.
