Day 14

Free day with 2 hour class this afternoon in preparation for Galilee (we leave early Monday AM for Galilee). Went to the Israel museum this morning.

Shrine of the book – Qumran scrolls/fragments displayed inside. I saw fragments from Isaiah and Habakkuk.
Qumran Cave 1 storage jar
Model of the Second Temple looking down from the Mount of Olives on to the east wall
Model of the second temple viewing east wall
Looking toward the south wall of the temple model
Looking toward the southwest corner of the model
Grain storage jar from the Jordan valley
Beersheba pottery – butter churn – ropes used to rock back and forth
7th-8th century oil lamps discovered at Tiberias
The original holy of holies from the Arad fortress. We saw a replica of this on Day 11. This is the original.
A good friend of Jerusalem University College (where we are doing our short term course) has a shop. This is where we exchange currency. He was trying to sell me this clothing item. I didn’t buy it. Just doesn’t quite fit my life in Iowa! Ha!
