New Jerusalem






On the top left is the memorial garden for those Gentiles who helped the Jews during WWII.  On the top right is the Dead Sea scrolls museum.  The scrolls are under this structure, which is supposed to look like the end of a scroll.  The rest of the pictures are a large-scale model of Jerusalem before it was destroyed by the Romans.  I also went to the Holocaust museum there but pictures were not allowed.  It is a solemn, quiet place, full of pictures and objects about the horrors that the Jew suffered during WWII.  I never cease to learn something new of the terrors that happened then.  It never seems to end.  I don't get the whole anti-Semite thinking.  Even now, they continue to be targeted, like that synagogue shooting last week in CA.  It's like there are people that think the Jews have no right to live.  That is crazy thinking.

I took lots of pictures of the model, even though I didn't know what I was looking at, except for the last one, that is a picture of the Temple.  Now only the Western wall remains.  Again, it is anti-Semite thinking, it seems, to cause the Romans to destroy this town.  When will it ever end for them?
