Spent a wonderful day with Dalia and Efi Cohen (our friends whom we have
been living with this past week) exploring Nazareth and its
surrounding areas. Luke 4:29 speaks of the hill where the crowd tried to
push Jesus over the cliff, Mt Precipice. This may have been the place
where this event occurred, either way the view was majestic. Mt Tabor
where the transfiguration happened could be seen in the distance,
Mathew 17.
Recent renovations to the Russian Orthodox Church uncovered a labyrinth of ancient Jewish caves/ houses beneath the surface with tunnels used for hiding from the Romans. This was a highlight. A Jewish saying is "you cannot dig anywhere without having your ancestors on your back "
We had lunch with Shaked Cohen, falafel of course....
