Jerusalem Log #6 - Friday 05.05.17 Jerusalem, Israel - “Ice Cream in All Flavors”
“Ice Cream in All Flavors”
Steve Martin
Jerusalem
Log #6 - Friday 05.05.17
Greetings
from the land of Israel.
I
certainly have enjoyed writing these brief daily logs. I hope you have found
pleasure in reading them!
We
each have our favorite flavor of ice cream. For some, the standard, foundational
choices of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry satisfy just fine. Neapolitan I believe
if you want all three at once. For the bold and adventurous type, Rocky Road,
Mint Chocolate Chip or Carmel Pecan does it for you.
For
me – it’s Rocky Road baby! (Mint chocolate is a close second.)
When
it comes to the inhabitants and amazing cultures in Israel, here too there are
many flavors. Just among the Jews themselves you have variations ranging from the
Ultra-Orthodox, the Messianics, the secular, and a few in between each.

Then
there are the Arab Christians, the Arab Muslims, and I suppose just Arabs. I
know a few shop owners in the Old City who would probably adhere to one label,
but really not devoted to religion but primarily their daily business.
And
within the mix of all this, especially in the larger cities of Jerusalem, Tel
Aviv, Eilat and Tiberias, of course you have the tourists. Now there for sure is
a wide choice of creams in all colors, shapes and sizes.
Not
only have the Jewish people returned to their Land permanently with aliyah, to join those already living here, you
also have in the Land at all times the tourists coming for a few days or a few
weeks. They too have arrived from England, France, Germany, Russia, China,
Japan, India, Brazil, Kenya, Canada, and of course the good old US of A, from where I reside
in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. Walking through the historical and
spiritual sites, you hear all the different languages and thank the Lord that
He is not a “one flavor” God. He creates and loves them all.

For
those who have had the great joy of coming to Israel on a tour or to visit
friends as I do, you know what I am talking about. For the ones reading this
who never have, and hope to, I am glad to share my heart in words, pictures and
videos with you. May you experience a taste of Israel through these, and enjoy
your favorite ice cream while you do! (Pass the chocolate syrup please.)
Ahava
(love) and Shalom (peace) from Israel!

Day of Praise at Ramat Rachel with the CJCUC in Jerusalem

Day of Praise at Ramat Rachel with the CJCUC
Independence Day, May 2, 2017 Jerusalem, Israel
This 69th Independence Day in Israel, after a picnic in the Sacher Park, I attended the Day To Praise gathering at the Ramat
Rachel Conference Center in southeast Jerusalem. The CJCUC (The Center For
Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation) began this event in 2014 during
Sukkot. Now Orthodox Jews and Christians are coming together to have these
Hallel (praise) services, enjoying music, messages and reciting a series of
Psalms on Independence Day also, here in Jerusalem and around the world.
In
January of 2008, a historical moment took place between the Synagogue and
Church, when Rabbi Shlomo Riskin and David Nekrutman established the first
Orthodox Jewish institution, the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding
& Cooperation (CJCUC), to religiously dialogue and actively cooperate with
Christians. In less than a decade, CJCUC has moved to the forefront of
theological advancements in Jewish-Christian relations. CJCUC has changed the
paradigm by interfacing with tens of thousands of Christians through bible
studies, faith based events that bring Jews and Christians together, and
providing humanitarian aid.
Several
Christian groups had representatives taking part in this “shouldering
together”, including Sharon Sanders from Christian Friends of Israel and
Bridges for Peace personnel.
