Connecting Point 11-22-23 This past May I was in Israel with a Group from our Church, learning and growing together as we retraced the steps of Jesus in the Land of the Bible. Oftentimes when I take a group to Israel we visit the Yad Vashem, the Holocaust Museum In Jerusalem, When we do visit Yad …
