A Clip from Gat Hefer

After a lovely day of study I realized I had forgotten to post anything from our Galilee trip like I planned. So, here's a brief clip from our visit to Gat Hefer, the hometown of Jonah the son of Amittai, the prophet whose book we're studying in class. As our instructors said, it's not an exciting place to visit, but certainly exotic. Most of the local inhabitants looked at us rather quizzically as we drew near the historic tell which is entirely unexcavated. But it's also a place the Jesus would have walked past regularly as he went down to the Sea of Galilee from his town of Nazareth as a boy.

Hopefully more tomorrow and some reflections on being half-way through the course...Shabbat Shalom.
