Thanks Judy,
I really enjoyed this view of Bethlehem.
I did not make it to Jerusalem this year.
I did work in the Birya Forest where the workers and I planted many trees in between rain storms.

Thank you. Fascinating to see and hear your comments. Someday when the Messiah returns we will know exactly where in or around Bethlehem He was born.

Every year it's a different story there. Anyone with a press card and/or a foreign passport can easily get to Bethlehem.
