Day 7!!!

Today we went to the wailing wall. A few people left prayers in the wall. These prayers are then collected by some rabbis and buried on the Mt of Olives because they are holy, being prayers written down.
We then went to David's city were the old Jerusalem was. Here we learned that Davids city was the original Jerusalem after he captured the city from the Jebusites. Later when his descendent Hezekiah ruled, the city was changed. Jerusalem's water source was outside the city so when the city was threatened by a siege Hezekiah built a wall around the water source and the houses outside the original city limits. He also ordered men to reroute the water channel from a spring all the way down to a pool. The men did this. One group started at one end and another at the other end. The waterway twisted and turned but by God's help they met!
We got to walk through the tunnel! The water was up to midthigh and cold!
Then we went to the Israel Museum where the dead sea scrolls are kept and other writings they found at Qumran. They also have the micro bible which is the world's smallest Bible!
After this we went to the ICEJ headquarters and learned about what they do and how they help people in Israel, Palestine and other places.
There are so many amazing opportunities to get involved and support Israel!
