Zippori






Bokar Tov!! This morning at 8am (so don't you think we are sleeping in) we headed North after checking out of our hotel. We drove past the seperation fence on our way to Zippori or Tsippori or...well you get the point!! We learned that it's post second Temple early settlements of jews and non-jews. Its where the Rabbis finally decided to write the laws and history down to preserve it. Off in the distance we saw the place where Jesus' grandparents (Mark said his bubie and zayde) lived. There was Roman influence and beautiful mosaics. A presence of Muslums, who abonded the area in the 1940's. Off to Nasareth for lunch and the site of the annunciation. More later......
