News Update on JUC Website

Greetings Torah fans!

First things first, sorry for the long delay in posting. As the semester settles down a bit, I'm going to be updating the blog on more of a weekly basis as opposed to a daily basis. I promise at least one post per week, and it will usually be more than that.

The Director of JUC posted a brief news update along with some of his pics on the JUC website. The link is:

Just click on the big picture of the students in Hezekiah's tunnel for additional photographs of our first few field trips.

I've got an action-packed weekend ahead of me. Tomorrow is an 11+ hour field trip entitled "Jerusalem Approaches." We are going to be exploring Bethlehem, and also walking down the Jericho road into Jerusalem. The Jericho road is the road Jesus took into Jerusalem just days before his execution. It is also the road Jesus mentions in the Parable of the Good Samaritan. It should be interesting and exciting to take a walk down this road. On tap for Sunday is a 4 hour field trip where we will be studying the Archaeology of ancient Jerusalem with one of the most famous Archaeologists in the world, Dr. Gabriel Barkay. There was a pretty cool article about Dr. Barkay in last months episode of Biblical Archaeology Review. Also, in this months issue there is a great article on the Pool of Siloam. As you may remember from an earlier post, we were able to visit the Pool of Siloam last week.

Alright, that is is for now. Stay tuned this weekend for a couple of updates on everything I learn during the 2 action-packed field trips! Until then, stay dusty my friends!

Serving Him,

Rob Kol
