It’s not easy. Frostbite, twisted ankles, high altitude pulmonary edema […]
Steeped in history, culture, and religion, Israel is a country of stark contrast and complexity. It’s a land where faiths collide and diverge, where ancient ruins stand next to modern skyscrapers, and where the spiritual is tangible. Nowhere is this more apparent than in Jerusalem.
