Israel is the Jewish people's ancient Promised Land...the goal of Jewish dreams, hopes, prayers and travels for three thousand years. Since Israel was reborn in 1948, Jewish Americans have created a very special place in their hearts for visits to Israel. And no one belongs here more than you	The visit to Israel in 2000 by Pope John Paul II underscored the centrality of pilgrimage to the Holy Land for Roman Catholics. Visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, standing atop the Mount of Beatitudes or the Mount of Transfiguration, seeing the children of Cana play in the gardens where water was once turned into wine, pausing beneath the two millennia-old olive trees of the Garden of Gethsemane - are unforgettable moments in Christian experience. And no one belongs here more than you.	Visiting Israel adds a whole new dimension to understanding the Bible and the life of Jesus of Nazareth. To walk in the footsteps of the disciples...to hear the waves of the Sea of Galilee lapping the shore at Capernaum...to stand on the Mount of Olives and gaze at the panorama of Jerusalem...to visit the empty tomb...all this and more is an indelible part of visiting Israel. And no one belongs here more than you.
