    That was such an awesome tour! And this was a great video summary of it. For those who weren’t there, Dr. Mazar gave us about 4 hours of her time on the tour–splendid!!!

    Thanks for the video. I see some familiar faces. How awesome to go to the Feast in Jerusalem. I would love to go on the tour one day. Walking through the pages of the bible would be so exciting and interesting, talk about having the vision right in front of you, I bet that helps in keeping your focus where it needs to be. Again Awesome and thanks.
