Eilat - is it a city or a paradise?

So we went on past our kinsmen the descendants of Esav living in Se’ir, left the road through the Aravah from Eilat and Etzyon.Gever, and turned to pass along the road through the desert of Moav. D’varim.(Deuteronomy) 2:8 

  

Indeed, the G-d of Israel took His children all the way to Eilat during their wanderings in the wilderness. Yes, even G-d gives His children a vacation retreat.

   

Today people come from all over the world to vacation in Eilat. However to the Jews who live there, it is home. It can also be your Home. Since Eilat is host to people from all over the world, the people who live there can be considered Ambassadors for Israel.

They are the face of Israel to all the guests coming to visit this Beautiful Sea Shore site on the Gulf of Aqaba, which branches out from the Red Sea. Today over 50,000 people live in Eilat.    

   

Eilat is about a 4-hour drive from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. However there are flights into and out of Eilat. EL-AL flies into Eilat and so does First Choice Airways of U.K. In less then an hour you can be at Ben Gurion Airport. Residents of Eilat also receive a discount on flights going to the north that no one else in Israel gets. This compensates them for living in a more remote área.

Jerusalem a Modern Miracle

 

Ramat Shlomo

 

 

This wall which surrounds the Walled City is two and one half miles of lime stone. It encompasses an area of approximately one square kilometer. This is the size of the Old City. The ancient city of David is located on the south side out side the wall and borders the Kidron Valley.

 

 

 

 

In front of the Jewish Quarter is the Har HaBayit (Temple Mount). Facing the Jewish Quarter is the Kotel (Western wall of prayer). It is a retaining wall of the second Temple which was restored by King Herod. However the Romans failed to destroy it.

 

 

 

One thing all Israelis understand is that food here is good. Israel grows almost every type of fruit and vegetable you could ask for. This is the world famous Mahane Yehuda Shuk (Market) on Yafo street in Jerusalem. Buy what is good. Buy a wide range of fruits and vegetables all grown in Israel. Israel may be the only nation in the world self sufficient in food. Also other items can be purchased here.

Kotel

"I was glad when they said unto me, 'let us go into the House of Hashem. Our feet shall stand within your Gates O Jerusalem. Built up Jerusalem is like a city that is united together, where the tribes go up, the tribes of Hashem, unto the testimony of Israel, to give thanks to the Name of Hashem.'" Tehillim.122:1-4 

 

"For Zion's sake will I not hold My Shalom, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a Lamp that burns.....You who make mention of  Hashem, do not keep silent, and give Him no rest until HE establishes and until HE makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth." Yesha'yahu.62:1,6,7
