Those who have not been to Israel may not realize how diverse it is. Even among Israel’s seven million Jewish citizens there is considerable diversity, as Beverly Hall and Cathy Helms found out. In this second part of our conversation, they begin by sharing the differences they noticed between secular and religious Jews. It was their intent to immerse themselves in Israeli culture and get to know the people. That’s what they did in Tel Aviv, and in this segment we hear about their adventures in Jerusalem!

Jerusalem is part of the territory allotted in ancient times to the tribe of Benjamin. Barry Phillips and David Jones point out that Benjamin is between the tribal territories of Judah and Ephraim, which leads them to investigate the role of Benjamin as a Bridge. There’s a Kingdom message in this, which is what we hear in the music of the Exodus Road Band and Mason Clover.
