Interested in creative ways of visiting
well-known sites, as well as those lesser-known off-the
beaten-pathways? Then subscribe to my free monthly “Holy
Sites:
Gila's Highlights.” Last month's highlight
was: "Let's scan the Philistine
battlefield from Azekah." This month's
highlight is: "Let's cruise through the Land
of the Gadarenes." Next month's highlight
will be: "Let's lament Saul at Beth Shean."

Tips
for Tours gives you fun and practical ideas culled
from collaboration with hundreds of ministers, priests,
rabbis, teachers, professors, and facilitators I have
team-guided with over the years. If you are
considering leading a Holy Land Tour, then you may want
to check out "A to Z
for Holy Land Tour Leaders."
Songs & Praise provides
transliterated words for the Hebrew songs I teach on bus
rides and the blessing we recite upon seeing Jerusalem
for the first time.
Ask Gila
answers your questions about archeology, Armageddon, biblical
spices, the holy climate, excavations on the Temple
Mount, Judaism, Hebrew, the Dead Sea and even holy land spiders!
If you’d like to know how
other pilgrims have experienced the Sea of Galilee, the
Garden of Gethsemane, baptism in the River Jordan,
healing at Capernaum, prayer at the
Western Wall or wandering the Wilderness of Zin, look at
Pilgrims
Talk.
Finally,
About
Gila is an interview with yours truly, answering
questions asked, time and again, usually on that first
drive from the Ben-Gurion Airport.
