  4. I love all the pictures. I would like to preserve them. Therefore, I have been painting in oil a couple of them. And some in pencil and ink. I love you Israel. Some day, before I leave this world I would like to visit.

  5. My favorites are the 'firsts' - first photos of the Western Wall, Kever Rachel, Maarat Hamachpela... Also those documenting immigrants from Middle Eastern and further countries. And those showing the daily life of Jews so many years ago. It's all fascinating!

  7. The 1913 photo "Old Road from Shechem to Jerusalem," with the wagons passing each other which shows those very ancient terraces just waiting for the people of Israel to come home and replant. Actually, any of the landscapes of Judea and Samaria that show how empty the land really was back then; such as views of Shechem, Jacob's Well, Joseph's Tomb, Rachel's Tomb, Mt Gerizim (Har Bracha). Thanks for giving me the chance to share, Sue
