Visit the Gihon Springs – the original water source for Jerusalem, the excavation of a typical Israelite house, the lower city wall and the cistern where Jeremiah was imprisoned. We walk through the Hezekiah Tunnel to the pool of Siloam, the place of Jesus’s miracle in John 9. This tunnel acted as an aqueduct to provide Jerusalem with water during a siege. We drive to the Ophel Garden - a recently excavated archeological site near the southern wall of Temple Mount. We have time to reflect on the southern steps. Jesus would have entered the Temple via these steps.  Afterwards, if circumstances allow,  we visit the Temple Mount where we see the Dome of the Rock. Leaving the Mount, we visit the Western Wall, the holiest site of current day Jewish reverence. We walk from the plaza through the Rabbinical tunnels viewing the engineering marvel of the wall construction.
