If you haven\u2019t yet been to Israel, you might enjoy this 13:35 minute video that\u2019s shown to groups \u2014 and there are many of them each week \u2014 who visit\u00a0Brigham Young University\u2019s Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been there already, though, you might enjoy it even more<\/em>.<\/p>\n
