About This Trip

My father took this trip a handful of times. He never came back the same way he left. That is not something he said dramatically — it was just true, and visible.

In 2026, that changed. I walked the routes and stood at the Western Wall, at the Sea of Galilee, and at Caesarea Philippi — places I had known only as words on a page.

Every day of the journey is documented here with site context and Dr. Bur's scholarship. The goal is not sentiment — it is record: historical, intellectual, and personal.
