  4. William, you mean this song? https://youtu.be/k-kvYYPYWFg
    I hear it for the first time now. And like it. Thanks.

    Melody, you remind me that little things like earth and water of the Holy Land are precious to those who are far away, while we in Israel just take them for granted.

    Dr. Anita, the "Jesus boat" that was found just south of Magdala is now in a museum of a kibbutz on the shore of Sea of Galilee.

  10. Business is business and tourists buy everything....
    I heard that in Naples (Italy) they sell small bottles with the air of Naples (aria di Napoli).
