I'm not a religious man, but I do know the Jesus existed. Has anyone here been to Isreal? I have, I walked most of the path that Jesus would have walked charring the cross. There's a part in the old city where it's said he stumbled and reached his hand out and touched the wall to regain his balance. In that very spot on the wall is a near perfect outline of a hand eroded in the wall. I knew nothing about it till I passed and seen a group of people surrounding the area lead by a guide. As I approached the wall to see what the fuss was about I felt a surge of "power" ( really the only way I can describe it) rush over my body, and I felt "awake" like I've never been before in my life. It was probably the single strangest thing to ever happen to me in my life. Then I listened to the guild explain the story to the group of people she was leading. I still don't go to church, is still don't pray or look to sky's for some being to help me throughout my life. But I know Jesus was real. And I don't think you'll find a single Israeli the will deny his existence. They will only deny that he was the son of god. But he was a real person.

So how came you made a trip to Israel and walked the Via Dolorosa?

As a believer I would really like to do a pilgrimage to Israel one day.


Work.  I spent 3 months there last year. We went around isreal on our weekly day off.

Cool. Lucky you. What kind of work and why they send you to Israel?

I build business jets, we collaborate with IAI. We build the wings here and ship them there to mate with the fuselage. It’s a fairly new project, so we couldn’t finish the wings on time. They sent me twice to finish the flight system install. It was in interesting experience. After the second trip I could almost understand Hebrew. Lol. If you thinking of going it pretty expensive, my hotel was 10,000 a month and the food isn’t cheap. I’d go again if I have the opportunity.
