On one of my two interfaith trips to Israel with Pastor David Mueller, formerly of Concordia Lutheran Church in Wilmington, he and I entered Yad VaShem's Memorial to the children who perished in the Holocaust. The first name we heard was the same name as David's grandmother who had been Jewish. For this and other reasons my friend is very sensitive to the feelings of our People. This is evident in our ability to work together, to tour together and to be personal friends as we have been since Concordia was the neighbor of Beth Emeth until the congregation moved to Silverside Road.
We will be visiting Israel's sites important to both Christians and Jews, and as an added bonus, as it were, we will be visiting Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and other important places in Jordan. All in all our days together will be special for adults of all denominations, and we hope you will be able to join us.
For information please contact me at
peterabbi@aol.com, and if you supply your snail-mail address I will send you a brochure. You can also receive a brochure from Lori at Congregation Beth Emeth.
There will also be an informational meeting on Sunday, September 24, at 4:00 at Congregation Beth Emeth. Both Pastor Mueller and I will be present
