Summary
Historic and symbolic! And…Biblical!!!The other day, I was blessed to be at a historic event where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the renaming of Highway 60 as the Biblical Highway, and it could not be more fitting.This highway runs through the heartland of Judea and Samaria, connecting many of the most important places in the Bible: Hevron, Beit El, Shiloh, Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Beer Sheba, and so many other locations where the story of the Jewish people unfolded.What makes this even more special for me is that the idea came from my friend Yishai Fleisher.

And now, a modern four-lane Biblical Highway runs through the very landscape where our ancestors walked thousands of years ago.There is something powerful about being able to say:“I'm traveling on the Biblical Highway."Or, more realistically:“I'm stuck in traffic on my way my home on the Biblical Highway."But that traffic itself is a sign of Jewish life, growth, and return to our homeland.The story of the Jewish people is not one of exile and victimhood. It is a story of return, rebuilding, and redemption.So on your next trip to Israel, don't just visit. Come experience the Biblical Highway for yourself. Travel the roads of Abraham, Jacob, Samuel, King David, and the prophets while seeing firsthand the miracle of modern Israel flourishing in our ancestral homeland.And when you do, reach out to me. I'd be honored to help show you some of the incredible sites al…
