	Week 5	#967	"2002 Spring Holy Land Tour #7: the Holocaust Museum" On the afternoon of this day, we think about the road that the Jewish people have traveled thus far.

In the evening, the entire group accepts the invitation of Yossi, our bus driver, and pays a visit to his home. As we shared fellowship with this one Israeli family, it became a special time that the tour members will not soon forget. (Re-broadcast)
