{image_1} A new 40-mile (64-kilometer) hiking trail that passes through Christian landmarks and holy sites in northern Israel was inaugurated by Israeli tourism authorities in April and opened to the public in May. The new trail reaches out to more than 1 million of the country’s 3.75 million tourists that visited last year who identify themselves as “religious pilgrims,” according to Israeli sources.

{image_1} There are more volunteers per capita in Israel than anywhere else on the face of the earth, but the enterprising volunteer project started by 26-year-old Meir Partosh provides a truly unique service. Every Thursday (when most people do their Sabbath shopping), he and a small army of high school students ply the Machane Yehuda open market in Jerusalem, offering to help elderly shoppers carry their unwieldy market baskets to the bus stop or the car—and sometimes, even all the way home.

{image_1} Open your imagination, and you might just find some lifesaving, time-saving, and entertaining robotics invention that has already been invented in Israel. Many of the advances in this science fiction-inspired field are based on the kind of real-world computer programming and artificial intelligence at which Israeli researchers excel.

{image_1} Israel has a somewhat unexpected new set of supporters—British Muslims for Israel (BMFI). The independent grassroots initiative, founded in 2011, describes itself on its Web site as a “Muslim pro-Israel advocacy group based in the United Kingdom,” saying they are “representing moderate Muslims and advocating democracy and liberty in the Middle East.”

{image_1} When it comes to the great debate on who was responsible for the death of Jesus, the Lord took that decision on Himself. “No one has taken it [My life] away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father” (John 10:18, NASB).

{image_1}Israel and Germany have signed a letter of intent for a first-of-its-kind joint cooperation effort, with the goal of saving Lake Victoria in Kenya. Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest in the world and is being threatened by a severe ecological disaster. Half of the fish species in the huge lake—410 kilometers (255 miles) long and 250 kilometers (150 miles) wide—have already become extinct. About 30 million people make their living from the seaweed-filled lake that has low oxygen levels. Lake Victoria is one of the sources of the Nile, which is also suffering from the lake's ecological disaster.

{image_1}The Israeli government has opened a digital “suggestion box”—an Internet site (www.shituf.gov.il/) where anyone can register their opinion about bills placed before the Knesset (Parliament) and suggest amendments to government regulations, ordinances and laws. (Actually, some Israelis have gone straight to the top, sending 45,000 e-mails to the prime minister over the past year with suggestions as to how he should run the government.) Such input will be fed to the relevant authority, although no official response is promised to senders.

{image_1}A massive 14-meter-long (46 feet-), six-meter-high (20 feet-) stone wall at a Jaffa (near Tel Aviv) building site collapsed overnight, burying more than nine parked cars under the rubble. What made this freak accident enticingly newsworthy?

{image_1}Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers will soon receive outside help navigating on foot in the form of an electronic system the size of a matchbox. “We have learned that the navigation systems that exist today— the map and the GPS—do not supply all of our needs, so it was necessary to develop a new system,” Lieutenant-Colonel Zalman Adar told Ynet. The system was developed over the last two years by Elbit and the IDF. Army sources say it does not require satellites or aerial photographs to work. “The system…works by documenting steps or movement,” Adar explained.
