WE USED ELI AS A GUIDE TO GO TO BETHLEHEM AND PARTS OF JERUSALEM. WE HAD A FANTATSTIC DAY , FAR MORE MEANINGFUL AND MEMORABLE THAN GOING ON A GROUP TOUR BY BUS.THIS THE EMAIL WE SENT HIM..........Dear Eli. or perhaps we should say, as you taught us - Shalom? We just wanted to say that we have just arrived back from Israel, and wanted to thank-you so much for the lovely day we spent with you in Bethlehem. It is a place we have always dreamed of visiting, but as we told you when we first contacted you, we didn't realise that not all guides can go there with tourists. You were so knowledgable, even telling us 'English' about the origins of the story of St George and the Dragon, which we did not realise came from Bethlehem!! We are hoping to come again to Israel, so that we can spend time in Galilee. So hopefully you as our new found friend will be able to guide and tell us all about the wonderful Christian heritage in the area. We will contact you nearer the time!! Hope you like the picture??
