Israel is a small country with a land area about the size of the US state of Massachusetts, containing a population of about nine million people who are mostly Jewish. The geographic features of Israel have been known since biblical times, including the 9000-foot highest elevation at Mt. Hermon to the lowest point on earth at the Dead Sea some 1400 feet below sea level. But people don’t just travel to Israel to see its land features. Many go because Israel is a sacred country to the more than three billion people on earth who consider themselves to be monotheists. People travel to Israel to experience the Holy Land; the place of Abraham, Moses, Samuel, King David, Elijah, Isaiah, and, most importantly, Jesus of Nazareth.
