Upon Jesus’ re-entry of the village of Capernaum, the people gathered, in large numbers, so as to listen to his preaching.

Jesus had been introduced to a paralyzed man, carried by other men, as he couldn’t walk. Tradition ahs it that due to the large crows, they could nt reach Jesus so they had come up with a plan by which they made a hole in the roof, right above Jesus, hence lowering the man who was lying on a mattress.

When Jesus felt these people’s true faith, he told the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.”
Some people in the crowd thought that Jesus was blaspheming! The only one able to forgive sins is God alone.
Jesus knew what their thoughts were, and told them that he firmly believed that men have the authority -on earth – to forgive sins.

By standing up to his belief and then by walking away, Jesus portrayed his strengths, his true belief and his mission on earth.
Capernaum has been connected to this traditional story, as well as to others, up until these very days.

The country has been swept in a unique weather system that has brought snow, hail and much rain, to a usually  warm country, in December 2013.  

Aside the beauty of the scenery; the children playing outside in the snow (and the closed schools…), many houses in the north as well as in Jerusalem and its vicinity have been cut off electricity and are awaiting its return.

The warm country is surely not used to such extreme weather conditions…..

It is located some 20 kilometers south of the city of Haifa- in the North West par of Israel.

The camp had been established in order to prevent Jewish refugees, mainly those escaping World War II Europe (during and after the war) from coming to Israel.

Along the years it had been active, tens of thousands of Jewish immigrants were interned at the camp, which was surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers.

Nowadays, the Atlit-Camp is a museum, telling the story of the Hewish people coming to Israel, mainly via Sea (but not only).

Atlit had also been declared a National Heritage Site in 1987.

At the camp, men were separated form women, living in two different camps. 
In 1945, the “Palmach” (a special forces’-unit of the Jewish defense settlement in the land) had broken into the camp and released 200 detainees, who then escaped. As a result of this break-in the British authorities decided to deport illegal immigrants to a detention camp in Cyprus.
All camps had been eventually opened as of 1947, along with the establishment of the State of Israel.
