Large banners saying "Prepare yourself for the coming of the Messiah!" have been shown in the whole of Israel for several years.
In most of the countries all over the world in public transportation You are asked by signs to offer Your seat to aged travellers - in Israel too. But in Israel this sign is inscribed with a Bible verse from Leviticus 19:32: "מפני שיבה תקום " ("Rise in the presence of the aged!")
At places, where God performed miracles, You can pray with the old Jewish
.ברוך אתה אדוני אלהינו,
מלך העולם, שעשה נסים לאבותינו ולנו במקום הזה
Baruch ata
adonei..., elohejnu, melech haOlam, sheasa nesim la'awotenu welanu bamaqom
"Blessed be You, Lord, our God, King of the Universe, who
performed miracles for our forefathers and for us at this place!"
In Tel Aviv there is a memorial in Bet HaAzma'ut (Bet Dizengoff
- Independence Hall) in the 16 Sderot Rothschild, which also from a religious
point of view is the most important place in the history of modern Israel. There
the State of Israel was founded on 14th May 1948 and a Bible verse on the right hand of the entrance hall shows, that the Jews experienced the living God, when their state was
built up: And I will turn the captivity of my people Israel, and they shall build the waste cities and inhabit them" (Amos 9:14)
The museum is
open from Sunday to Friday 9 a.m. - 2 p.m..
Website: http://eng.ihi.org.il/
In front of this Bet HaAzma'ut where the State of Israel was founded you can see in the middle of the street a monument which shows the building up of Tel Aviv. At the base of the monument a Bible verse from Jeremiah 31:4 says: (God speaks:) " Again, I want to build you, and you shall be built, virgin of Israel." Monument with Jer 31:4.
The Eretz-Israel-Museum is situated in the north of Tel Aviv. At the fence of the
museum area in HaUniversita street, at the crossing Reading street, there is a
well inscribed with a quotation from Isaiah 21:14: "Bring water to them who
are thirsty!".
In the museum area, the section "Man and His
Work" (shown on the map no.18) located just behind the entrance to the right
certainly deserves special attention. There, tools typical of the world of
work in biblical times are exhibited and illustrated with quotations taken from
the Bible.
The museum is open from Sunday to Wedneesday, 10 am-
4 pm, on Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., on Friday and on Shabbat
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m..
In the south of Tel Aviv near Jaffa at the southern end of the Gan (garden) HaKovshim beside the mosque near the Mediterranean coast there is a monument from the war of independence and inscribed with words from 2 Samuel 1:23: David mourning for his friend Jonathan and King Saul: "they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.".
In Jaffa, there is Mifratz Shlomo street, which is a little higher than the shore and runs parallel to it, leading to the main place. Near the wall level with the museum of antiques, there is an intact well where you can quench your thirst. A quotation from Isaiah 44:3 is inscribed above it: "(The Lord speaks:) I will pour water upon him who is thirsty."
In the south of Tel Aviv, there is the Lehi museum which
presents the history of the Lehi group, the third and smallest group of Jewish
fighters (besides Haganah and Irgun) which was active under British rule. This
group fought above all against the British enactments prohibiting the
immigration of Jewish refugees coming from the sphere of influence of the Nazis.
The Lehi group was integrated into the Israeli army "Zahal", after the
foundation of the State of Israel. At the museum, you can see group commander
Abraham Stern´s Bible with the words he had underlined and his tiny
psalm prayer book, which he nearly always had on him. Furthermore,
you can read quotations from the Bible in several places: Psalm 144:1:
"Blessed be the Lord my strength, who teached my hands to war, my fingers to
fight." and Isaiah 30:22: "And in battles of wielding will he fight with them."
The first part of Isaiah 58:1 ("Cry aloud, spare not, lift up your voice like a
trumpet.") is inscribed above the model of a secret transmitter
station. The museum is in Stern street 8. (This very narrow street
runs west of and parallel to HaKishon street, between Florentine and
Emeq-Yisrael street.) The museum is open from Sunday to Thursday, 9 am- 4 pm.

During the Gulf War in January 1991, it was through a great miracle that many people were preserved from being killed by a direct hit of a Scud rocket. Out of their gratitude to God, the Israelis established a public monument representing 6 wings and inscribed with 2 words from Exodus 25:20: The Cherubim "sochechim bekanfeham "(in Hebrew letters:
סככים בכנפיהם ) (covering
with their wings (protecting))
You can find this
monument as follows: You drive Lehi Road (No. 461) towards Tel Aviv.
Before the Ayalon valley (behind the Etzel Street) turn right to HaTiqwa road.
After 200 m you can go left to the schoolyard of the Beit Moisewitsch (Beit
Dani) where you can see this monument of faith.
In Petah Tiqwa, one of the oldest Zionist settlements here is a
complex of several museums (called "Qiryat HaMuse´onim "Yad LeBanim"), which is
located in "Haim Arlozoroff" Street in the western part of Tel Aviv. This museum
complex consists of a memorial park, a historical museum which illustrates the
settlement´s foundation by the Zionists, the Holocaust museum, the museum which
commemorates the soldiers from Petah Tiqwa killed in action, and the art museum.
In the memorial park, further away from the street, there are
some armoured vehicles of the Israeli army, and a white commemorative stone
which bears the names of several soldiers killed in action, and a quotation in
Hebrew from 2 Samuel 1:19: "The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high
In the historical museum, which shows the
settlement´s foundation by the Zionists, you can see many exhibits and models of
the first houses and synagogues. Furthermore, an excellent film in English about
the history of Petah Tiqwa is shown there.
In a corner of the
small Holocaust museum, you can see a part of a Torah scroll which was destroyed
by the Nazis. Beside it, there are several black plaques inscribed with three
quotations in Hebrew from the Bible:
"Oh that my head were
waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for
the slain of the daughter of my people." (Jeremiah 8:23); "A voice was heard in
Ramah, lamentation, bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children
refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not." (Jeremiah
31:15); "Refrain thy voice from weeping and thine eyes from tears; ... and there
is hope for thy children."(Jeremiah 31,16-17)
In the museum
built in commemoration of the soldiers killed in action, the names of all
soldiers from Petah Tiqwa killed in action are listed chronologically according
to the wars in which they were killed. Beside the list of names, there are
quotations from the bible:
"How are the mighty fallen, and the
weapons of war perished." (2 Samuel 1:27); "The beauty of Israel is slain upon
thy high places." (2 Samuel 1:19); David mourning for his friend Jonathan
and King Saul: "they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than
lions." (2 Samuel 1:23). In the same commemorative room, you can see
a relief showing a mother (like Rahel) mourning the death of her son killed in
action. Beside it, there is a quotation in Hebrew from the Bible: Jeremiah
31:15: "she refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not."
In the corridor the following wall mosaics showing biblical themes are to be
found: construction workers near the walls of Jerusalem and an armed soldier,
which illustrates Nehemiah 4:11: "every one with one of his hands
wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon", then a tree
stump on which a new shoot is growing; beside this image you can see a dead
soldier and a strong soldier standing there with his sword in the sunlight. This
represents the people of Israel regaining strength, with their own army in the
land of Israel, according to Isaiah 6:13: "And the Lord have removed men far
away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land. ... when they
cast, the holy seed shall be the substance thereof." On the outside wall of
the building, there is also a mosaic showing a soldier carrying an arc and an
arrow. This is explained in Hebrew by 2 Samuel 1:18: (David) "bade
them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow."
oldest part of PetahTiqwa is near Kikar HaMejasedim (Founders'
place) in the city centre, south of the central bus station. In a corner of the
place, you can see a modern water dispenser, which is located where the city
founders drilled the first well. In Howewei Zion Street, which leads to
Kikar HaMejasedim, there is a synagogue which dates back to the time of the city
foundation (in 1890).
The museum is open from Monday to Thursday, 4.30-7.30 pm, on Shabbat from 10 am to 1 pm, Fridays and Sundays closed.
The religious kibbuz Be´erot Yitzchak is located on road 40 south of Petah Tiqwa. This kibbuz was near Gaza until the War of Independence; later the inhabitants of Be´erot Yitzchak were allowed to settle down near Petah Tiqwa where they are a little safer; for they had to endure especially great sufferings because of both the Holocaust and the Egyptian attack during the War of Independence. The inhabitants of the kibbuz live according to the principle: "pray (read the bible) and work (defend yourself)". Documentation for visitors is under preparation. Two moving films about the kibbuz inhabitants´ history, faith and life are available at present only in Hebrew, but will soon be translated into German and English. Visitors are recommended to contact Mr. David Porat (phone in Israel: (0 52) 57 42 68 or (03) 937 18 83) who is fluent in English and will be pleased to give you more details.
Driving southwards on road 444 from Rosh HaAyin, you get to the crossing "Zomet Modi´im". After the town Beit Nehemya, immediately before arriving at this crossing, you can see the Memorial to the Maintenance Brigade on your left-hand side. On the memorial, you can read a quotation from Nehemiah 4:11: "every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other hand held a weapon."
Near the new city of Modi'im is the Biblical plant garden and
experience park Ne'ot Kedumim
(נאות קדומים ). There are 4 tours, which take approximately 1-2
hours. Very good brochures are available at the entrance, containing
explanations of the plants mentioned in the Bible, plants You find next
to the foot paths. In brochures and on boards beside the plants, you can read
quotations from the bible relating to these plants. Additionally, you'll
find excavations and things from the daily life life in biblical times
(e.g. sheep watering places , watchtower in the vineyard, etc.. It is possible
to go down into a cistern and feel like Joseph and Jeremiah when they were
Ne'ot Kedumim is situated between Tel Aviv and
Jerusalem near the road 443, which runs parallel to and north of the highway 1.
Turn some kilometers east of Ben Shemen from the road 443 to the north and after
200 m you'll be in Ne'ot Kedumim. You'll find signs on the road 443.
Ne'ot Kedumim is open from Sunday to Thursday 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. (Visitors may stay in the reserve until sunset.); Friday: 8:30 - 1 p.m.. The garden is closed on
Shabbat and Jewish holidays.
Driving on road 443 from Ne´ot Kedumim several kilometers further towards Jerusalem, you will notice large signs "Maccabean Graves - Hashmonean Village".There you turn off from the main road, then turn left to the Maccabean Graves (and not the Hashmonean Village). There, you turn left again to a parking space, or you continue several hundreds of meters until you see a footpath lined with trees on your left-hand side. Both ways lead to a memorial reminiscent of the fierce combats which took place during the War of Independence, there in the former border area between Israel and Jordan. In a short tunnel in the memorial, you can read a quotation from 2 Samuel 1:23: David mourning for his friend Jonathan and King Saul: they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions."
The Israeli tank museum "Yad LaShirion" in Latrun in the Ayalon valley
is connected with the Bible verse Joshua 10:12-13 which is about God's
assistance for the defence forces of Israel and which you find in the museum at
different places: "Sun, stand you still upon Gibeon and you, Moon, in the
valley of Ayalon. Then the sun stood still and the moon stayed until the people
had punished their enemies."
The museum is open Sunday to Thursday from 8.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m; on Friday from 8.30 a.m. to 1.30 p.m., on Shabbat and Jewish holidays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m..

If you turn off the motorway Tel Aviv - Jerusalem at Latrun junction
to road No. 3 to the south, and turn right the next road behind Nahshon junction
in the direction of Hulda, you will find after 200 meters a monument with a
column located on a small hill. This monument was built to commemorate the
defense of Jerusalems by the Israeli army during the War of Independence.
On the column is written: "If I forget, You, Jerusalem, then my
right hand shall be absent." (Psalm 137:5). Over the boards commemorative of
the fallen soldiers, a verse of Isaiah 2:4 c is written: "nation shall not
lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more."
Near the road Tel Aviv - Jerusalem, if you turn to the south to the
road 38, you'll find a monument for the Machal(מחל)-volunteers after 500 m on the left side of the road 38
(fighters), i.e. a monument built in memory of the foreign - partially
non-Jewish - soldiers, who fought voluntarily for Israel during the War of
Independence. There is the Bible message Joshua 1:14: "All those of valour
shall pass armed among Your brethren, and shall help them. "
Driving on the secondary road 395 between Eschta´aol and Jerusalem (parallel to main road 1), you turn off near Ramat Raziel in the direction of Megillat Esh (Fire Scroll). Moving several kilometers further, you get to two scroll-shaped bronze monuments several meters high erected in commemoration of the millions of Jews who perished in the fire of the Holocaust. The scrolls show many pictures representing scenes of Jewish history from biblical to modern times including the revival of Jewish civilization brough about by Zionism. Between the two scrolls you can read a quotation from Ezekiel 37:12+14 in Hebrew and English: "Thus saith the Lord God: Behold, o my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves and bring you into the land of Israel. ... And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land."
Near Main Road no. 1 between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, there is the memorial for those who during the War of Independence in 1948 succeeded in breaking through the enemy lines around Jerusalem, which was then under siege. You will see the memorial standing on the slope of a mountain. The memorial consists of a number of poles sticking out of the slope like the foundations of a bridge under construction on the road to Jerusalem. When driving eastwards (in the direction of Jerusalem), you can reach the memorial from Main Road no. 1 by turning northwards immediately after the junction Bet Meir but before the junction Newe Ilan / Abu Gosh. There is a parking lot very close to the main road. From there, you can walk upwards to the memorial. On the left of the memorial, partially covered by a bush, there is a plaque inscribed with a quotation in Hebrew from Isaiah 62:1: "For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest."
To get to the memorial and to the lookout tower on the "Radar Hill", you should turn off Main Road no. 1 at the eastern junction to Abu Gosh (and Qiryat Anavim). Then, before Abu Gosh, immediately turn northwards in the direction of Qiryat Anavim. Pass through Qiryat Anavim towards Ma'ale Hahamischa. Just before Ma'ale Hahamischa turn right into the mountain road leading to Har Adar ("Radar Hill"). In Har Adar, follow the signposts indicating "Harel Brigade Monument". You will also clearly see the lookout tower on "Radar Hill" on the right of the road. Until 1967, the "Radar Hill" was a Jordanian position from which they controlled the nearby main road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The position was fiercely disputed in 1948 and in 1967. In the tower, there is a commemorative plaque inscribed with a quotation from 2 Samuel 1:19 in Hebrew: "Upon thy high places slain" (O, Israel).
On the west side of Jerusalem's old city wall, rather in its north-west corner, there is a white stone on the ground. On it, you can read a quotation from Psalm 122:3-4 in Hebrew and English: "Our feet are standing in your gates, O Jerusalem. Jerusalem, you are built as a city which is compact together."
A bit south of the north-western corner of the city wall (which means north of the Jaffa gate) You find a memorial stone for a policeman, who was killed here. The stone is inscribed with Isaiah 6:6; "I have set watchmen upon Your walls Jerusalem."
A quotation from Nehemiah 4:1 is inscribed on the city wall, immediately to the left of the Jaffa gate: "that the walls of Jerusalem were made up."
In the Jaffa gate, on the northern side, there is a small display-case in which you can read a quotation from Psalm 122.6: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem!" in several languages.
West of the old city, 500 m south-west of the Jaffa gate, there is the picturesque quarter Yemin Moshe. The wonderful view of the old city , the beautiful paths running along flowerbeds make this place a romantic inside tip for visiting Jerusalem, especially by night. At the southern end of HaTiqwa path (south of HaMetsuda path), on a platform embellished with luxuriant vegetation (stairs above HaTiqwa path) to the south, you can find a stone inscribed with a quotation from 1 Samuel 2:26: "More and more the child Samuel grew on, and was in favour both with the Lord, and also with men."
The "Teddy Park" between the Jaffa gate and Yemin Moshe was inaugurated in 2013. There You can find a stone with a Hebrew Bible verse from the book Ecclesiastes (Kohelet) 1:4-6: "Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course."
Just south of the Jewish Quater of the Old City You find the original area of Jerusalem, the City of David ("Ir David"). Just behind the entrance of the excavations You find in the court left-hand verses of Psalm 122, written on a stone in English, f.e.: "Our feet stood within your gates O Jerusalem. ... Pray for the peace of Jerusalem." Beside the Gihon spring You find the historical Bible verse from II Chronicles 32:30: "This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the City of David."
Opening hours: Summer: Son-Thur: 8 am - 7 pm; Fr: 8 am - 4 pm; Winter: Son-Thur: 8 am - 5 pm; Fr: 8 am - 2 pm. Website: http://www.cityofdavid.org.il/en/information
In the west of the City od David and south of the old city on Mount Zion, there is the "Chamber of the
Holocaust" memorial which was built before Yad WaShem. A quotation from
Obadiah 17 in Hebrew and English:"And on Mt. Zion there will be a
sanctuary for survivors and it will be holy." is inscribed above the
entrance. Beside the entrance, you can also read a quotation from Genesis
4:10 in Hebrew: God said to Cain after Cain had killed his brother Abel:
"Thy brother's blood crieth". In the yard, you can read a quotation from
Jeremiah 31:14: "A voice was heard from on high, lamentation and
bitter weeping; Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted for
her children, because they are not." - on the memorial to the children
murdered in the Holocaust. In the rooms at the rear, which are marked with a
"T", there are black commemorative plaques bearing the names of people who were
murdered. Above these plaques, the following quotations from the Bible are
written in the shape of arches: Job 16:18: "O earth, cover not thou my
blood"; Psalm 42:5: "When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me.";
Joel 4:21: (God says:) "For I will cleanse their blood, that I have not
cleansed: for the Lord dwelleth in Zion." In order to get to this memorial,
take the footpath straight through the Zion gate, keeping a little to your
left-hand side. Opening hours: Sunday to Thursday from 8 am to 5 pm, and on
Friday from 8 am to 1 pm.

South-west of the old city opposite Zion mountain, a bridge for pedestrians crosses Derech Hevron street which leads to the South (Bethlehem, Hebron). Beside it is St.Andrews church. At the western end of the bridge, there is a peace memorial. Below it, you can see parts of scrap weapons, which are welded together to form kinds of farming tools. On them, a white column rises up, which is inscribed with a quotation from the 2nd part of Isaiah 2:4. in Arabic and Hebrew: "And they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more." This evokes the hope that one day even Israel will no longer need an army to ensure its survival.
Further to the south of Jerusalem, in the quarter Talpiyot, on Hebron Street no. 95 (approximately), there is a large white building of the telephone company Beseq. On the facade of this building, there is a mosaic showing water, land and a rainbow. Below it, a quotation from Genesis 9:13 is written in Hebrew: (God says:) "I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth."
To the far south of Jerusalem, there is the kibbutz Ramat Rahel, with the large kibbutz hotel Mizpe Rahel. On the left of the hotel entrance, in a park, you will find a sculpture a bit hidden by the bushes close to the park's first green. The sculpture represents Rahel with a sad face hugging two children. The sculpture is related to the nearby grave of Rahel, who died when giving birth to her second son Benjamin, and evokes Jeremiah 31:15: "Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not." Under the sculpture, you will notice a quotation from Jeremiah 31:17 (in the same chapter as the above-mentioned quotation): "Thy children shall come again to their own border." This quotation is God's promise to save her children, in response to the suffering she expressed before. The wall of the hotel lobby is inscribed with Genesis 13:8 in many languages (including German): "So Abram said to Lot: Please let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are kinsmen."
We strongly recommend the Bible-Lands Museum in Jerusalem. The
museum is structured according to the different periods of biblical
history. The exhibits in every department are illustrated with numerous
quotations from the Bible. This museum is much more interesting than the
Israel museum directly beside it. Standing in front of the entrance of the
Israel museum, you will see the Bible Lands museum 100 m to the right.
It is open from Sunday to Tuesday and on Thursday from 09:30 am to
05:30 pm, on Wednesday till 09:30 pm, on Friday from 09:30 am to 02:00 pm and on

In Yad WaShem, over the entrance to the labyrinth built in
commemoration of the 1 500 000 Jewish children murdered, you can read a
quotation from Proverbs 20:27: "The spirit of man is the candle of the
Lord." In the labyrinth, a candle light is reflected by thousands of
Right at the entrance to the new Shoah main museum, you can read a verse from Joel 1:2-3: "Has the like of this happened in your days or the days of Your fathers? Tell Your children about it, and let Your children tell theirs, and their children the next generation." written on a concrete plate in Hebrew and English.
Yad WaShem is open from Sunday to Wednesday from 9 am to 5 pm, on Thursday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and on

Directly beside Yad WaShem, on the road "Sderot Herzl" is Mount Herzl
with its north entrance towards the military cemetary and its south
entrance towards the Herzl Museum, the Herzl grave and the graves of important
figures of the State of Israel and the memorial to the victims of terrorism.
All Bible verses on this cemetary are written in Hebrew.
We'll on a round trip starting through the (northern) main gate, going up, turning to the right (southwards) and then turning back eastwards, finally arriving at the second (northern) gate.
Going up half the way You'll get to the graveyard lf the fallen of the Lebanon war and You'll find there in a corner the Bible verse from Jeremiah 31:15: "Rahel weeping for her
children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not."
A little higher up, there is a
memorial made of white stones where a quotation in Hebrew from Jeremiah
31:20 is inscribed: (God speaks:) "For since I admonished him, I do
earnestly remember him again and again."
Going down on the northern side you will see a concrete model of the
submarine "Dakar" which disappeared in the Mediterranean Sea in 1968. On the
entrance gate, you can read quotations in Hebrew from Jeremiah 31:8:
"(God speaks to the people of Israel) I shall gather them from the uttermost
parts of the earth." and Isaiah 66:14:"Your bones shall flourish
like the grass."
On the opposite side, you'll find the memorial for the fallen naval soldiers and can read a quotation in Hebrew
from Psalm 77:19:"Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though Your footprints were not seen." and Psalm 68:22: "The Lord says: "I will bring them from Bashan; I will bring them from the depths of the sea".
Further down You'll find the memorial for the fallen Jewish soldiers in the Polish army during the second world war with the Bible verse from 2 Samuel 1:23: "they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions.
Nearby You'll find for the second time in this cemetary the Bible verse: (God speaks:) "For since I admonished him, I do
earnestly remember him again and again."
Finally You'll get near the northern gate to the memorial for the Ethiopian Jews, who were killed or died on their way to Erez Israel. There You'll find the Bible verse Isaiah 11:11: "In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the remnant that is left from his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush (=Ethiopia), from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the sea."

Driving on road 40 between Gedera and Rechovot, you can see to the west the memorial to the paratroopers whose central part bears an inscription from 2 Samuel 1:23 in Hebrew: David mourning for his friend Jonathan and King Saul: "they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than lions." On the right column of the memorial there is an inscription in Hebrew referring to someone who is obeying God's call for the defence of Israel: "A voice called me and I went into combat."
Gedera existed even in biblical times (Joshua 15:36, 1 Chronicles
4:23). It was founded again by religious "Bilu" Zionists (named after the
initial letters of Isaiah 2,5: Beit-Ia'akov Lechu
Unelcha ("O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk (in the light of
the Lord)!") who placed special emphasis on the observance of the
Sabbat and the Sabbatical year. The meaning of the name Gedera is explained in
Hosea 2:8 (6): God wants to protect Israel from the temptation to serve
the Pagan gods by building Gedera (a wall for her) for Israel.
Today's Biluim Street is the street where the first houses were
built. Almost in the centre of the town it branches off from road 40 eastwards.
First you see the town's oldest house built in 1886. Higher up there is the
museum (house no. 21). The exhibits and explanations shown there are very
interesting but the museum is very small. It will probably be enlarged. In the
museum you can read quotations from the bible in Hebrew and English: 1
Chronicles 4:23: "These were the potters, who dwelt at Netaim and Gedera;
they dwelt there in the king's service." Three quotations from the bible
serve to summarize the modern history of Gedera and the whole of Israel:
Isaiah 60:22: "The smallest shall become a thousand."; Isaiah
11:12: (God will gather Israel) "from the four corners" (of the earth);
Isaiah 60:22: "And the least a mighty nation."
The museum

Gush Etzion (גוש עציון ) is a
group of religious settlements founded even before the War of
Independence. These were then taken and destroyed by the Jordanian army and were
integrated into the Jordanian territory. After the War of 1967, the destroyed
settlements were reconstructed. The museum of the history of Gush Etzion
is located in the so-called German Monastery of the settlement Kfar Etzion
(כפר עציון ; the reconstructed
building was the settlers' last defensive position; the arsenal was in the
cellar of the building; there you can see a moving multi-media show (also in
German or English) illustrating the sufferings of the settlers who even under
fierce attacks did not forget to read the bible and finally accepted their
defeat out of God's hands. This presentation contains many references to
the bible just as the small history book and the collection of photos you can
buy there. One of the photos shows a poster which was designed when the
settlement was founded again in 1967: The poster shows settlers farming the land
again and above this scene you can read quotations from Jeremiah 31:17:
"And your children will come again to their own country." and Haggai
2:9: "The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former,
saith the Lord of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the Lord of
hosts." The museum of the history of Kfar Etzion is open from Sunday to
Thursday from 8.30 am to 1 pm and on Friday from 8.30 am to 11 am (contact in advance is recommended: phone: 02-993 51 60).

The museum מעוז מול עזה "Ma'oz
mul Aza" ("fortress facing Gaza") is located immediately before the Gaza
strip. An observation tower which dates from the War of Independence is at the
centre of the museum. This tower is the only remnant of the first religious
kibbuz "Sa'ad" (סעד), which
was reconstructed 1 km away from this place. The whole museum is designed to
illustrate the settlers' attitude "faith and work (together with
fighting)". Exhibits on the ground floor serve to show this attitude: During
the foundation ceremony, a Torah scroll is solemnly carried into the kibbuz.
Other photos show people praying and participating in religious celebrations or
involved in hard building work. In a reconstructed command post, you can find a
rifle lying beside a small Torah scroll. On the first floor a film (also
in English) is shown, in which they thank God for His assistance in
the successful defence of the kibbuz. For instance they recognize that it
was due to God's help that the first shot fired at random by the only gun in the
kibbuz hit the command post of the Egyptians and caused them to retreat
overestimating the Israeli fire power and intelligence. On the top of the
observation tower from which you can see Gaza and the Gaza strip there is an
observation table. This table was designed to record the movements of the troops
of the enemy without having to violate the Shabbat commandment which forbids
writing: the times of the day were shown on the horizontal axle of the table,
the different kinds of troops displayed on the vertical axle. The observations
made were recorded by hanging rings on hooks, the number of rings on a specific
hook indicated, for example, the number of the tanks observed.
To reach the museum
take the road 232 which branches off from the main road 25 (Netivot - Gaza).
Near the kibbuz Sa'ad, directly beside a petrol station, turn off towards Kfar
Aza. Several hundreds of meters further, turn left to take a narrow road. At
this point, you can see the small observation tower on top of a hill. There are
no fixed opening hours. Before your visit, call Tel. (052) 3726644, 08-6800403.

Mizpe Revivim is an especially interesting museum. In 1943, it was
established as an agricultural testing centre. Now, the whole area of the former
agricultural testing centre is a museum comprising the centre's outdoor areas
and buildings. This museum offers a lot of information about the successful
undertaking to cultivate the Negev desert, which is also a fulfilment of
biblical prophecies. Furthermore, the extensive fortifications still exist which
proved to be very effective during the Egyptian offensive in the War of
Independence in 1948. Among other things, there is a former military hospital,
which was installed in an old Byzantine cavern. Next to it, you can visit
completely furnished residential buildings, which date back to the beginnings of
the kibbutz. In the so-called "exhibition room" in the former testing centre's
main section, you can also read a quotation from Isaiah 61:4 in Hebrew:
"And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former
desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many
generations." Furthermore, there are original transport planes which, during
the War of Independence, supplied the kibbutzim which were surrounded by the
enemy. Visiting this museum takes several hours. In the Visitor's Building near

The Border Troops' Memorialul) is located in the western Carmel
mountains. It is not easy to find. Driving on road 65 (Afula - Hadera), you turn
south at the "Zomet Iron" junction. Only 20 m after Zomet Iron you have to turn
left (eastwards). Now you drive northwards through a tunnel under road 65. You
reach the memorial immediately after the tunnel. The long wall of the memorial
is inscribed with a quotation in Hebrew from Jeremiah 15:20: (God
speaks:) "And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they
shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee."
Recently the border troop museum has been opened near the memorial.
This very interesting museum shows the history and achievements of the border
troops, which are made up of all nationalities living in Israel (including a
high percentage of Druzes). It gives you an idea of the new challenges due to
terrorism originating from the areas controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Furthermore several films are shown there, available in Hebrew and English such
as the entire documentation presented. The museum was founded in commemoration
of all border troop soldiers killed in action including the Christian Zionist
Yonathan Vermeulen, who was killed on 29th December 2000.
Sergeant Yonathan Vermeulen grew up in the Christian moshav Nes Ammim
in Western Galilee. In 1975, at the age of four, he came to Israel from the
Netherlands together with his parents, who are Christian Zionists. An official
Jewish National Fund (KKL) poster advertising tree planting in Israel shows
little Yonathan planting a small tree. In 1990, as Nes Ammim accepts volonteers
only for a period of several years, the Vermeulen family returned to the
Netherlands. Yonathan, however, felt that he did not belong there; in fact he
was longing very much to return to Israel.
After several
obstacles had been overcome, the Israeli army Zahal fulfilled his dearest wish,
that is to serve as a regular Zahal soldier in a special border troop pioneer
unit which is exposed to particularly high risks. His job included the defusing
of Arab bombs. On 29th December 2000, Yonathan Vermeulen, together with another
soldier, had to defuse a roadside bomb in the Gaza Strip. This time, however,
Palestinian "Intifada" terrorists were lying in ambush, and as the bomb defusing
team was trying to render the bomb safe, they triggered off one bomb and then
another one. Thus 29-year-old Yonathan was killed immediately. He was buried in
the kibbutz Hanita, which just on the Lebanese border has made numerous
sacrifices for Zionism and the State of Israel for many years.
The funeral was held in a really ecumenical way: a Dutch catholic
priest held the service together with a military rabbi. The rabbi sang Jewish
prayers. Yonathan received all military honours from his comrades. The kibbutz
inhabitants said that they had felt honoured by the ceremony taking place near
their homes. Megiel, Yonathan´s mother, said: "this is the Holy Land. We have
always felt we have a special relationship with it; indeed after what has
happened, we have a kind of blood relationship which will never be destroyed. We
are proud of Yonathan." In the museum, feel free to ask for Yonathan´s personal
file. It is accessible to every visitor, and contains numerous moving pictures
and documents regarding his life.
The museum is open from Monday
to Thursday, from 9 am to 4 pm Entrance is free of charge. Fax. no. 06 6355749.

sea in ships, that do business in great waters; - they mount up to the heaven,
they go down again to the depths, their soul is melted because of trouble: -

still. Then they are glad because they be quiet; so he brings them unto their
desired haven." A showcase contains information about the way Jews preserved

In the kibbutz En Gev on the east shore of Lake Kinneret (Sea of
Galilee), there is a memorial for the IDF (Israeli Defence Forces). This
memorial is also intended to commemorate the enormous sacrifices the kibbutz En
Gev had to make until 1967, as at that time it was squeezed between Lake
Kinneret and the Syrian guns, which were only a few hundred metres away. Beside
the memorial, there is a sculpture showing a woman holding a child upwards, and
a Davidka, a mortar which was then built by Israel. The wall of the memorial is
inscribed with a quotation in Hebrew from Nehemiah 4,12: "For the builders,
every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded."
Facing the entrance of the well-known fish restaurant on the shore of
the lake, you can see on your left-hand side the path which leads to the
memorial. Walk straight ahead along this path until you reach a cinema building
with a curved wall. Follow this wall, then go straight ahead, finally turn
right. At the end of the path, you will see Lake Kinneret and the army memorial.
Biblical Bethsaida (בית-צידה) (e.g. Luke 9.10) has now been excavated and became part of a national park; you can
visit the illustrated excavations. What is special about this place as compared
to other archaeological sites is the fact that it is illustrated with
numerous quotations from the Bible.
The excavations of
Bethsaida are in the HaYarden park. When driving from the west to the
east, you cross the Jordan river just north of Lake Kinneret, then you soon turn
left (northwards) into the road 888, which runs parallel to the Jordan river.
After several hundreds of meters, a sign indicates the park HaYarden.
Immediately behind the check point, you turn left; then, after approx. 500 m,
you will reach the excavation site of Bethsaida.
Opening hours: Daily 8 am to 4 pm.

and http://bibleplaces.com/bethsaida.htm.
The memorial of the Golan military tank museum near Qazrin-Junction on the road 87 (In the Yom Kippur war, the Syrian troops advanced as far as this place) is inscribed with a quotation from Isaiah 66:15: "He (the Lord) will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind."
The pedestrian precinct of the town Zefat is called "Yerushalayim". It offers a panoramic view, and is also the location of a memorial commemorating the combats which took place in Zefat during the War of Independence. There, you will notice a Davidka, a simple mortar the Israelis built by themselves at that time. The balustrade beside it is inscribed with a quotation from Jeremiah 1:18: (God says:) "For, behold, I have made thee a defenced city, and an iron pillar, and brasen walls ."
The name of the town Rosh Pina, which was founded in 1880 as one of the first Zionist settlements, means "cornerstone". This word is quoted from the bible (Psalm 118,22). This quotation is written on the lower edge of the municipal coat of arms showing a farmer ploughing a field. You can see the coat of arms everywhere in the town. In Ha´irus street, directly opposite the town´s historic core established in 1880, which is called "Moshawa Rishonim", you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Hule valley. There, you can also see a memorial stone with a quotation from the bible (Jeremiah 17,8).
In the Upper Jordan Valley north of the Lake Kinnereth lies the
Dubrovinfarm. The Dubrovins, a Christian family from Russia, immigrated in
the last century, in order to support Israel and the zionism. They built their
farm in the Hule Valley (big swamp) where most of the first settlers did not
survive. In this museum farm you can see a slide show (at least in Hebrew,
English and German), from which you can learn a lot about the biblical faith
of the first settlers as a basis for their hard work and perseverance and
about how zionism's efforts to cultivate and replant the Hule Valley were
blessed by God with success.
The Dubrovin farm is opened daily from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m..
You can reach the Dubrovin farm via the main road 90
between Lake Kinnereth and Metulla. Coming from the south, one passes the
junctions to Yesud HaMa'ala (right hand) and to Sede Eli'ezer (left hand)
driving further to the north. At the next junction, one finds among other signs
the sign of the Dubrovin farm and one turns right, off the road 90.

In the northern part of the Hule valley, take the main road no. 90. At the Zomet Koah junction, turn into a winding road which leads uphill to Upper Galilee. At the highest point of the road, you will notice a junction where you could turn left to Zefat. Just before this junction, turn right into the road to the old fortified police station Mezudat Yesha, also called Mezudat Koah or in Arabic Nebi Yusha. Fierce combats took place there, during the War of Independence. One wall of the memorial up there is inscribed with a quotation in Hebrew from 2 Samuel 1:19: "The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places. How are the mighty falllen." This place also offers a breathtaking view of the Jordan and Hule valleys.
Two helicopters collided and crashed, blazing fiercely, near the Kibbuz
Shear Yashuv on 4th February 1997.
The text
from the prophets prescribed for the week when the accident happened was
Isaiah 7, 1-6. Shear Yashuv (a son of Isaiah after which the a/m kibbuz
was named) is mentioned in the bible only three times. Isaiah 7, 1-6 also speaks
of Aramean (= Syrian) enemies ("the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria", verse 4);
in fact, the helicopters were to fight the Syrian-backed Hisbollah. Finally, the
text also mentions two smoking firebrands such as were the two helicopters when
they crashed. These correspondences between the accident and the a/m quotation
show that it was God's intention to comfort Israel with His a/m word in this
critical situation and to make clear that He will protect Israel whatever
happens. He also says in the a/m text with regard to the Aramean (= Syrian)
threat: "Be quiet! Fear not, don't be fainthearted for the two tails of these
smoking firebrands." (verse 4)
In fact, all the 73 soldiers in
the helicopter died in the accident, but by a miracle none of the kibbuz
inhabitants was even injured. Despite the terrible deaths of the soldiers the
kibbuz inhabitants showed their faith in God's help and protection by thanking
Him for having preserved all of them and by erecting in the place of the
accident a sign inscribed with the following quotation from Psalm 91:11:
"For he will give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your
To find this place, enter the kibbuz Shear Yashuv; then turn
left approx. 100 m behind the gate, following the first street; about 50 m
further away, you can see the memorial on your left-hand side. To get to the
place where the other helicopter crashed, drive along the left side of the
cemetary of the nearby kibbuz Dafna.
The route to the crash site of the other helicopter is perfectly signposted with "Helicopter Memorial". Turn off the main road 99 between the kibbuzim HaGoshrim and Dafna, then drive by the cemetery of kibbuz Dafna in order to arrive at an artistically fashioned area with a creek and memorial stones for the soldiers killed there. The main memorial stone is inscribed with a quotation from the bible (Job 41,9).
These Bible verses were all inscribed in public by Jews.
From Christians the wonderful multilingual inscriptions (called "Rufer"-boards) of the Sisters of Mary from Darmstadt/Germany are found in many places.

New Rules 3

Posted Sat 2nd of July 2011
I continue to explore my new-found freedom
This is the sequel to 'New Rules 1 & 2'. It will make more sense if you read them first.
Once we were all in Peter's room I quickly stripped off my few clothes then, naked, I stepped to my boss and started undressing him. I was really excited about what we were about to do and hoped that my excitement was infectious. Certainly my boss made no objection to my undressing him, raising his arms above his head to help me get his shirt off, and stepping out of his pants and undies once I had them around his ankles. Once my boss was naked I turned to Peter, only to find that he was already naked. Apparently none of us had any inhibitions!
"OK, boss. Peter's already fucked both my arse and my cunt, so I'll give you the choice. Which of my holes do you want, first?"
"First? If there's going to be a second time, I'd like your cunt for the first time. Are you really going to take both of us at the same time?"
"Fuck yes. I've only ever dreamed about it before, but suddenly I'm free to live all my fantasies. Here Peter, put some of this lube in my arsehole. I'll spread some on your beautiful cock."
Within seconds my boss was lying on his back on the bed, with me on top of him and his cock deep inside my cunt. There had been no need for foreplay, my pussy was so wet from my excitement and two very stiff cocks suggested the two men were equally excited. I reached behind me and spread my arse cheeks for Peter. As he pushed into my arse for the third time today an enormous thrill ran through me; I was experiencing my first DP ever!
"Oh my god1 That feels so weird. I can feel Peter's cock sliding over mine through the thin membrane between us."
"I feel so full. I've never felt like this before."
"Uh! Uh1"
Peter was the first to cum. Almost immediately my boss and I followed him. It was all over in minutes, but Oh! It felt good! We all just lay there, one on top of the other, reveling in the after glow. Eventually both cocks slipped out of me.
"Peter, I want you to wash your cock before it goes into any other of my holes. OK?"
"Why don't we all have a shower together?" my boss suggested.
In the shower the two men spent a lot of time 'washing' my boobs, my pussy mound and my bum. They paid scant attention to the rest of my body. I, of course, took great care 'washing' their pricks but didn't worry too much about the rest of their beautiful bodies, except that I enjoyed the feel of wet skin against wet skin as we pressed together. By the time we finished in the shower there were two hard cocks, bouncing as they moved, and my cunt was wet again.
Quickly we moved together to the bed. This time Peter lay face up on the bed, I straddled him and lowered myself onto his stiff cock, and then I felt my boss' fingers pressing into my arsehole. Soon afterwards I felt his cock head pressing against my sphincter. Probably because Peter had already fucked my arse three times he slipped into me easily.
Again, the feeling was indescribably wonderful. By trying to think about filling out tax forms or washing my car or anything but what was happening to me, I managed to hang on for a few minutes before another massive orgasm swept through my body. As I came down from cumming I realised that both men were pumping their loads into me again. I remained on a high level of arousal for ages until I felt both cocks slip out of me again.
"Wow! Thank you guys. That was incredible. I hope that we'll get the chance to do that again, before my husband comes back from America."
"Hey! I hope so too. You are really something. I think that I'll have to come back to Sydney often to check on our project. Is that OK with you both?"
"Sure.", "Yes, of course."
Then my boss announced that he had to get home to his wife. He showered alone, dressed and left.
"So Peter, is it OK with you if I stay the night here? I'd rather sleep beside you than at home in an empty bed."
"Please do."
We spooned together and fell asleep. We slept right through until Peter's wake-up call at 6am. We did not have time for another fuck because Peter had to get to the airport for an early flight home and I needed to get home for a change of clothes before going back to work.
We showered together, which very nearly ended in another fuck, then breakfasted in the hotel restaurant. Before he left he told me that he planned to come back 'to check on the progress of our project' and that he hoped that he could 'spend some time with me'.
"OK. But only if you promise to fuck me while you are here." was my reply.
He went off in a taxi to the airport and I drove home, singing to myself.
Just before lunchtime on Wednesday I got a phone call from my boss, asking me to step into his office. Before I left I slipped my panties off and hid them in the top drawer of my desk. When I got to his office he asked me to lock the door behind me. When I walked round to his side of the desk I discovered that his pants and underpants were around his ankles and his cock was standing proudly to attention. When I saw it my cunt was instantly wet, not just moist, wet.
It was pretty obvious that neither of us needed any foreplay so I simply lifted my short skirt, exposing my bare cunt, then straddled his thighs, facing him and lowered myself onto his cock. He positioned his cock against my hole and I slipped down his pole until he was buried deep inside me.
"Oh! I feel so full! Now fuck me."
And he did. After a few minutes of pushing his cock in and out of me, I felt him pumping his load into my cunt. When he had come down from his orgasm he realised that I had not cum. He lifted me off his cock and sat me on the very edge of his desk, then leant forward and started to eat my pussy.
He was licking his cum and mine from my cunt then moving up to my clit and squeezing it with his lips. When he licked my clit with his tongue, while still squeezing with his lips this magnificent feeling swept through me; I was cumming!
"Oh! Thank you, Kevin. That was just what I needed."
"You're welcome, Sally. I hope that you'll come back often."
"Well I just might do that. I told my husband about our DP the other night. He was extremely jealous."
"Jealous? I thought that he had told you to take a lover?"
"No! No! Not jealous that I was fucking someone else. He has never been part of a DP and now he wants to be. He asked me to invite someone to be part of a DP as soon as he gets home. When I told him that I thought that I could line up two other men so that I would be fucked in all three holes simultaneously he actually blew his load. I was watching him on his web cam."
"Wow! My wife had pretty much the same reaction when I told her about giving you a DP. In fact she wants me to invite you home this Saturday night."
"She's not wanting to murder me, is she?"
"No. Not at all. I think that she is more likely to want a MFF threesome. Are you up for that?"
"Fuck, yes. I don't know if it is something that I will enjoy, but I want to try everything. I've never felt so wild before. I love it."
That night I spoke to my husband again and told him about Kevin's invitation for Saturday night. Again he was very jealous, until I reassured him that I thought that Kevin and his wife would be up for a foursome with him and me, after he gets home. He didn't actually blow his load this time but his prick was very stiff as he stroked it while I watched on the web cam. We were both naked and watching each other thanks to Skype.
"Ted. I'm so glad that you told me to take a lover while you were away, and I'm so glad that you want to share with me in exploring DPs and other combinations of lovers."
That's when he lost his load again.
"I guess that that means that you want to explore these new fantasies with me?"
On Saturday night, when I knocked on Kevin's door, I was wearing an overcoat which hid the little that I was wearing underneath: a see-through top which revealed my upper body, especially my unrestrained boobs and my nipples which were already erect, and a tiny skirt which only just covered my bum and my bare pussy. My legs were bare and I wore high heels.
Kevin met me at the door, dressed only in track-suit pants. He gave me a lover's kiss, then took my coat and led me into the house to meet Alicia, his wife, who was dressed like me. Alicia rushed to give me a big bear hug and a sloppy kiss. I did not detect any negative vibes that I might have expected from the wife of a man that I fucked every day that week.
"Sally! Kevin's been telling me wonderful things about you. I do hope that you are in a playful mood tonight?"
And she squeezed one of my nipples through my top.
"I've not had any experience playing with a man and his wife, but I'm keen to learn. Will you teach me?"
"I think that it will come naturally to you. Kevin says that you are really into sex. Why don't we both strip while Kevin pours drinks for us."
So, five minutes after I walked through the front door, there I was naked, except that I kept my heels on, sipping a cold glass of wine and chatting with an equally naked Alicia and her husband, who was still in his pants.
"So Sally. I hope that you don't mind. Dinner wont be ready for a while yet, because I deliberately left time for a first play period before we ate. That way Kevin should be up to a second fuck after we've eaten."
She organised us so that she was lying on a couple of cushions on the floor with her legs spread wide apart. Then she pulled my head into her crotch ready to eat her pussy. Kevin slipped out of his track-suit pants and his prick was stiff and ready to fuck. I was kneeling between Alicia's spread legs, with my bum in the air. As I started licking between Alicia's labia, I felt Kevin's cock slide into my cunt. Because we had fucked so many times that week, and also because I was wet with excitement he slid easily into me.
While I was so full of Kevin's cock it was difficult to concentrate on giving Alicia the stimulation that she craved and I wanted to give her. It seems that I didn't do too bad a job however because Alicia was the first to cum. Her orgasm triggered mine and for the next ... I have no idea how long it lasted, I just know that when I came to my senses, Kevin's cock had shriveled and slipped out of me and his cum was dribbling out of my cunt.
Alicia went to the kitchen to dish the meal and Kevin poured more wine. Since neither of them made any move to cover their nudity, I stayed naked too. Over dinner the only topic of conversation was sex, how much we enjoyed it and what we had tried or wanted to try. Kevin had repeated to Alicia my story about Fred shooting his load when I told him that I wanted him and two other cocks to fuck my three holes at the same time.
"So Sally, I'm sure that Kevin could recruit a couple of other cocks if you want to experience a triple penetration before your husband gets back from America. Would you like that?"
"No. I want to save that for my husband. I'm having a wonderful time exploring my new-found wild sexuality – like this evening for example. My husband has given me the freedom to do anything but I want to share my first triple with him. I think that is one way that I can show him that I still do love him, despite all the other partners that I'm fucking while he's away. Besides, it should mean that I don't have to go back to being his faithful wife after he comes home."
"Have you discussed that with him?" Kevin wanted to know.
"Well. The other night when I told him about tonight he was jealous until I told him that I hoped that you two would be up for a foursome with him and me, after he got back. That's when he lost his load again. Unless he changes his mind, I think that's all the answer that I need. Don't you think so?"
After dinner we moved to their bed. This time I sat against the head-board with my legs spread wide, Alicia dived into my cunt and started to eat my pussy, with her bum stuck up in the air. I watched Kevin push into Alicia's cunt and start stroking in and out. I wondered what Fred's reaction would be when I gave him all the details of this evening. It wouldn't surprise me if he blew another load.
My orgasm, when it hit me was as mind blowing as the first one this evening. I may even have blacked out for a bit because Kevin and Alicia were looking at me anxiously when I became aware of my surroundings.
"Wow! You guys have given me the two most mind-blowing orgasms of my life. I don't know how to thank you both, enough."
"Well. Why don't you stay here for tonight, and tomorrow you might find a way to thank us both."

Let {Fn(x)} be a sequence of distribution functions depending on a parameter n, and converging to a limiting distribution Φ(x) as n increases. Then a generalized expansion of Cornish-Fisher type is an asymptotic relation between the quantiles of Fn and Φ. The original Cornish-Fisher formulae [3], [5] provided leading terms of these expansions in the case of normal Φ, expressing a normal deviate in terms of the corresponding quantile of Fn and its cumulants (the "normalizing" expansion) and, conversely, the quantiles of Fn in terms of its cumulants and the corresponding quantiles of Φ (the "inverse" expansion). The value of both these asymptotic formulae has been well illustrated by their use in approximating the quantiles of complicated distributions (Johnson and Welch [9], Fisher [4], Goldberg and Levine [6]), and for obtaining random quantiles for distribution sampling applications (Teichroew [13], Bol'shev [2]). For a survey of the literature on Cornish-Fisher expansions, and some discussion of their validity, see Wallace ([14], Section 4). In Sections 2, 3 of the present paper, formal expansions are obtained which generalize the Cornish-Fisher relations to arbitrary analytic Φ. Essentially, these expansions provide algorithms for transforming an asymptotic expansion of Fn in terms of the "standard" distribution Φ into asymptotic relations between the quantiles of these distributions. The "standardizing" expansion of the quantile u of Φ in terms of the corresponding quantile x of Fn is expressed (Section 2) in terms of a sequence of functions defined by a differential recurrence operator. A similar differential operator appears in the generalized "inverse" expansion for x in terms of u (Section 3), which arises from the application of Lagrange's inversion formula to the equation of quantiles. An asymptotic expansion for quantiles of the Wilks likelihood ratio criterion is given as an example. Formal expansions in terms of the cumulants of Fn and Φ are obtained in Section 4 by developing Fn about Φ as a Charlier differential series and collecting terms of like degree in the resulting exponential series. For known cumulants and for normal Φ these formal expressions reduce, as shown in Section 5, to a general form of the Cornish-Fisher expansions, in which the polynomial terms are represented as sums of products of Hermite polynomials. This representation is shown in Section 6 to account for some properties of the Cornish-Fisher polynomials.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Will Hillary Follow Through On Campaign Pledge To Ban 'Private Mercenaries'?
"For five years their behavior and lack of supervision and accountability have often eroded our credibility, endangered U.S. and Iraqi lives and undermined our mission," she noted.
But given Hillary's current position as Secretary of State designate, the most significant part of her stance can be found in Section 4 of the Stop Outsourcing Security Act, which explicitly directs the Secretary of State to take action:
Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall ensure that all personnel at any United States diplomatic or consular mission in Iraq are provided security services only by Federal Government personnel.
Senator Clinton's office has not responded to TPMmuckraker's inquires about whether she still supports S.2398 and about her plans for the State Department's use of private forces in Iraq.
So what exactly is at stake here? Between 2003 and 2007, the State Department awarded contracts for security and non-security work in Iraq totaling a massive $4 billion, according to an August report (pdf) by the Congressional Budget Office. Six thousand seven hundred contractors are working in Iraq for the State Department - about 40 percent of whom work on security, and another 25 percent of whom are classified as "police and correction advisers," the report found. Of the total 6,700 contractors, only a third are U.S. citizens, and nearly half are citizens of neither U.S. citizens nor "local nationals."
A congressional investigation found that private State Department security contractors from Blackwater alone were involved in nearly 200 "escalation of force" incidents between 2005 and 2007, including multiple killings of Iraqi civilians.
As for Barack Obama's stance on the issue, he never went as far as Hillary during the primary, and The Nation quoted a senior adviser saying Obama did not support the Stop Outsourcing Security Act. The transition's official Web site only says that Obama will "establish the legal status of contractor personnel, making possible prosecution of any abuses committed by private military contract."
We've put in an inquiry with the transition office for more detailed information on the President-Elect's plans. But if Obama does support the continuing use of firms like Blackwater in Iraq -- and requires Hillary to follow the same policy -- she may soon find herself running a department that employs forces she once described as endangering both US lives and the mission In Iraq.

Hemet residents and visitors were recently surveyed about their public safety concerns, and while the police chief said many areas were referenced, there was something mentioned more than anything else.
âOne issue in the Quality of Life Survey that jumped out is the issue of panhandling, vagrancy, trespassing and loitering,â Dave Brown told the City Council last week. The survey âclearly indicates that people in our community are concerned, afraid and fed-up with the aggressive panhandling and disregard for common courtesy.â
Itâs not uncommon for residents to be asked for money while filling their vehicles at gas stations and outside businesses.
To help combat the issue, Brown is setting up a task force led by four retired police investigators who will âwork with the city team and stakeholders in the faith, business and nonprofit communities to develop a long-term, sustainable strategyâ to help the needy, Brown said. Among the task forceâs goals is restoring community parks so all residents can enjoy them.
While heâs in support of cleaning up the town, Jim Lineberger, executive director of the Valley Community Pantry food bank, said itâs unfair to lay all of the townâs ills on homeless people, many of whom congregate in Weston Park in downtown Hemet.
âThey are not all the ones littering,â he said. âYou have punks, you have gang-bangers causing problems. Letâs treat these people as humans.â
Brown said assistance should be offered to those who seek it.
âIt is not OK for our community to ignore the needs of the truly needy, but it is also not OK for us to allow our city parks and business district to be overrun by those who chose to blatantly ignore city and state law,â Brown told the council.
He cited issues that residents have had, such as an attorney who said she has to lock her door during business hours because of vandalism and trespassing, a chiropractor with a downtown office who said she is losing patients because of the intimidation and trash, and members of the shuffleboard club who said that club members are too afraid to use their facility in Weston Park and out-of-town players have stopped coming.
Lineberger commiserates with those people, but also said its not just homeless people who cause problems and bother residents.
Brown said the goal is not to chase homeless people out of town.
âIt is imperative that we not approach this as a program designed to push needy people out of the parks, but that we work with our partners in nonprofit, charitable, faith-based and government organizations to get people connected with the resources they need,â he told the council.
Lineberger said federal law protects the rights of homeless people to stay in public areas from sun up to sundown without being harassed.
He said his agency, which provides food and sanitary items and other services for those in need, will not help anyone who is caught breaking the law.
Lineberger said homelessness is a complicated issue.
âWe need to come together and find a solution,â he said. âI respect whatâs going on, I understand, but is this the right way to do it?â

An Overview of the 2014 QHP Templates Last Updated: February 13, 2014
On November 20, 2012, CMS published CMS Form Number: CMS-10433: Initial Plan Data Collection to Support QHP Certification and other Financial Management and Exchange Operations. A part of the collection of this data will be in the form of Microsoft Excel workbooks with embedded Macros which will assist the filing issuers as they gather and enter the required data elements. These Microsoft Excel workbooks are referred to as "templates" and are intended to create a nationwide standard of plan- and issuer-level data collection for the use of QHP l versions that will be used by issuers to use in applying for certification to participate in the Federally-facilitated Exchanges and State Partnership Exccertification, exchange operations, and oversight activities.
The templates below represent the final changes. Most State Based Exchanges will also use these templates. Please note that external testing of the templates will occur through the month of March, the results of which may lead to minor changes in the templates to be used for final QHP application submission. The plans and benefits template will be released with the latest add-in file versions of the state-specific benchmark data and AV calculator.
Plan/Benefit Template (Updated 5/16/2013)
Collects plan and benefit data for medical and dental.
The updated file corrected discrepancies some issuers encountered between the Benefits Template and the Stand Alone AV Calculator. Also enables issuers to change the Plan Marketing Name in the Benefits Template.
The updated file corrected a defect for some issuers who need to enter "0" for copays and co-insurance.
Rate Data Template (Updated 5/22/2013)
The updated file corrected defect for some issuers who experience problem due to rounding errors for non-tobacco rates.
