The main guide at the Biblical Museum of Natural History was away today, so I led the tours. Among the visitors today were: 

  • A German Christian family spending some time in Israel who were returning for their second visit in three months, because they loved it so much;

  • An Asian visitor who wrote the first 5-star review of the museum in Chinese (at least, it looks Chinese to me);

  • A Californian Jewish retired couple with their children and grandchildren that they came to visit;

  • An Israeli Arab learning to be a tour guide who was so fascinated that he bought The Torah Encyclopedia of the Animal Kingdom and asked me to inscribe it;

  • Several other tour guides, one of whom mentioned that of all the museums he's been to in Israel, ours is the best;

  • And an ultra-charedi principal of a cheder in Beitar who came to check out the museum, and liked it so much that he is sending 120 children. 

Stay tuned for a major announcement about The Biblical Museum of Natural History coming next week!
