Shepherds


In the Judean hills there are many caves. During the time of the Roman occupation the Jews hid in these caves and used them to facilitate their revolution, which was started by Rabbis, interestingly enough. After exploring the caves my friends and I came out into the light of the setting sun and got to see this Judean shepherd. So, the next time you happen to be reading the Psalms and you think of David the shepherd pasturing his sheep in the rolling green hills of a place like Ireland, think again. Maybe a picture like this is somewhat closer to reality.
