Gems in Israel – Touring Israel
Editor's Note
Year 2000 Events - A Special Edition
 The current issue is different
than most, in a number of ways. Rather than places, the
December 1999 issue focuses on events scheduled in
Israel throughout the year 2000. This issue is also
different, in that it will continually be updated with
additional information throughout the year (since in
many cases, the exact details of specific events are not
yet available).

The Abu
Gosh Festival
Vocal music from the Baroque and Renaissance
periods
Abu Gosh is an Arab village that was built over
the ruins of the biblical town of Kiryat Ye'arim (Town
of Forests). It was here (according to I Chronicles
13:5-8) that the Ark of the Covenant was kept for 20
years, before being moved by David to Jerusalem. The
Romans built a large fort here and the Crusaders
established a monastery that for many years served as a
church and military headquarters. The village is located
13 kilometers from Jerusalem.
