On a recent visit to the West Bank, I stopped by the Al Karawan Restaurant. Located across the street from Rachel’s Tomb, Abu Zzuz used to have big lunch crowds. A new Israeli security wall separates Abu Zzuz from tourists. Still, the food is fresh, hot and tastey!

Tim Frakes Productions has won a DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Award of Excellence from the Religion Communicators council for “Peace Not Walls: Making a Difference in the Holy Land. The video was produced for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America “Peace Not Walls” Campaign. Carol LaHurd, the ELCA’s Peace Not Walls coordinator and I worked on this project with help from Ben McDonald Coltvet, Barbara Berry Bailey and others.
The video was recorded on location in Jerusalem, and the West Bank and outlines the ELCA’s strategy for peace in the Middle East and accompaniment with Palestinian Christians.
The DeRose-Hinkhouse Memorial Awards are presented annually to members of the RCC who demonstrate excellence in religion communications and public relations.
