Excerpt from letter from Department of Pilgrimage dated January 4, 2009:
"Regarding travel within Israel, you are advised to keep any additional time before or after the date of your pilgrimage as short as possible. When making your travel plans, you are asked to use caution and wisdom. You should not plan to travel in Gaza, Jerusalem, the West Bank--which includes Bethlehem and Jericho--or the area of Israel north of Nahariya and the Sea of Galilee . . . you will be asked to follow the same rules of movement as those considered necessary for the friends here."
My husband chose to ignore this. Faced with a choice of refusing to accompany him, or going with him, I went with him. I cannot stress strongly enough the power of unquestioning obedience to the Universal House of Justice and the Baha'i World Center, just for the sake of obedience. However, as I report on our travels, my notes will not reflect this level of compliance.
