Betsie speaks in Kenya about Jerusalem, the center of the three great religions. She talks frankly about the mishaps and mistakes of the young country. She depicts Israel as a country of con- trasts, but also a united country in times of danger and pressure. She talks about the rela- , tions between Jews, Chris- tians and Moslems in Israel and about the place and status of women in the country. The late Mayor of Jerusalem Gershon Agron gave her the idea of being a missionary for Israel. She studied in Kenya at an institute for Bible studies. It is situated 600 kilometers from the Nairobi. Stu- dents from all parts of the country come to this in- stitute to study the Bible. They sit in the jungle and study the Old and New Testaments. Betsie lived at the insti- tute for a month and spread the legend of Israel, the Land of the Bible. She traveled from village to vil- lage and told the children about the distant Holy Land. The children knew about it from tales of the Bi- ble. Betsie showed pictures and films from Israel. The inhabitants of the jungle listen eagerly to the tales about the distant land and ask many questions about the land and its people The Kenyans, even in the jungle, are interested in the political situation in Israel and the Middle East. They ask about wars, the prices, and daily life. Be* was surprised when she entertained by children of jungle villages with Israeli folk-songs. The older in- habitants told Betsie that they heard the songs from Israeli teachers who taught in the villages. Betsie plans to go from Kenya to other African and Asian countries to tell their inhabitants about Israel, its past, present and future.
