We drove into Haifa which is one of the largest port cities in Israel. It houses the Bahai temple built on the hillside of Mount Caramel along with its magnificent gardens. It is a religion based on the theory that all people are equally important and we learned that they propose a universal language to connect everyone called Esperanto. We also drove by Mount Hertz. This is named after Theodore Hertz who died in Vienna in 1904. He was the founder of the movement for a separate Jewish state who said “If you want it, it’s not a dream”. In 1948 after the establishment of Israel, his remains were moved from burial in Vienna to Israel.
