Dr. Baron lived with his wife and two youngest daughters in Israel for the past year. He traveled with the students at the BYU Jerusalem Center all over the Israel, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Egypt, and Greece.  This class will draw from his experience there to highlight some aspects of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity in the Middle East. In addition, the narratives of both the Israelis and the Palestinians, and some possible solutions, will be discussed.
