Mormons in Israel feel close to religious roots

Jerusalem has a special pull on Mormons, and although Mormons living in Israel may not be actively proselytizing, they do feel close to their religious roots by being in the Holy Land.

About

Professor Ari Goldman has taught the “Covering Religion” course at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism every spring for the past 17 years, preparing his students to write about religion for a diverse readership. This year’s course looks at the religions of the Holy Land, including the Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sufi, Bahai and Druze faiths. The class includes a 10-day trip to the Holy Land in which students put their expertise to work by studying the workings of faith in a region where it is a developing story. This trip is sponsored by the Scripps Howard Foundation which has subsidized class trips for over a decade.
