Delve deeper and seek the answer to the question: how has the physical Land of Israel influenced Christian theology over time?

It’s with deep sadness that we share with that our beloved colleague and dear friend, Bishara Sahhar, passed away unexpectedly early Friday morning, 01 May 2026. 

Bishara served JUC for 30 year. His loyalty, kindness, helpfulness, and professionalism were ever-present in his work with our local finances and business in Jerusalem. He was a dedicated employee, a compassionate colleague, and a very kind human being in every sense. He was always the first to step in and help no matter the situation, and his love for JUC was evident in everything he did. We will deeply miss him.

Bishara was also a loving and devoted father. In every conversation, he spoke about his children with pride and deep affection. Please pray for his family – Hala, Emile, Georgette, Jacob, and Natalie – during this very difficult time.

Living on a historic campus means taking care of it well.

Drs. Elaine and Perry Phillips organized a work party dedicated to giving attention and care to the Protestant Cemetery. Students joined in to repair Bishop Gobat’s visage and the Spafford grave, along with extensive weeding and general yard work.

Their efforts made a visible difference, but more importantly, they helped honor individuals who are deeply meaningful to the JUC community. Grateful for the hands that showed up to serve and steward this space so well.
