(Jerusalem Post) American singer, actor and evangelical Christian Pat Boone is in Israel to present Yad Vashem with the Christmas card on which he scribbled the lyrics to “This Land Is Mine” – the popular song that he wrote to accompany a tune from the movie Exodus.
One of the biggest chart-toppers of the late 1950s, Boone – who recently announced a new venture to sell small plots of land in the Galilee to Christian Zionists in the United States – is here as part of a delegation led by former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee.
The singer will present the Christmas card to Shaya Ben- Yehuda, managing director of the International Relations Division at Yad Vashem, during a ceremony scheduled for Wednesday.
