The Jerusalem Post online edition ran an article this week about the Hill of Evil Counsel. During the Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) in 1937, the hilltop pictured in the article was home to the Government House of the British Crown, occupied by High Commissioner Sir Arthur Grenfell Wauchope. The infamous name, Hill of Evil Counsel, comes from tradition that marks this as the location where Caiaphas, the High Priest, and his men made the decision to hand Jesus over to the Romans. This hilltop is also the traditional location where Abraham first viewed Mt. Moriah on his way to offer Isaac as a sacrifice. Today, The Hill of Evil Counsel is home to the United Nations headquarters. A fitting name? You make the call.
