A group of eight Hollywood TV and film stars completed a week-long tour of Israel Sunday as guests of Israel’s Ministry of Tourism and the Ministry of Public Diplomacy and Diaspora Affairs.

The star-studded group included Anna Lynne McCord (“90210″ , “Nip & Tuck”), Omar Epps (“House”), Paul Johansson (“One Tree Hill”), Holly Robinson Peete (“21 Jump St.”, “Hanging With Mr. Cooper”), Mekhi Phifer (“ER”, “Tuskegee Airmen”), Holt McCallany ( “Lights Out”), Zach Roerig (“Vampire Diaries”) and Paget Brewster (“Criminal Minds”).

The group of actors was led by Rabbi Irwin Katsof, the director of America’s Voices in Israel (AVI), which is part of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations. Katsof described the celebrity mission as part of an “on-going initiative to expose the Hollywood community to a wide-range of thought-provoking cultural, historical, religious and personal encounters throughout the Holy Land.”

And while the participants pointed to many highlights, faith and spirituality played a starring role amongst the stars.

Thanks for posting an article that shows at least some in H'Wood have an open mind when it comes to spiritual things.

But I have one comment (question): Am I the only one who was not familiar with ANY of these big "Hollywood Stars"? :wub:

(Man, do I feel old)

Blessings!
