Recent breakthroughs in the world of science have resulted in the long awaited invention of the time machine. It’s the latest craze! People are traveling throughout time, visiting all sorts of past and future civilizations. Being the entrepreneur that you are, you ask yourself a most fundamental question, “How can I make $ off of this?”

Together with your business partners, you brainstorm for quite some time, trying to think of a business idea that’ll strike it rich. Finally, it hits you. You will provide short historical tours that cater to Jewish time travelers! Your business, aptly named JHTours.com (AOL keyword: jewtimetour), will provide your brethren with an exciting array of historical tours, allowing them to visit any destination and time period of their choice.

You decide to make your initial travel-offering center on Yerushalayim. After all, it is the world’s holiest city, serving as a central place of worship to three of the world’s largest and most influential religions. Yerushalayim also has the richest history of any city in the world, which will give you ample opportunities to present your clients with a tour that they will not soon forget.

In order to give your clients a little variety, you will offer four tour options, each one geared towards a specific era in the city’s history.

The ultimate goal of this enterprise is to prepare a two day tour of Yerushalayim in each specific time period, with a focus on current events / personalities, important buildings, and city layout.

Unfortunately, you do not have much time with which to work. People are rushing to get their businesses started and you don’t want to find yourself out of the loop. You figure that you need to be ready within the next five days in order to take full advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
