isa 10

And she goes to Nazareth.

Nazareth is about 100 miles from Jerusalem.

It is poor, overpopulated, dirty, it has dirty water, lots of disease.

And free of the Roman influence of Herod, it was a very religious place.

So they were very strong to following the Torah.

And that's important... 

because it is usually the poor people... 

that follow the religion more seriously.

So it wasn't like Jerusalem...

which was a tourist destination... 

and had more Roman influence.

It really stayed very true to rabbinic Law... 

and to the Torah and things of that sort.

So Isa a.s. grew up in a very religious place...

and his childhood speaks to that.
