In 2009 my wife and I had the luxury of 5 weeks in Israel with a personal Israeli guide. We had arrived at the beginning of Sukkot and in a discussion, apropos to nothing Christian, the guide told us that there was a long tradition of prayer for rain on the last day of Sukkot. My mind immediately jumped to Jesus' "living water" words in John 7. If that prayer for rain was a Feast of Tabernacles tradition reaching back to the first century it might provide another layer of authenticity supporting your water from the Pool of Siloam reference.
I just purchased your mother's book from Amazon. It looks fascinating and very helpful with discussions regarding the accuracy of the Gospels.
That's wonderful! We love to see it!
