Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash were deeply religious people whose personal and professional lives were imbued with a sense of spiritual struggle and religious engagement. The 2005 biopic Walk the Line was very good at depicting the sex, drugs, and rock \u2019n\u2019 roll aspect of Cash\u2019s life and art, but, like almost all Hollywood movies, it steers clear of religion in general and of evangelical Protestant religion in particular. Also left out the film was the story of Johnny and June Carter Cash\u2019s passionate engagement with Israel, an engagement that grew out of their religious beliefs. John\u2019s interest in Israel started with a wish to visit the Christian holy sites and \u201cwalk where Jesus walked.\u201d\u009d Cash\u2019s initial visit to the Israel in 1966 was followed by a trip with June in 1968 and developed into a lifelong project to serve as advocates for the State of Israel, even when such advocacy was unfashionable among American performing artists.<\/p>\n
