I would opt out of the Bethlehem visit but a visit to the Israel museum which contains the Shrine of the Book and a model of what Jerusalem looked like in the Second Temple period would be good. Of course in Jerusalem, the Great Synagogue, the Western Wall, Yad V'Shem, the Via Dolorosa, Ben Yehuda and the Mahane Yehuda markets are all nice places to visit.
