In 2005, in a residential neighborhood of Jerusalem, archaeologists discovered a huge water cistern (reservoir) from the Byzantine Period, some 1500 years ago. Watch this brief video to see how this came about:
Shalom to all! Here in Israel life is slowly returning to “normal,” though we still have a long way to go. Since international travel is still weeks or months away, I decided to bring some clips of Israel to you: IsraCLIPS. Of course nothing can replace being here and being part of the landscape, but in the meantime I present a series of short video clips behind-the-scenes sites in Jerusalem and other places in Israel (and perhaps some well-traveled sites as well).
Our first installment is about an amazing discovery in burial caves from the First Temple Period (6th Century BCE). I’m happy to get your reactions and questions. By all means please share!
In honor of Israel’s 72nd birthday (which was celebrated on April 29), some tour guide colleagues – and yours truly – put together a short video of Israel sites. We hope you’ll get to Israel soon to see them in real time! The background song, written and performed by Hazzan Iris Beth Weiner says, “I’m so grateful for the State of Israel!”
In celebration of YOM HA’ATZMAUT – Israeli Independence Day (which was celebrated on April 29) – I’m honored that the World Mizrachi Movement (religious Zionists) has asked me to “guide” a virtual tour called:
“THE CITY LINES OF JERUSALEM:
1948-67 and 1967 – TODAY.”
The virtual tour can be found below. Following is a quick description:
Through rare photos and maps we trace how the borders of Jerusalem were determined in 1948 and then changed radically in the aftermath of the Six Day War in 1967. We look at how city and its borders developed in subsequent years and how the Security Barrier has impacted on the character of the city. (42 minutes).
