IsraCLIPS: brief virtual tours of sites in Israel. See the first installment: A discovery from 2600 years ago! and a Second Temple Period (1st Century CE) Burial Cave
I’ve also posted A Virtual Tour of Jerusalem: The City Lines: 1948-1967-Today.

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 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).
