Not even a war can stop Israel building on its 75-years of success in rebuilding a Jewish State. Israel continues to build up its basket of subsidized medical treatments, create new remedies for global diseases, discover the secret for building bigger families, and construct medical centers for rehabilitating the injured. The latest news includes the Israeli woman who oversees the building of Israel's missile defense system; an Israeli app that rebuilds broken speech into coherent conversation; and 30 Israeli NGOs rebuilding lives in Africa. Israeli startups are restoring the environment, while building efficient EV batteries, hydrogen-powered flying cars, and creating sustainable aviation fuel. Meanwhile, many Jewish citizens of Europe and the US are realizing that now it is the time to build a new life in Israel. The photo (TY Sharon) is of Jerusalem's Hurva and the Tiferet synagogues, rebuilt and being rebuilt, after being blown up by the Jordanian army in 1948.

I feel like those poor bastards trying to repair the Hurva Synagogue, going and trying to get permissions for things and repeatedly being denied, and then finally getting them and having them be worthless after all that effort because the people actually in the place deny you the permissions that have been granted

Jewish Israel Tour: A Way To Explore & Experience The Rich History And Culture Of Israel

The best approach to exploring the Holy land is to delve into its fascinating history while traveling there. From ancient archaeological wonders to the Dead Sea and the Old City of Jerusalem, sites are abundant for you throughout the region. A tailor-made Jewish Israel tour is a perfect way to get introduced to many meaningful sites in the Holy Land.

Hey, I am Ori Stern, a reputed tour operator & travel guide happy to provide a handy visitor’s guide that includes all you need to know about your first Jewish Israel tours!! I can curate a unique Jewish Israel Tour that takes you into the rich history and vibrant storytelling of Jewish Heritage in Israel. Join me to develop a stronger connection and understanding of the past and present of Jewish life. I can arrange tour packages depending on your unique interests, schedule, and financial constraints.

One of the things I have asked frequently is if I have any explicit advice to make the Jewish Israel tours exciting. This is a place I’m very familiar with!! I was born in this holy land and actively involved in the tourism industry for prolonged years. I have many local friends. Are you preparing for your first vacation and wondering whether you can “see Israel like a local? “Is Israel safe to visit?” or “what will be the budget for my Jewish Israel tours?”- I CAN HELP!! Our Jewish Israel tours are designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the country’s history and its significance to the Jewish people!

Most of my Jewish Israel Tours offer a unique and enlightening experience for individuals and groups looking to explore the rich history and culture of the Jewish people in Israel. Have a look at our selection of well-liked Jewish sites intended to create a well-balanced vacation experience.

One of the highlights of a Jewish Israel Tour is visiting the Western Wall, also known as the Kotel. The Western Wall is the only remaining part of the Second Temple, which was destroyed by the Romans in 70 CE. The wall is considered a sacred site for Jews and is a place for prayer and reflection. Visitors can leave written prayers in the cracks of the wall, a tradition that dates back centuries.

Another popular destination on a Jewish Israel Tour is the Old City of Jerusalem. The Old City is home to several important religious sites, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is believed to be the site of the crucifixion of Jesus, and the Dome of the Rock, a sacred site for Muslims. The Old City is also home to the Jewish Quarter, where visitors can see the restored Hurva Synagogue and the Cardo, an ancient Roman street that has been restored to its original condition.

The Holocaust is a tough and emotional part of Jewish history, and a Jewish Israel Tour includes a visit to Yad Vashem, Israel’s official memorial to the victims of the Holocaust. The museum is a powerful and moving experience that provides a deeper understanding of the atrocities committed during the Holocaust and the impact it had on the Jewish people.

Jewish Israel Tours also include visits to other important historical and cultural sites, such as the City of David, the ancient capital of Jerusalem, and the Masada, a fortress built by King Herod that was the site of a famous battle during the Roman occupation of Israel.

In addition to historical and cultural sites, Jewish Israel Tours bring opportunities to experience the modern culture and society of Israel. Visitors can enjoy the nightlife, shopping, and delicious food of Tel Aviv, and explore the vibrant arts and culture scene in the city.

Overall, my Jewish Israel Tours provide a unique and expressive involvement for those looking to explore the rich history and culture of the Jewish people in Israel. My Jewish Israel Tours basically combines the historical & cultural sites. Also, I create an opportunity to experience modern Israel. I can say it would be a comprehensive and enlightening travel experience.

Second Temple of Jerusalem built by Herod

The Temple is located in Mount Moriah, over the rock on which God commanded Abraham was to sacrifice his son, Isaac (Genesis 22). Though he eventually sacrificed a ram instead of his son, that sacrifice created a blood bound between the Jews and God.

Solomon built the first Temple on that rock to commemorate the blood-bond, and since then, every…

Jerusalem’s Old City was largely deserted Saturday due to coronavirus fears

and lockdowns.The Christian Quarter was the worst hit, with shops closed throughout the usually-bustling tourist markets. Restaurants were also closed and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre saw only a handful of religious visitors. The usual tourist groups were absent.Read More Related Articles

Several armed police units patrolled the shuk (market) that leads to the Temple Mount and Al-Aqsa mosque but there was no visible heightened presence of security or attempts to prevent the few people who were in the city from walking around.

In the Jewish quarter, children ran in the streets and religious men and women walked briskly along the alleys. Outside the Hurva synagogue, only a few people walked back and forth with no one stopping to talk. At the Kotel, a handful of religious men and women came to pray but the usual Shabbat atmosphere was nowhere to be found.

Church bells struck the hour and birds chirped as alleys were entirely deserted. Only one tourism shop was opened and several small convenience stores. Outside the city, a tourist kiosk was abandoned. A lone police car watched people leaving New Gate by Notre Dame. Once among the largest buildings in the Holy Land, the Notre Dame and its hundreds of rooms looked over an abandoned Old City and a quiet Route One. Not since the 1950s, when an armistice like ran along the road, was this area so quiet and deserted.

Unlike the 1950s, there were no snipers staring down from the walls as this reporter made his way back in the rain from the Old City to the new one.
