הכותל המערבי כולל תמונות עתיקות The Western Wall is located in the Old City of
Jerusalem at the foot of the western side of the Temple Mount. It is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple's courtyard and is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism outside of the Temple Mount itself. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great. The remaining layers were added from the 7th century onwards. The Western Wall refers not only to the exposed section facing a large plaza in the Jewish Quarter, but also to the sections concealed behind structures running along the whole length of the Temple Mount, such as the Little Western Wall - a 25 ft (8 m) section in the Muslim Quarter.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
The Ascent Into Jerusalem on KCM’s 2019 First-Ever Tour of Israel
This year, in 2019, Kenneth Copeland Ministries (KCM) offered its first ever tour of Israel on May 24 - June 4. This tour—this pilgrimage to the Holy Land—was a special time of spiritual growth for its attendees. Pastor George Pearsons, who hosted the tour along with his wife Terri Copeland Pearsons, reminds us in this video of Jerusalem’s importance to Christian pilgrims and to their understanding of Scripture. Those who attended this tour gained an even greater understanding of certain passages by seeing the topography surrounding the city and visiting key biblical sites, which have stood the test of time for more than 4,000 years.
Mentioned more than 800 times in the Bible, Jerusalem has been called City of God, Joyful City and Desired One. It sits 2,500 feet above sea level, and yet, just 22 miles to its east is the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth. This change in elevation explains why John 5:1 states that “Jesus went up to Jerusalem.” Of course, the idea of ascending to Jerusalem is not merely geographical. It is also spiritual, as the attendees of KCM’s first-ever tour of Israel discovered. And they are not alone. Often Christian tours read aloud the Psalms of Ascent (Psalms 120-134) as they make their ways by tour buses to the Holy City.
The importance of Jerusalem to God is made clear in Psalm 132:13-14: “For the Lord has chosen Jerusalem; he has desired it for his home. ‘This is my resting place forever,’ he said. ‘I will live here, for this is the home I desired.’”
Enjoy this video of Kenneth Copeland Ministries’ 2019 tour of Israel. Let it inspire you to make your own Holy Land pilgrimage to the City of God. And if you’d like to receive information about KCM’s next tour of Israel, visit or to sign up for newsletters and news. We look forward to seeing see you there!

Garden of Gethsemane
Gethsemane (Greek: Γεθσημανή, Gethsemane; Hebrew: גת שמנים, Gat Shmanim; Classical Syriac: ܓܕܣܡܢ, Gaḏ Šmānê, lit. oil press) is an urban garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, most famous as the place where Jesus prayed and his disciples slept the night before his crucifixion; i.e. the site recorded as where the agony in the garden took place.
Garden of Gethsemane, 1914
According to the New Testament it was a place that Jesus and his disciples customarily visited, which allowed Judas to find him on the night of his arrest.[5]
There are four[6] locations claimed to be the place where Jesus prayed on the night he was betrayed.
The Church of All Nations overlooking a garden with the Rock of the Agony.
The location near the Tomb of the Virgin Mary to the north.
The Greek Orthodox location to the east.
The Russian Orthodox orchard, next to the Church of Maria Magdalene.
William McClure Thomson, author of The Land and the Book, first published in 1880, wrote: When I first came to Jerusalem, and for many years afterward, this plot of ground was open to all whenever they chose to come and meditate beneath its very old olive trees. The Latins, however, have within the last few years succeeded in gaining sole possession, and have built a high wall around it. The Greeks have invented another site a little to the north of it. My own impression is that both are wrong. The position is too near the city, and so close to what must have always been the great thoroughfare eastward, that our Lord would scarcely have selected it for retirement on that dangerous and dismal night. I am inclined to place the garden in the secluded vale several hundred yards to the north-east of the present Gethsemane.[7]
All of the foregoing is based on long-held tradition and the conflating of the synoptic accounts of Mark (14:31) and Matthew (26:36) with the Johannine account (John 18:1). Mark and Matthew record that Jesus went to a place called the oil press (Gethsemane) and John states he went to a garden near the Kidron Valley. Modern scholarship acknowledges that the exact location of Gethsemane is unknown.[8]
Jerusalem - Tour of the Holy City
I arrived to Jerusalem from Eilat for 4 days total. I stayed at first at Post Hostel about 5 minutes walk to Jaffa Gate and the location was amazing. I highly recommend that hostel.
I took the free walking tour that started at 2pm right outside the Jaffa Gate and that was a great way to learn about the old city for 2.5 hours.
We got to explore the Armenian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter, the Muslim Quarter and sites like the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. I definitely recommend taking a tour free or not.
In future videos, I will show more in depth the archeological park next to the Western Wall as well as the Western Wall tunnels.
The Old City can only be explored on foot, and there are so many streets to get lost on, it's great.
My recommendation is 2-3 full days in Jerusalem to see most if not all the major sites and then travel out. You can do a one day fast tour if you have little time. Make sure to go up tp the Mount of Olives!

Israel tour video 2 outlook of Jerusalem

western wall tunnel,jerusalem israel
In the nineteenth century, the most distinguished Jerusalem scholars were already trying to determine the precise measurements of the Western Wall and describe the methods used in its construction. However, their information was incomplete, mainly because they were unable to discover the wall's entire length. Nevertheless, British researchers Charles Wilson, in 1864 and Charles Warren, in 1867-1870, uncovered the northern extension of the Western Wall Prayer Plaza. The shafts that Charles Warren dug through Wilson's Arch can still be seen today.
Immediately after the Six Day War, the Ministry of Religious Affairs began the project of exposing the entire length of the Western Wall.
It was a difficult operation, which involved digging beneath residential neighborhoods that had been constructed on ancient structures from the Second Temple period and were built up against the Western Wall. Some residents used underground spaces as water holes or for sewage collection. The excavations required close supervision by experts in the fields of structural engineering, securing subterranean tunnels, archeology, and of course, Jewish Law.
After almost twenty years, and despite enormous difficulties, the Western Wall Tunnels were excavated. This lengthy project unearthed many archeological finds which can only be described as remarkable. These finds revealed new and unknown details about the history and the geography of the Temple Mount site.
When the Western Wall Heritage Foundation was established, it was given the responsibility of continuing the excavations, which revealed ancient Jerusalem in all its glory, and bringing them to the public's attention by opening the tunnels to visitors.
Due to the great delicacy of the Western Wall and its environs and the complexity of the excavations, they were carried out with great caution and under constant rabbinic and scientific supervision. Thus, slowly but surely, a magnificent Jerusalem from over 2,000 years ago was rediscovered. The process of these complicated excavations was decided upon after much deliberation and care, while taking into consideration aspects that are not characteristic of other archeological excavations.
The excavators were faced with complicated engineering problems, such as maintaining the stability of the structures above them while ensuring that the courses of Western Wall stones that had been uncovered would not be damaged in any way. They also had to divert the sewage from the houses above them, which on occasion flushed down unexpectedly on top of the archeologists in the tunnels, into the general sewage system.
Advancing at a snail's pace, they uncovered genuine treasures. As time went on, the tunnels became a time tunnel, transporting anyone in them to the heyday of Jerusalem, in the first century c.e., the greatest days in the history of the city.
They found enormous courses of distinctively carved stone that were remarkably well preserved. There were also remains of the Herodian road which ran alongside the Temple Mount, ancient cisterns, impressive construction efforts from the Muslim era, and a Hasmonean period aqueduct that had been blocked by Herod's construction of the Western Wall.
All of these amazing portholes to the past can be seen at the Western Wall Tunnels, which is why visiting them is so thrilling. A visit to the Tunnels is not just an awe-inspiring journey through time, but also a fascinating lesson in Jewish history and in the archeology and topography of Jerusalem.
Opening the tunnels to the public required complicated and unique engineering and safety solutions to allow safe and enjoyable access. It was a long process, which included the development of walking paths, air conditioning, signs and lighting, and insuring that the site is wheelchair accessible and can accommodate visitors with disabilities. Audio/visual aids were developed and guides were trained to help visitors explore the mysteries of the Tunnels.
The work is far from completed. Much more still lies hidden than has been revealed at the foot of the Temple Mount.
TRIP TO JERUSALEM, ISRAEL - Caregiver in Israel
In this video, we will show you guys the things that any one can do in the Old City of Jerusalem. We decided to go first in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and then go in the Western Wall afterwards. We also got the chance to go around the bazaar market along via dolorosa.
We also walk by foot until the Jaffa Street wherein I just fell that I'm not inside Jerusalem itself. There's a big difference from the ambiance, and the sculpture of the buildings. I feel that I'm in Europe ????

Israel's Critical Security Needs for a Viable Peace
Israel has historically been a small state surrounded by hostile countries, some of which are many times its size. In its first fifty years, it found itself engaged in five full-scale wars.
Israel has little strategic depth. Only 44 miles separate between the Jordan Valley and the Mediterranean Sea. A modern fighter bomber can cross this distance in three minutes.
After the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel came under attack by four armies on three fronts, UN Security Council Resolution 242 declared that Israel had the “right to live in peace within secure and recognized boundaries free from threats or acts of force.” It was not expected to withdraw fully to the fragile armistice lines from which it had been repeatedly attacked.
Prior to Israel’s unilateral disengagement from the Gaza Strip in 2005, President George W. Bush sent Prime Minister Ariel Sharon a letter of assurance about the West Bank in which he stated, “The United States reiterates its steadfast commitment to Israel’s security, including secure, defensible borders.”
Both Houses of the U.S. Congress overwhelmingly approved the letter.
What are Israel’s defensible borders?
1. The Jordan Rift Valley
The Jordan Rift Valley, Israel’s eastern frontier, forms a natural barrier between Israel and Jordan, and beyond Jordan, Iraq, and Iran. The Jordan Valley and the mountains that dominate it create a steep 4,200-foot virtual wall opposite any force attacking from the east.
In the past, Israel faced numerically superior conventional armies. Though outnumbered, it succeeded in winning decisively by fully exploiting the principles of ground warfare.
Today, Israel faces mainly terror armies, like Hizbullah, Hamas, and ISIS. It must be stressed that as long as wars are fought and ultimately won by the maneuverability of land armies, the terrain and strategic depth will remain at the core of Israeli national security.
To defend itself from attacks from the east, Israel must retain control over the Jordan Valley and the western mountain ridge that dominates it. Israel cannot concede this vital area in any diplomatic arrangement. That was the position taken by the architects of Israel’s national security, like Yigal Allon, Moshe Dayan, and Yitzhak Rabin, and it remains as relevant today as it was back then.
2. Israel’s mountain ridge
Israeli withdrawal to the 1967 lines, really the 1949 armistice lines, would be suicidal. The western slopes of the mountain ridge dominate Israel’s coastal plain, where more than 70% of its population, and 80% of its industrial capacity is located. All flights in and out of Israel’s main international airport, Ben-Gurion, would be threatened by shoulder-launched anti-aircraft missiles. Vital early-warning stations facing east would be lost.
With terror armies increasingly using low-flying drones in Syria and Yemen, Israel must protect its air defense assets all along this critical terrain.
With a full withdrawal, the country’s width would be reduced to a narrow nine-mile waistline and would be impossible to defend.
Therefore any future arrangement must include Israeli control over key parts of the mountain ridge, demilitarization of the West Bank, and continuing Israeli control of its air-space.
3. Defense from terror tunnels
In addition, Israel must protect itself against the kind of attack tunnels used in recent years by Hamas and Hizbullah along its southern and northern fronts. The attack tunnels are emerging as part of the news strategic landscape facing Israel on all its fronts. To preclude their use, Israel must retain over-riding security responsibility within the area from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.
In the last two decades, it had been hoped that Israeli withdrawals from Gaza and Southern Lebanon would reduce the hostile intent of its adversaries. But the exact opposite occurred. The withdrawals only led to escalating threats along its borders. Moreover, the past notion that great powers would intervene in the Middle East to halt acts of aggression when red lines were crossed has been disproven. Increasingly, Middle East states are on their own.
In a volatile Middle East, where there is an explosive mix of resurgent jihadist movements, and regimes driven by hegemonial ambitions, uncertainty is rampant. More than ever, it is crucial to ensure defensible borders for Israel. So that Israel can defend itself by itself.
JERUSALEM: The WALLS of the OLD CITY, from the ARMENIAN to JEWISH QUARTER ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's visit the Old City of Jerusalem and let's walk on the defensive walls, starting from Jaffa Gate and by completing our walk at Dung Gate. We will be walking around the Armenian and the Jewish quarters. The Walls of Jerusalem surround the Old City of Jerusalem ( which is approx. on square kilometer in size). In 1535, when Jerusalem was part of the Ottoman Empire, Sultan Suleiman I ordered the ruined city walls to be rebuilt. The work took some four years, between 1537 and 1541.
The length of the walls is 4,018 meters (2.5 miles), their average height is 12 meters (39.37 feet) and the average thickness is 2.5 meters (8.2 feet). The walls contain 34 watchtowers and seven main gates open for traffic, we will start our walk from Jaffa Gate on the western side of the Old City.
Jerusalem is a city in the Middle East, located on a plateau in the Judaean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. It is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The Garden of Gethsemane, Jerusalem, Israel
The Garden of Gethsemane is located on the Mount of Olives on a hill overlooking the walls of Old Jerusalem. Jesus would come to the garden to pray, and it is here where the Roman soldiers arrested him before his crucifixion. On the day of March 17, 2010, we visited the garden, full of ancient olive trees. From here, we could hear gunfire coming from the Old City, as conflicts are going on around East Jerusalem. Pretty unnerving as most of us had ever heard gunfire like that before in our travels!

The last supper room, Mount Zion, Jerusalem, Israel - all you must see in that important room

The Cenacle (from Latin cenaculum), also known as the Upper Room, is the site of The Last Supper. The word is a derivative of the Latin word cena, which means dinner.
In Christian tradition, based on Acts 1:13,[1] the Upper Room was not only the site of the Last Supper (i.e. the Cenacle), but the usual place where the Apostles stayed in Jerusalem, and according to the Catholic Encyclopedia[2] the first Christian church.
Thus the Cenacle is considered the site where many other events described in the New Testament took place,[3][4] such as:
the Washing of the Feet[5]
some resurrection appearances of Jesus[6][7][8]
the gathering of the disciples after the Ascension of Jesus[9]
the election of Saint Matthias as apostle[10]
the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples on the day of Pentecos
Since at least the fourth century CE a structure identified as the Cenacle, the site of the Last Supper, has been a popular Christian pilgrimage site on Mount Zion in Jerusalem. It is documented in the narratives of many early pilgrims such as Egeria, who visited it in 384.[12] The building has experienced numerous cycles of destruction and reconstruction, culminating in the Gothic structure which stands today.
While the term Cenacle refers only to the Upper Room, the site is connected to other sites of interest, including a large cenotaph-sarcophagus located on the lower level of the same building, said first by 12th century Crusaders to be the tomb of King David. However, most scholars consider this attribution to be incorrect; 1 Kings 2:10[13] says that David was buried in the City of David, an area of Jerusalem geographically disparate from Mount Sion. The Cenacle is also connected to the Church of the Dormition.
The early history of the Cenacle site is uncertain; scholars have made attempts at establishing a chronology based on archaeological evidence and historical sources. Biblical archaeologist Bargil Pixner[14] offers these significant dates and events in the building's history.
The original building was a synagogue later probably used by Jewish Christians. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, the building was spared during the destruction of Jerusalem under Titus (AD 70),[15] though Pixner thinks it was likely rebuilt right after the war, and claims three walls of that structure are still extant: the North, East and South walls of the present King David's Tomb. Roman emperor Theodosius I built an octagonal church (the Theodosian Church or Holy Zion Church) aside the synagogue (that was named Church of the Apostles). The Theodosian Church, probably started on 382 AD, was consecrated by John II, Bishop of Jerusalem on 394 AD. Some years later, c. 415 AD, Bishop John II enlarged the Holy Zion Church transforming it in a large rectangular basilica with five naves, always aside the Church of the Apostles. This building was later destroyed by Persian invaders in 614 AD and shortly after partially rebuilt by patriarch Modestus. In 1009 AD the church was razed to the ground by the Muslim caliph Al-Hakim and shortly after replaced by the Crusaders with a five aisled basilica named for Saint Mary. It is thought that the Cenacle occupied a portion of two aisles on the right side of the altar.[16]
While the church was destroyed sometime after 1219, the Cenacle was spared.[16] In the 1340s, it passed into the custody of the Franciscan Order of Friars, who maintained the structure until 1552, when the Ottoman Empire took possession of it. After the Franciscan friars' eviction, this room was transformed into a mosque, as evidenced by the mihrab in the direction of Mecca and an Arabic inscription prohibiting public prayer at the site. Christians were not officially allowed to return until the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
We TRAVELED to ISRAEL !! TEL AVIV & JERUSALEM 2019 // Israel Vlog 01
Here we are guys, in the most controversial country in the world. All religions are sharing this place and they created real happiness in it! During our trip, we visited several key places in this beautiful country that is Israel. Among them, we visited Tel Aviv-Jaffa, the city that never sleeps and Jerusalem, the most sacred city in the world.
Our objective of this Israel vlog is to make you feel the positive vibes that this country has to offer you when you first set foot there. On foot, by bike or by bus we discovered Jaffa and Tel Aviv. Jaffa is a small town full of secrets with its own charm. From the old alleys to its fishing port you will fall in love with this holiday atmosphere.
After this stop, we continued towards a completely different environment. No hotter stone houses and futuristic decor. On the coast, the buildings take a look at Tel Aviv's beach. A lively beach that is surrounded by a park where musicians gather every Friday to play percussion and many hotels to welcome tourists from all over the world.
We then visited the Carmel market which is located in the heart of Tel Aviv. If you want to immerse yourself in Israeli culture, we encourage you to visit it and test the food on the market. You will be surprised!
The next day, we arrived in Jerusalem. More than a city, it is a story in itself. Many events have taken place in this symbolic place. From the moment we arrived, we felt the energy of Jerusalem and all its experience. It is with great humility that we have treaded the white stones of the old city of Jerusalem.
Many people from all over the world gather here in front of the Western Wall, in the church where the holy tomb is located and in the mosque behind the former temple of King David.
To access the Western Wall as a woman, you will need to wear a sarong to cover your legs and shoulders. As a man, you will be asked to put on the kippah as soon as you enter the sacred enclosure. Men and women are separated, but recently the Israeli state has opened a space on the wall that is accessible to both genders. Take advantage of this area to be with your loved one and live the experience to 100%.
To be honest, this is a timeless moment that Kelly and I have lived through. We took advantage of this moment to reconnect with ourselves and recharge our batteries as much as possible for the rest of our journey.
We left the old city walls and then, with Joakim's best friend, went to the new part of the city. What we love about Jerusalem are its charm and authenticity. We had the impression of being in Barcelona while walking the streets of Montpellier (where Joakim lived for 15 years in France).
Our first stage ends with a sunset and a nice tasting in a restaurant (I'll let you imagine what we could have eaten ;) This is all that matters to us to finish the day well. Share your feelings with us and comment as much as you can so that we can continue to provide you with quality content!
