The Incredible Mount Tabor
Today we are visiting the stunning Mount Tabor, which is often used by scripture to denote majesty.
Largest Israeli zipline opens in the heart of Biblical Jerusalem
The Holy City has opened a new attraction where one can literally RIDE the Bible in the most exhilarating way possible: a 731-meter (223 feet) zipline, Israel’s longest.
Part 1: Biblical Animals of Israel
Israel is rarely mentioned when discussing the top destinations on Earth for wildlife enthusiasts, with the exception of birdwatching, for which it is among the best places on on the planet. Nonetheless, Israel has been home to some of the world’s most exotic animals—worthy of any safari—for thousands of years, from Biblical times until quite recently!
Part 3: Visiting the Jordan River
Today we are visiting one of my favorite sites: Qasr El Yehud on the Jordan River, by far the most mentioned body of water in the bible (181 times). According to tradition, this is the exact spot where Joshua and the Children of Israel entered the holy land.
Part 2: Experiencing Mount Nebo (from Israel!)
Jordan’s best Biblical sites can be experienced WITHOUT ever leaving Israel. Today, we will explore a site so important that the Torah, the Five Books of Moses, ends with it and the Book of Joshua begins in that area. Of course, I am talking about Mount Nebo!
Part 1: Biblical Gilead Mountains, Jabbok River, and Jordan Valley
Today, we will leave Jerusalem and head north along highway 90, on route to Tiberias. On the way, we will stop at the IDF Jordan Valley war monument which is merely a few kilometers from the border. This area offers a panoramic view of a large section of Jordan, specifically the Biblical Gilead mountains and Jabbok River.
Breathtaking Biblical Mount Ebal
Today we are visiting Mount Ebal, a special biblical site (whose structure is mentioned explicitly in the Bible). This site is breathtaking, but seldom visited.
A Mosaic Treasure at Ein Gedi!
The Oasis of Ein Gedi, a site mentioned many times in the Bible, is one of Israel’s most visited sites. Today however, we will venture off the beaten track, and explore one of Ein Gedi’s lesser known sites: the Ancient, Talmudic Synagogue.
Travel To Biblical Beit Shemesh
I live in Beit Shemesh, which is Israel’s fastest-growing city. From every vantage point, one can see new neighborhoods being built on the horizon.
Let’s Visit Biblical Gezer
Today we visit Tel Gezer, an exciting biblical site that tourists seldom visit. From afar it seems to be a non-descriptive desolate hill, but those who choose to enter this historic wonder are immediately treated to an abundance of stunning Biblical archeology!
