Dear friends. We present to your attention a video that was filmed exactly two years ago. In December 2022. And in December 24, by chance, the video caught our eye. And we, having watched it, decided that it was not at all by chance. During the whole year of war, we, with a great desire, were not able to get to the north of Israel. Hezbollah launched almost 23 thousand rockets at Israel in a year. The cities and agricultural villages of the north of our country found themselves under this barrage of destructive force. Fires destroyed a large number of forest areas.
A whole year later, now in December, with the onset of the truce, the reserves and archaeological parks of the north of Israel reopened. And we already have a finished video. And we decided to give it a second life. We invite you to watch.

The City of David is the site of the foundation of Holy Jerusalem. Mentioned many times in the Bible, the City of David has greatly influenced the development of civilizations in the East and West. The city has experienced ups and downs, destructions and restorations, as a result of which its deep history was hidden in many archaeological layers. A new impetus to its life arose thanks to the work of numerous archaeologists of the 19th-21st centuries, who revealed the secret of this amazing place. Now there is a huge national archaeological and cultural park, open to all comers. For those who have not yet seen our previous stories, we invite you to our channel - Israel with Pavel and Larisa, here are published more than 200 films from various places in Israel, accompanied by our original music.

Dear friends, I had the chance to visit the famous Pharan Monastery in the Judean Desert.

In this picturesque rocky gorge in the birthplace of the prophet Jeremiah, where the Ein Prat spring, the biblical Little Euphrates, flows, the monastery of Chariton the Confessor is located, as if glued to the rocks.

Today is the monastery's patronal feast.

Chariton was the first monk to settle in these deserted places at the beginning of the 4th century AD. He is the founding father of the famous Pharan Lavra and the teacher of the monks of the desert of the holy city of Jerusalem. The history of this monastery, which spans almost 1,700 years, is full of ups and downs in monastic life, but to this day there is a Christian presence here in the form of a small hermitage of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. Two festive liturgies were served simultaneously in the cave of Chariton the Confessor and in the new small church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Despite the martial law, many Orthodox Christians from different parts of the Holy Land came here to pray. The service was led by the head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission in Jerusalem, the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad - Archimandrite Roman (Krasovsky).

We congratulate everyone on the patronal feast of St. Chariton the Confessor and send greetings from the Holy Land!!!

For the Jewish Rosh Hashanah - New Year - it is customary to give sweet gifts - one of the symbols of abundance and goodness. Everyone is wished a good and sweet New Year. On this counter, which is just being filled with goods, but which will be empty by the time you watch this video, they offer gifts with wine, honey, and candies. The arrival of the year 5785 from the creation of Adam begins to be celebrated on October 2. Jews believe that on this day the Almighty judges the whole world, and on this day the fate of everyone for the coming year is decided. That is why Rosh Hashanah is more disturbing than a joyful holiday. It is a time of reflection, repentance and correction. The past year has been a year of trials for Israel. How we want all the nations of the world to live comfortably, in peace and harmony. And this is our wish. Shana tova u metuka. Happy and sweet New Year.

Dear friends, we are again in the Judean Desert and every year, traditionally, I talk about the flowering of amazing irises.

The scientific name of these flowers is Iris Atrafusca. Today we see a huge strawberry of Atrafusca irises. And these are actually dark brown irises. And now a real pilgrimage of local residents comes directly to this strawberry.

It seems to me that there are even more and more flowers and their beauty remains unchanged. We told you that there was a fire in the desert recently. Laura and I were afraid that everything would burn out. But no, look, it seems to me that they have become even richer. They began to produce more flowers and there are several of these strawberries, and now families with children come. A huge greeting to everyone from the Judean Desert and the Holy Land of Israel
