My Personal Story about the Jaffa Gate in Jerusalem:
The Jaffa Gate has become the main entrance gate for most tourists coming to the Holy City. In an old video that I uploaded to my YouTube channel (please subscribe to it), you can see a selection of old photos that give the gate its personal story. I invite you to watch and, most importantly, comment on the video. Have an amazing day!

As I stand before the ancient fortress of Masada, the grandeur of Herod's vision envelops me. This is no ordinary place; it's a testament to the brilliance and madness of a king who built a sanctuary for himself and his kin. Here, amidst the arid cliffs and desolate landscapes, I feel the echoes of a genius mind tinged with the insanity of absolute power.
Masada is more than a historical site—it's a portal through time. In my mind's eye, I see Herod's engineers toiling under the scorching sun, their efforts crafting a palace that would defy the ages. The walls whisper tales of luxury and paranoia, of a ruler's need to protect and impress.
Yet, as I walk these ancient grounds, another story unfolds—a darker, more desperate chapter. The year is 70 CE, and the Romans are closing in, their siege engines poised to crush the last bastion of Jewish resistance. The Temple in Jerusalem lies in ruins, its sacred stones scattered by the relentless might of Rome. The air is thick with tension and the haunting resolve of those who chose death over surrender.
Visiting Masada is not just a journey through history; it's an immersion into the human spirit's extremes of ingenuity and resilience. This site, perched high above the Judean desert, is a symbol of both the heights of human ambition and the depths of our struggle. Missing a visit to this monumental fortress is to miss an encounter with the very essence of our shared past, where every stone and every whisper tells a story of defiance and survival.

One of the most magical places I visited in Mount Carmel and Haifa (Israel) is the Bahai Center, representing the youngest religion in the world. I went there with a friend who was between jobs, and to my delight, he has since found a job at an advertising agency. Unfortunately, due to the war, I am currently out of work, and the beautiful gardens of the Bahai Center are in danger of being destroyed by conflict with Lebanon. I pray that a quick solution will be found so this world heritage site will not be harmed.

In the vicinity of Nazareth, I discovered a truly enchanting forest. As I stood there, I wondered if Jesus might have walked in this very place, especially since this is where He spent His childhood. In this moment of reflection, I ask you to join me in praying for the peace of Israel. Let us also pray that such acts of violence and harm never befall any leader who desires real peace.
I would love to hear your thoughts and reflections on this.

Due to the ongoing war, I haven't been able to work since October 7th. Despite these challenging times, friends from Israel and abroad have ensured that I could celebrate at a wonderful restaurant in Tel Aviv. I am filled with joy and excitement. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hold on to the hope that the 120 abducted people will return from Gaza, so we can all celebrate together.
Who is buried next to Jesus?
