Israel in Color with Dr. David Gurevich

27/10/2024

During the Sukkot holidays, I organized a few advanced excursions for my Israeli audience (in Hebrew).

In Caesarea, we followed the story of Herod's magnificent building project and the daily life in the capital of the Roman province.

In Jerusalem, we explored the archaeology of the Temple Mount.

Finally, in Herodium we played the "Game of Thrones" by investigating conspiracies in Herod's court.

Here are a few photos. Hopefully, soon we will get back to travel to this places also with visitors from abroad. 😎

A few days ago I guided a tour following the story of the Great Revolt. We met in Jerusalem and embarked on a journey with the book of Josephus. We discussed where were the positions of the romans and the rebels. We read the speech of Titus when he negotiated with Jews. Finally we attempted to answer the question of how the temple was destroyed and why. It was an excursion with much food for thought after!

Even in the darkest of night's embrace,
A little star will light your space.
Finding yourself on the way back home
It's darkest before the dawn, you're not alone.

Since the beginning of the war, I have been volunteering in various works that can help Israelis. I am delivering food to soldiers and clothes to the evacuated families. I have been selling produce from the farms of bombarded areas. I played with kids who survived the terrible day of 7 October. A few days ago, our volunteering facility received a new volunteer: the former UK Prime Minister, Boris Johnson . Thank you for supporting Israel in these difficult times. 🇮🇱 🇬🇧

I receive so much support and messages from people who toured wuth me. Thank you, friends. I wish to say that I & my family are safe, thanks God. The situation is difficult. Every day we hear more details about the terrible massacre commited by Hamas. Every day - more names are added to the lists, and I just pray that I would not recognize any of these names.

We will defeat this darkness. As President Joe Biden recalled hearing from Golda Meir: "We have a secret weapon here in Israel. We have no place else to go."

Thanks for your heatwarming messages and calls. It really means a lot! 💜
