Israel in Color with Dr. David Gurevich

01/02/2025

Last week I had the pleasure to guide tourists from abroad! We explored the Old City of Jerusalem, visited the Western Wall and the Holy Sepulchre, and finally ate lunch in a famous restaurant by MasterChef winner. The sites are not crowded, so it is the best time to visit Israel!

🌸 Shabbat Vibes in Tel Aviv 🌸

Every Friday, Tel Aviv comes alive with the beautiful tradition of buying flowers for Shabbat. 🌿🌺 Whether at bustling markets or local flower stands, you’ll spot Israelis selecting colorful bouquets, bringing a touch of nature and serenity into their homes as the weekend begins.

Shabbat is not just a time of rest—it's a celebration of beauty and connection. 🌼✨ So next time you walk down the street on a Friday, take in the sweet scent of fresh blooms and the vibrant spirit of the city preparing for a peaceful Shabbat.

Shabbat Shalom!

Tourist are starting to come back to Israel. Last week, I had a wonderful tour with visitors from the UK to Herodium.

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. 🇮🇱 🇬🇧
