The Jerusalem light rail spans the city, connecting history, conflict, people and differing narratives. It is a wonderful way to learn about the many facets of this city. We begin on Mount Herzl, the fist stop. We will visit the national cemetery and gain an understanding of the history of Israel. We continue on the light rail, pointing out the sites on the way, exiting at the the colorful Machane Yehuda market which we will tour and sample the street food. We continue on the rail, stopping at the center of town, Jaffa Street and King George Avenue, to get a sense of this historical and bustling area. We continue to the Damascus Gate Station, to visit both a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox neighborhood and the neighboring hub of the Arab section of the city at the Damascus Gate and Salah a Din Street. Here we will get a deep sense of the complexities of this multicultural city. We continue to the Arab and Jewish northern neighborhoods, asking the question: What unites us? What divides us?

I have been on a number of on-line tours of the Holy Land. Mainly my guide has been Amit. I have learnt so much over the last year. I have "been" all around Jerusalem, to the Sea of Galilee, Masada and many more places in the Holy Land. Amit's knowledge is wide spread and his presentation is friendly. Amit always has scripture - from both Old and New testaments on the places visited. It was a joy to be in some of these places without being pushed by a great crowd of other people. Look at the presentations he is planning - especially around Easter as I am sure you will find them uplifting at this time when we cannot visit the Holy Land.

A very worthwhile tour to do if staying in Tel Aviv. It takes just over half an hour, on a very funky double decker train, to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and then a couple of minutes walk to meet your Guide. Our Guide, Baruch, was great and was only too happy to make sure we got the most from our tour and that we enjoyed it despite the dismal weather we had (drizzly rain and temperature of 3c). Would definitely recommend, even for the non-religious (like myself).
