A Rainbow of Light from Denmark to Jerusalem

One of the summer highlights in Israel is the Jerusalem Light Festival. This year the Old City of Jerusalem was lit up with a variety of displays from the 15th to 22nd of June.  To direct the flow of visitors there were "light routes"--each one marked by a different colour. Inside and out, the old city was transformed into a fantasy of delight. 

David went to the old city to meet Zohar Gev, an internationally known artist who now resides in Denmark. He applied and won the bid to put his Rainbow of Lights display on the outer wall of the Old City.

Jerusalem in Spring

There are times when just being in Jerusalem are beyond words. During the "Spring" of the year as the breezes blow the clouds across the sky it is easy to feel the beauty and peace that is Jerusalem. In this clip David walked the top of the ramparts around the Old City of Jerusalem, capturing the sky, the ancient stones and the amazing views of Jerusalem itself--a blend of the ancient and the future. 

The music is by an Israeli group called Eden Mi Quedem, a Jerusalem based group that uses a blend of Hebrew, Arabic and English to produce a sound that is the Israel we know and love. 

There is no text or voice-over for this clip, so sit back, put your feet up, listen and enjoy the view...

JNF Part 5 of 5: The Huleh Valley

The Huleh Valley is and agricultural area in Northern area with abundant fresh water. Is serves as a bottleneck stopover for more than one billion birds as they migrate annually from Europe to Africa and back. Over four hundred species of birds must cross this tiny strip of land. As anyone who has lived on a farm knows--this is hard on crops. Israel has resolved this problem by establishing a "restaurant" for these birds. Every day they feed them with about two tons of corn seed! Amazing!
