Introducing unique places in ISRAEL and overseas

Neve Shalom is an Arab-Jewish Village in the center of Israel that not too many people know about. This dome where we filmed this video is for meditation and contemplation of peace. This song is an ancient melody that is typical to the Middle-Eastern music. Enjoy!!
This is another hidden gem. It's located in Modi'in area on "Tirorah" Hill, where the Maccabees, a jewish rebellious group that took control of Judea and fought the Greeks between 167-37 B.C where known to gather, live and hide, in the caves. There are some wine presses and oil presses. The Maccabees were heroic people and I love hearing their story of the miracle of the cruse of oil for Hanukah. read more here
The song is a well known Israeli/Jewish song about a hero named Bar-Kochva. The Dead-Sea is the lowest place on earth. The water is so salty it has almost no life in them, no fish, only bacteria. When I visit the Dead-Sea there is a special quiet and also a little dread, reminding me of the story of "Sodom and Gomorrah", oh how I wish our world has learned its lesson from that time and that city.
Genesis 19:28 "And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain, and beheld, and, lo, the smoke of the country went up as the smoke of a furnace." |

In contrast to the sunny and hot desert area, the hills of the Galilee region are chill and green most of the year. The #1 Christian attraction is The Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on the water, and where he found his first followers, who were simple fishermen. If you come today to Tiberias you can still find those fishermen. Some of the attractions in the Galilee area are rivers Kziv, Srach, Betzet and the ancient cities of Acre and Tzfat.

I love the desert, and behind me here you could see the Ramon Carter, it was created (only) 220 million years ago, when the ocean covered the land. It is a home to special mountain goats and there is a beautiful visitors center where I bought my purple hat. At night, there isn't much light pollution and you could see the stars and galaxies pretty clearly.

The Crossing of the Red Sea is a musical peace I composed and played on saxophone with three friends from Poland, you can watch the video and sea the journey of music and the story of the crossing if you don't know it.. It's an heroic story of the Jewish people escaping from slavery by the hand of God and by the strong leadership and faith of Moses. This video was not made in Israel: This is a video I made in Martha's Vineyard, it's an island! in Massachusetts. It was my first time on an island and I had to create a peaceful video with some electronic music. It's good for meditation and relaxation.
This video was not made in Israel: This is a video I made in Salt River Canyon in Arizona!! I slept in my car and gazed at the stars to only wake up early and film this at the canyon!!
This video was not made in Israel: This is a video I made in Texas Park!! I mixed in some electronic music!
