The Times Of Yisrael - Episode 1: Yisrael's Best Friend....
THE TIMES OF YISRAEL
A new web series from the mind of comedian Yisrael Campbell.
EPISODE 1: YISRAEL'S BEST FRIEND...
Yisrael has made a big decision. It doesn't stop him from eating as he hilariously rants to Gary about saving the symbol that establishes his dedication to Judaism - well, that and his three circumcisions.
Yisrael was born Italian-Irish-Catholic in Philadelphia, but is now a practicing Orthodox Jew based in Jerusalem - and you aren't going to find any other comedian with that world view. He's performed his critically acclaimed, hilarious, and touching autobiographical one-man show, Circumcise Me, off-broadway in New York City as well as all over the world. THE TIMES OF YISRAEL web series features what Yisrael does best - finding the funny about life and Judaism.
The web series is directed by Yisrael's collaborator, Gary Rudoren, who is an alumni of Chicago's Annoyance Theater and NYC's Magnet Theater where he has written and directed many solo shows over the last 20 years.
Beth-Shean (Beit Shean, Bet She'an) & Mt. Gilboa: King Saul's Downfall, Roman Decapolis City, Israel
Beth-Shean and Mt. Gilboa are biblical sites where many amazing things took place in the Bible.
Location
1. Beth-Shean, also known as Beit Shean or Bet She’an, was a major biblical and secular city for thousands of years.
2. It’s located in the center of several main crossroads between the Jordan Valley and the Jezreel (Yizreel) Valley.
3. It’s about 15 miles (25 km.) south of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee and about 35 miles (55 km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.
4. It’s located on the Harod Stream which provides it with much water. This Harod Stream is the same stream that originates at Harod Spring, just west of here about 15 miles and is where Gideon chose 300 men under God’s command to defeat the Midianites and other armies.
5. The main entrance faced the east, as did most other major cities and structures in ancient times. In fact, the word orientation comes from the word “orient,” which means east. Because creation, the beginning civilizations, and the sun rose from the east, to be oriented was to position yourself focused on the east. Today, maps use the north for orientation, but in ancient days, maps used the east for orientation purposes.
Historical Background
1. Beth-Shean was a key city long before the arrival of the Israelites because of its location. In the late Canaanite period (1600–1400 BC) the Egyptians ruled the area and the entire land of Israel.
2. Later, around 1000 BC, the Philistines also ruled the city for a time because they hung the body of King Saul on its walls after defeating the armies of Israel in the Battle of Gilboa.
3. When King David reigned (1008–970 BC), he conquered Beth-Shean, and it became part of Israel’s territories.
4. Later, in 732 BC, the Assyrian king, Tiglath-Pileser III, destroyed Beth-Shean after defeating the northern Kingdom of Israel.
5. In the 4th century BC, Hellenistic (Greek) new settlers established a city-state (polis) in Beth-Shean. During the Hellenistic period, the city was named Nisa Scythopolis.
6. In 63 BC, the city was conquered by the Romans and became one of the cities of the Decapolis – a group of cities with a Hellenistic-Roman cultural character, most of them in Transjordan. Beth-Shean was one of the key cities of the Roman Empire in this area south of Galilee.
7. Beth-Shean was not far from Nazareth, and it’s very likely Jesus worked here with His father as a builder.
8. Undoubtedly Christ ministered here and walked by it on a regular basis.
9. Beth-Shean was destroyed in 749 AD due to an enormous earthquake.
10. The biblical tel of Beth-Shean has around 20 layers of civilizations that have been discovered.

Israeli Wine #5 Tzuba On Location
MyIsraelWineTours.com presents a web series devoted to the best of Israeli Wine. This week I interviewed Paul Dubb, winemaker at Tzuba Winery about his inspiration, vision and enjoyed a wine tasting.
Jerusalem to Beit Shemesh via Beitar Ilit and the Gush
We picked up Leah at Malcha Mall in Jerusalem and decided it was easier to drive home to Beit Shemesh via Beitar Ilit and the Gush instead of going back through the city and via Highway one. Even though Miriam took these photos from the back seat of our speeding Hyundai through the glass they are stunning. We didn't know the way, so we followed the Ilit bus through Gilo to Beitar through the tunnels south of Jerusalem until the main roadblock (border crossing?). The contrast between the breathtaking scenery, barbed wire, quaint arab villages and the gorgeous sunset is haunting.

My name is Zahi Shaked
In 2000 I became a registered liscenced tourist guide.
My dedication in life is to pass on the ancient history of the Holy Land.
Following upon many years of travel around the world, which was highlighted by a very exciting emotional and soul-searching meeting with the Dalai Lama, I realized that I had a mission. To pass on the the history of the Holy Land, its religions, and in particular, the birth and development of Christianity.
In order to fulfill this calling in the best way possible, I studied in depth, visited, and personally experienced each and every important site of the ancient Christians. I studied for and received my first bachelors degree in the ancient history of the Holy Land, and am presently completing my studies for my second degree.(Masters)
Parralel to my studies, and in order to earn a living, I was employed for many years in advertising. What I learned there was how to attract the publics attention, generate and, increase interest, and assimilate information. All this I use as tools to describe, explain and deepen the interest in the sites that we visit. From my experience, I have learned that in this way, the Holy Land becomes more than just history, and that the large stones that we see scattered about in dissaray, join together one by one until they become - a Byzantine Church. This also happens when I lead a group of Pilgrims in the Steps of Jesus. We climb to the peak of Mount Precipice, glide over the land to the Sea of Galilee, land on the water and see the miracle which enfolds before us. This is a many faceted experience. Not only history which you will remember and cherish, but an experience which I hope will be inplanted in your hearts and minds, and will accompany you all the days of your life.
Bethlehem Overview: Naomi, Ruth, David, Christ's Birth, Church of Nativity, the Herodian, Israel
See all the places in Bethlehem, and close-by, about Rachel's Tomb, Naomi, Ruth, King David, Christ's Birth, the angels appearing to the shepherds announcing Christ's Birth, the Herodian Fortress, the Church of the Nativity, Shepherd's Fields, where King Herod killed the Children two years old and younger.
Location
1. Bethlehem is located 6 miles (9 km.) south of Jerusalem.
2. In Bible times, Bethlehem was a farming area with grain fields, and sheep and goats grazed the hillsides. Amazingly, little has changed over the past 3,000 years.
3. It’s on the edge of the Judean Desert that lies to the southeast.
4. Bethlehem is in the West Bank but is very safe. Thousands visit its Christian sites each month with no issues.
Historical Background
1. Bethlehem was a Canaanite village before the conquest of the Israelites in around 1406 BC.
2. It means ‘House of Bread.” Maybe this is so because many wheat and barley fields were in this area.

Christian Persecution, Filmed at Beth Shean Amphitheater, Israel! History of Christian Persecution
See a powerful message from the Hippodrome in Beth Shean, Israel, about the persecution and suffering of Christians. Prepare yourself for persecution because the day is coming when suffering and persecution will arise.
Location
1. Beth-Shean, also known as Beit Shean or Bet She’an, was a major biblical and secular city for thousands of years.
2. It’s located in the center of several main crossroads between the Jordan Valley and the Jezreel (Yizreel) Valley.
3. It’s about 15 miles (25 Km.) south of the southern tip of the Sea of Galilee and about 35 miles (55 Km.) east of the Mediterranean Sea.
4. The amphitheater/hippodrome in Bet-Shean was used by the Romans for pleasure events, games with animals, and gladiator type activities.
5. This arena seems to have served as both an amphitheater and hippodrome as it has openings into the arena from under the grandstands. It was common in Greek and Roman times that a city would have one stadium that could be used for both purposes because of financial and real estate reasons.
6. An amphitheater is different from a theater. An amphitheater has a full circle of seating wherein a theater just has a semi-circle of seating.
7. The amphitheater/hippodrome was also used to persecute Christians during the early church period and later.
8. This amphitheater/hippodrome has underground rooms where wild beasts were released to devour people and other animals.
9. On many occasions, they were released in a game-like event where believers who refused to deny Christ were torn to pieces and eaten alive while the crowd roared in a frenzy.
10. It’s sobering and gives a person chills to just think about it!
Historical Background
1. Beth-Shean was a key city long before the arrival of the Israelites because of its location. In the late Canaanite period (1600–1400 BC) the Egyptians ruled the area and the entire land of Israel.
2. Later, around 1000 BC, the Philistines also ruled the city for a time as they hung the body of King Saul on its walls after defeating the armies of Israel in the Battle of Gilboa.

Places of Interest (Please See Maps Above)
1. The Arena: Comes from the word “sand.” It’s where the activities were carried out and was in the center.
2. Grandstands where the people were seated. The stadium’s many seats have crumbled over the years, but it’s estimated the seating capacity would have been between 10,000-20,000 people.
3. Entrance openings into the arena from under the grandstands.
4. Rooms under the grandstands where the animals and people would wait before being released into the area.

The Miraculous Exodus Route, Red Sea Crossing, & Mt. Sinai! A Biblical View and New Discoveries!
The miraculous exodus route the Israelites took from Egypt, the location of the Red Sea Crossing, and the location of Mt. Sinai. This video uses the Bible, along with new evidence and discoveries, to bring this foundational biblical event to life. The miracles surrounding this story, and the new discoveries that have been found in the last 50 years, reveal that the Exodus, Red Sea Crossing, and Mt. Sinai are much greater than most think. See this video to get the most accurate, and biblical analysis of these events. See places like Succoth, Elam, Wilderness of Sin, Nuweiba Port, Marah, Elim, Caves of Jethro, Rephidim, Altar of Jehovah Nissi, Altar of Moses, Altar of Aaron, Elijah's Cave, Mount Jebel al Lawz, and more.
Location
1. For many years it was believed that the Israelites crossed the Suez finger of the Red Sea just southeast of what is now Cairo, Egypt. However, there are no deep bodies of water in these areas but just shallow marshes and lakes. For this reason, the biblical account of this astounding miracle has been attempted to be discredited or erased altogether by liberal scholars.
2. Many recent archeologists and scholars now believe the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Aqaba finger of the Red Sea and that Mount Sinai is in Midian, which is part of modern-day Saudi Arabia.
Historical Background
1. God called Abraham and promised him He would make a great nation out of his offspring. Abraham obeyed and left everything to follow God.
2. Abraham birthed Isaac, who birthed Jacob, who birthed 12 sons. God changed Jacob’s name to Israel.
3. Jacob and his 12 sons moved to Egypt according to God’s sovereign plan (about 70–75 total people).
4. The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt (30 years as free people under Joseph, and 400 years as slaves). During this time, they grew into a nation of around 2.5 to 3 million people.
5. God performed a miraculous deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt by performing 10 amazing miracles.
6. The last miracle, known as the Passover, happened when God killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians who did not put the blood of a lamb over the doorposts of their homes.
