The Wohl Museum in the Old City of Jerusalem
If you want to see how religious leaders lived in Jerusalem during the time when the Messiah was with us, you need to visit the Wohl Museum in the Old City of Jerusalem. The dwellings they have uncovered are impressive—fit for kings, literally. Saying that religious leaders during the Messiah's day lived in the lap of luxury is an understatement. It's no wonder that they were so angry with Him because He threatened their social, economic, and political positions. More than anything else, they wanted to protect their wealth and power. The Messiah knew it, and He told them so. The dwellings in the Wohl Museum were destroyed by the Romans in 70 A.D.—about 40 years after the Messiah told them your house is left to you desolate. (Matthew 23: 38) The Wohl Museum is a site that you need to see to believe.

Liv and Jerusalem
Me and my best friend Liv, went to an exhibition trip in Jerusalem, started with Musrara then the Museum on the Seam and then the Israel Museum. Sadly they didn't allow filming the exhibitions but I hope you will get the atmosphere of this city and the places we visited.
Ein Gedi national park. Guitar Song. Israel Национальный парк Эйн-Геди. Гитара Песня. Израиль
Ein Gedi national park. Guitar Song. Israel Национальный парк Эйн-Геди. Гитара Песня. Израиль Ein Gedi (Hebrew: עֵין גֶּדִי), literally spring of the kid (young goat) is an oasis and a nature reserve in Israel, located west of the Dead Sea, near Masada and the Qumran Caves. Ein Gedi was listed in 2016 as one of the most popular nature sites in the country. En Gedi Nature Reserve – Israel Nature and Parks Authoritya. The spectacular En Gedi Nature Reserve, just west of the Dead Sea shore, is blessed with two year-round streams, the David Stream in the north and the Arugot Stream in the south. The four springs in the reserve, originating in rainfall in the Judean Mountains, have a total flow-rate of some 3 million cubic meters of water per year.
The combination of En Gedi's location and its fresh water sources allow a wide variety of plant and animal species to thrive side by side. Flora include the acacia, the Christ-thorn and the Sodom apple, alongside streambed vegetation like giant reed and cattail, while the cliff walls are home to various types of moss and ferns, like maidenhair. Among the mammals in En Gedi are herds of ibex and groups of hyrax, which visitors can meet close at hand. Nocturnal animals include foxes, wolves, hyenas, and even the occasional spotted leopard.
Many remnants of human settlement have been found in the reserve, including a temple going back to the Chalcolithic period (5,000 years before the present). A Jewish settlement existed at En Gedi for more than 1,200 years, beginning in the seventh century BCE. In the third century, they build a synagogue whose beautiful mosaic floor is a highlight of the visit to En Gedi. The remains of components of ancient irrigation systems show how the inhabitants used the fresh water to irrigate their cultivated terraces. Ancient En Gedi was famous for its dates and for balsam, a plant from which a costly perfume was produced.
The reserve offers a number of trails, from easy ones to those for experienced hikers. Trails in the En Gedi Stream:
The lower David Stream (easy): The trail passes waterfalls and pools, and leads up to the beautiful David Waterfall. Along the way are trees typical to the reserve, among them acacias, Christ-thorn and Egyptian balsam.
The Upper David Trail (for experienced hikers): The trail begins at the David Stream and continues up the slope to the Shulamit Spring, the karstic Dodim Cave at the top of the David Waterfall, and the En Gedi Spring. The trail also takes in the Chalcolithic temple and other antiquities.
The Tsafit trail to the dry Window Waterfall and canyon, the En Gedi Spring and the lower David Stream (for experienced hikers): This trail follows the seam between the arid part of the reserve and the oasis. It begins at the En Gedi Field Study Center and continues along the northern bank of the David Stream, descends to the dry Window Waterfall, framing a wonderful view of the David Stream, the Dead Sea and the Mountains of Moab, and finally crosses to the southern bank of the stream to the En Gedi Spring, ending at the lower En Gedi Stream.
The walk to the Arugot Stream, one of the largest in the Judean Desert, crosses an untamed landscape with year-round flowing water. The trail leads to the Hidden Waterfall and back, or to the upper pools and back.
Three trails in the reserve are for very experienced hikers. They ascend to the desert plateau, with spectacular views of the Dead Sea, the desert to the west and the Mountains of Moab to the east. The En Gedi Ascent (HaTsits Ascent) and the Isi’im Ascent are actually ancient trails:
Ascent from the Field School to Mount Yishai: A hike through the desert plateau to the En Gedi lookout, and via the En Gedi Ascent to the lower David Stream, ending in the David Stream reserve.
Ascent from Tel Goren to the En Gedi Spring: From the spring, the trail continues up the En Gedi Ascent to the lookout at the top. It continues along the desert plateau to the top of the Bne HaMoshavim Ascent and back down to the Arugot Stream, ending at the cashier's booth of the Arugot Stream reserve.
From Kibbutz En Gedi to the desert plateau via the Tsruya Ascent: A hike from the desert plateau to the top of the Isi’im Ascent and back down to the Arugot Stream, ending at the cashier’s booth of the Arugot Stream reserve.Эйн-Геди (ивр. עֵין גֶּדִי — «источник козленка»; в Септ. Ἐνγαδδί, в славянской Библии — Ен-Геди, Енгедди, Енгадди, Ингадди[1]) — библейский город и место сражений, ныне заповедник и национальный парк в Израиле. Находится в Иудейской пустыне, на холме Тель-Горен, в непосредственной близости от ущелья Нахаль-Давид. В 1953 году здесь был основан кибуц, названный в честь ущелья, а в настоящее время здесь ведутся обширные археологические работы.
Упоминается в Библии как город в Иудейской пустыне (Нав. 15:62; Иез. 47:10); первоначальное название местности было Хацецон-Тамар (слав. Хацацон-Фамор; חצצון תמר

Mitzpeh Ilan: Building a Young Community on the Seam Line
On Israel’s eastern seam line a group of young families is in the process of founding the community of Mitzpeh Ilan, which is named after Israel’s first astronaut, Ilan Ramon. The community espouses Zionism, settlement and patriotic values, combined with a concern for the environment. KKL-JNF has enlisted to help the families establish their new community and has prepared the ground for the construction of 111 permanent homes and a security road.
Exhibition showcases Palestinian embroidery
(20 Jun 2016) LEAD IN:
An exhibition showcasing Palestinian embroidery is underway in Beirut.
Held at a satellite venue in Beirut, instead of in the West Bank - where it opened last month -, At the Seams is actually the first exhibition for the West Bank's Palestinian Museum.
STORY-LINE:
The intricate details of an embroidered dress.
These clothes are on show at the At the Seams: a Political History of Palestinian Embroidery exhibition.
It's the first exhibition held by the Palestinian Museum, but is being hosted in Beirut instead of the museum's home of Birzeit.
The displays immerse visitors into a world of art and fabric.
Palestinian embroidery is extremely rich in this sense. It has a language arguably, a vocabulary, dialects of its own, says curator Rachel Dedman.
Because despite being not a huge territory, Palestine had extraordinary multifaceted modes of making embroidery. So the work from Dimona is different from the work from Bethlehem, is different from the kinds of motifs that were practised in Jerusalem, she explains.
More than 50 dresses make up the exhibition, most from Widad Kawar and Malak al-Husseini Abdulrahim collections.
Dedman has visited locations in the Palestinian territories as well as camps in Jordan and Lebanon for her research.
She's collected video interviews, photographs, posters and painting to include in the exhibition.
And she says embroidery reflects the people's history.
It has played a role in the Palestinian resistance movement of the 1970s or during the first intifada when women would embroider these explicitly nationalistic motifs onto their dresses and wear them in the frontline of protest, Dedman says.
Dresses from the time of the intifada of the late 80s and early 90s show Palestinians flags or maps.
More than 450,000 Palestinians live in Lebanon within 12 camps registered with the United Nations.
And Dar El-Nimer for Arts and Culture, which is hosting the event, hopes it will challenge perceptions of this community.
Palestinians are not only refugees but they have a history and they have a background and they have...they had a country full of heritage and beautiful culture, says Rasha Salah, executive manager of Dar el Nimer.
Children from the country's largest Palestinian refugee camp have come to see the exhibits.
Eighteen boys and girls from Ain al-Hilweh on the outskirts of Sidon take part in workshops which introduce them to the art of embroidery.
Twelve-year-old Mariam Awad says she learned how to embroider, how to create a pattern out of squares.
And Elissar Awad, aged 13, says this visit has convinced her that sewing is not a boring thing.
The workshop organisers believe activities like this help to connect the children with their history.
It's important for them to be reintroduced to this because this is a part of their heritage that still exists but in a different way, says Christina Skaf, co-founder of studio Kawakeb which designed the workshop.
At the Seams runs until 30 July.
The Palestinian Museum opened in the West Bank last month but does not currently have any exhibits at the site.
The location of the next satellite exhibition has not yet been decided.
