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.

The Lions' Gate (Hebrew: שער האריות Sha'ar ha-Arayot, Arabic: باب الأسباط, also St. Stephen's Gate or Sheep Gate) is located in the Old City Walls of Jerusalem, Israel and is one of seven open Gates in Jerusalem's Old City Walls.
Located in the Eastern Wall, the entrance marks the beginning of the traditional Christian observance of the last walk of Jesus from prison to crucifixion, the Via Dolorosa. Near the gate’s crest are four figures of leopards, often mistaken for lions, two on the left and two on the right. They were placed there by Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to celebrate the Ottoman defeat of the Mamluks in 1517. Legend has it that Suleiman's predecessor Selim I dreamed of lions that were going to eat him because of his plans to level the city. He was spared only after promising to protect the city by building a wall around it. This led to the lion becoming the heraldic symbol of Jerusalem.[2] However, Jerusalem already had been, from Biblical times, the capital of the Kingdom of Judah, whose emblem was a lion (Genesis 49:9).[3]
In another version,[citation needed] Suleiman taxed Jerusalem's residents with heavy taxes which they could not afford to pay. That night Suleiman had a dream of two lions coming to devour him. When he woke up, he asked his dream solvers what his dream meant. A wise respected man came forward and asked Suleiman what was on his mind before drifting to sleep. Suleiman responded that he was thinking about how to punish all the men who didn't pay his taxes. The wise man responded that since Suleiman thought badly about the holy city, God was angry. To atone, Suleiman built the Lions' Gate to protect Jerusalem from invaders.
Israeli paratroops from the 55th Paratroop Brigade came through this gate during the Six-Day War of 1967 and unfurled the Israeli flag above the Temple Mount.
Historian Moshe Sharon notes the similarity of the sculpted lions to similar pairs at Jisr Jindas and Qasr al-Basha in Gaza. All represent the same Sultan: Baybars. Sharon estimates that they all date to approximately 1273 C.E.[4]

JERUSALEM: ST STAPHENS GATE: MIDDAY PRAYERS PREVENTED
Natural Sound
At least two Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police at St Stephen's Gate (also known as Lion's Gate) on Friday.
Israeli police clubbed angry worshippers as they tried to enter the Old City to attend midday prayers at the Al Aqsa mosque in the Haram al-Sharif (also known as Temple Mount) compound.
Police were turning back Muslim men under age 45 based on the thinking that they would be the most likely age group to take part in rioting.
A group of Palestinian faithful gathered at Majlis Gate in the Old City for their prayers because they were prevented from entering Haram al-Sharif by Israeli police.
The Haram al-Sharif site has been a flashpoint for recent clashes.
It was a visit to the Al-Aqsa mosque compound by right-wing Israeli leader Ariel Sharon which provoked the latest upsurge of the conflict.
The clashes which followed Friday prayers two weeks ago brought the first deaths.

Clashes nears Lion's Gate in Jerusalem
(20 Jul 2017) Palestinian protesters clashed with Israeli security forces in Jerusalem's Old City after thousands of Muslim worshippers gathered around a contested holy site for evening prayers.
An Israel Police spokesperson said Palestinians threw rocks and glass bottles at officers following prayers on Thursday.
Police responded with tear gas and said none were hurt, but the Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated 22 people.
The skirmishes come ahead of Friday prayers, when tens of thousands of Muslim worshippers visit the site, known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and Jews as the Temple Mount.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly meeting with ministers to discuss removing metal detectors from the site that enraged Palestinians.
They were installed on Sunday after Arab Israeli gunmen and Israeli police were killed in a shootout there.

Pool of Bethesda - Tour Israel
The Pool of Bethesda is a pool of water in the Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem, on the path of the Beth Zeta Valley. The fifth chapter of the Gospel of John describes such a pool in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. It is associated with healing.
In the 19th century, archaeologists discovered the remains of a pool fitting the description in John’s Gospel.
