Gush Etzion is a cluster of Jewish settlements located in the Judaean Mountains, directly south of Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the West Bank. The core group includes four Jewish agricultural villages that were founded in 1940–1947 on property purchased in the 1920s and 1930s, and destroyed by the Arab Legion before the outbreak of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, in the Kfar Etzion massacre. The area was left outside of Israel with the 1949 armistice lines. These settlements were rebuilt after the 1967 Six-Day War, along with new communities that have expanded the area of the Etzion Bloc. As of 2011, Gush Etzion consisted of 22 settlements with a populati...

4. Qumran Caves Dead Sea Region
Qumran is an archaeological site in the West Bank managed by Israel's Qumran National Park. It is located on a dry plateau about 1.5 km from the northwestern shore of the Dead Sea, near the Israeli settlement and kibbutz of Kalya. The Hellenistic period settlement was constructed during the reign of John Hyrcanus or somewhat later, and was occupied most of the time until it was destroyed by the Romans in 68 CE or shortly after. It is best known as the settlement nearest to the Qumran Caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were hidden, caves in the sheer desert cliffs and beneath, in the marl terrace. The principal excavations at Qumran were conducted by Roland de Vaux in the 1950s, though several later unearthings at the site have since been carried out.

Gush Etzion Videos

Drive Through Judaean Desert & Bedouin Camps

Israel Vlog
A bit of the bus ride through the Judaean Desert on Highway 1 from Jerusalem.

Not shown on the video is the tunnel connecting Jerusalem and the checkpoint into the West Bank territories.
Nice city, houses built up etc; tunnel through a mountain... Nothing! Absolutely nothing but empty land dotted with settlements and Bedouin camps which can be seen throughout this video. Truly a sight to see.

Enjoy, comment, question, like, sub if you like what you see and all the rest.

GUIDE21: In the Heart of the Land of the Tanakh. Иудея - юг Хевронского нагорья

И сказал я: Доколе, Господи?
И Он сказал: Доколе не останутся дома без жителей,
И земля не превратится в пустыню...

Исайя, 6

Все произошло в точности, как было обещано. Дословно. Здесь был цветущий центр надела колена Иехуды. Города опустели, земля превратилась в пустыню.

Через тысячи лет пришло время исполнения других пророчеств - о возвращении и радости.

Этот фильм - о том, как исполняются пророчества. Мы увидим то, что осталось от бившей ключом жизни колена Иехуды - увидим обещанные пророком руины - и увидим, как благодаря вере и усилиям людей здесь возрождается Земля из небытия...

Все это можно не только увидеть в кино, но и пощупать, ощутить и пережить. Если хотеть понять про древний и современный Израиль - сюда нельзя не приехать.

Мозаичная менора из Маона, фантастическая синагога когда-то цветущей Сусии, панорама Мертвого моря, откуда Авраам смотрел на обреченный Содом, встреча Давида с Авигаиль ...
