Jerusalem LIVE: The Jewish Quarter of the Old City @ Zoom program
Dec 13 @ 12:30 pm – 2:00 pm

Reconnect to Jerusalem with a Live, Interactive Tour of the Old City’s Jewish Quarter.

Experience a brand-new way to visit Israel: a fascinating hour-long video tour with master guide Yoni Zierler. Blending history, storytelling, and trivia, Yoni will help bring extra light to our Chanukah celebration.

Explore the deep and rich Jewish connection to Jerusalem as you hear the stories and see the sights of those who called Jerusalem their homes many centuries ago. Then, take that memorable walk down the stairs to overlook the Temple Mount and the Western Wall Plaza. The tour culminates at the Western Wall itself, where we insert your notes into the cracks of the ancient stones
