Take a Virtual Tour with JNF Israel

In this exciting virtual tour, the Jewish National Fund (JNF) Israel takes you through a side of Israel you’ve never seen before. A licensed tour guide leads this tour through biblical and modern locations in Israel, along with more off-the-beaten-path ones, too.

You can even see inside places like the Al-Asqua Mosque, which is typically only reserved for people of the Muslim faith.

This virtual tour takes place live on Zoom, so you can ask your tour guide questions as you go along. For a nominal registration fee, you’ll gain access to one hour of touring Monday through Thursday, plus one hour for a social dinner and cocktail hour.

City of David in Jerusalem

The story of the City of David began over 3,000 years ago, when King David left the city of Hebron for a small hilltop city known as Jerusalem, establishing it as the unified capital of the tribes of Israel. Years later, David’s son, King Solomon, built the First Temple next to the City of David on top of Mount Moriah, the site of the binding of Isaac, and with it, this hilltop became one of the most important sites in the world.
Today, the story of the City of David continues. Deep underground, the City of David is revealing some of the most exciting archeological finds of the ancient world. While above ground, the city is a vibrant center of activity with a visitor’s center that welcomes visitors for an exciting tour to the site where much of the Bible was written.

National Library in Jerusalem

Nearly every Jew, near and far, in this and previous generations, sits down to the Seder table and reads the Passover Haggadah. The Passover Haggadah is perhaps the most read text in the history of the Jewish people and the Jewish text of which more editions than any other have been printed. ​We have prepared a special 360° video of our unique illustrated handwritten Haggadah collection, and it is only a click away.
Just as the digital age did not do away with printing, the print revolution did not bring an end to the tradition of writing by hand. Even in the last century, long after print had become the most widespread means of disseminating texts, the Haggadah continued to be copied and written by hand. Before that, in the eighteenth century, printed works inspired illuminators and scribes to create magnificent manuscripts based on Hebrew typography and on illuminations from the European Christian world that entered through the gates of print.
The exhibition is a collection of Passover Haggadot written, illuminated and illustrated by hand from the twelfth through the twentieth century. The National Library of Israel holds Haggadot from Persia and Babylon, Europe and Africa, each telling the stories of Jewish communities distinct in their languages and writing styles, in their philosophies and the wide range of reasons that led their scribes to take up the pen – as they remained faithful to the ancient, familiar and beloved text.

Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem: A Moving Remembrance to the Holocaust

Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, is the largest Holocaust memorial in Israel. Built on the slopes of the Mount of Remembrance, the museum serves to remember the lives of victims during one of the most devastating periods of history. A visit to the 45-acre campus is an important part of understanding the Holocaust and its lasting impact on history.

First opened in 2005, Yad Vashem features nine galleries filled with photographs, films, documents, artifacts, and art from the time of the Holocaust. On your visit, you can see exhibits including a copy of Schindler’s List and the Auschwitz Album, watch survivor testimonies, and view the memorials in the Hall of Names, a space containing over three million names of Holocaust victims. The Holocaust History Museum, designed by notable architect Moshe Safdie, features a prism-like triangular structure that cuts through the Jerusalem hillside. 

Yad Layeled is the children’s memorial at the museum that honors the one and a half million Jewish children who died in the Holocaust. Lit by a single memorial candle, the candle is multiplied into infinite reflections by reflective glass panels and mirrors that line every interior surface. Visitors walk through the passageway of reflecting candlelight, each signifying a life lost. 

Although visiting Yad Vashem can be emotionally intense, the importance of remembering the devastation of the Holocaust is crucial and deeply moving. Entrance to Yad Vashem is free, although registration in advance is required.
