Hello everyone,
welcome to the channel of Israel Mega
Do you know where I am now?
This
is the entrance to the Jaffa Gate that I often introduce to you.
This
is the Tower of David.
Pilgrims
in the Byzantine period
thought this was a palace related to David,
so they gave it the name Tower of David.
But later they discovered that it was actually related to Herod
but not to David
. David's real palace was
a little bit to the south
. This This
is the entrance to the Jaffa Gate.
We are going to enter the Old City of Jerusalem
again from here .
The main task today
is to take my mother
to see the Herod...
Hey,
the Herodian period is the Second Temple period,
the high priest's home during the Jesus period,
the rich man's home.
The high priest's home is equivalent to seeing
the underground mansion 2000 years ago
. Then let's go.
Basically,
I think tourists will take a bus
or light rail and stand in front.
Just walk through it like this. Come,
but if you rent a car
for some reason,
there are two parking lots here.
The one
behind
is the Mamilla parking lot, which
cheaper
.
The green one near here is P,
which
is
the
Karta
parking
lot .
This is the most convenient gate,
and
there are many stop signs nearby
. The other gates may actually
appear in the film,
such as the Damascus Gate
, and
then there is the Zion Gate,
which occasionally appears in the film.
The rest are relatively rare
because there is another gate like the Golden Gate,
which is also sealed
and people cannot walk through
it. Herod's Gate rarely appears
, but
it seems to have almost never appeared
in my videos. Haha
, this is the old entrance to the Tower of David
now. Only the light show will go to this entrance.
Well, the entrance
has been changed to the Jaffa Gate just now.
If you often watch the Israeli-American movies,
you should know that the Old City of Jerusalem is divided into four quarters
So which four districts are they?
The Armenian quarter
the Christian quarter
the Muslim quarter
, and the Jewish quarter
Now we
are in the Armenian District.
Enter through the Jaffa Gate
. Then you turn right
and this is the Armenian District.
Like this sign,
this is the Armenian District. The characteristic of the Armenian district
that you
can't see anything
but walls.
Why is it like this?
Because Armenian Christians have been persecuted a lot
, so they also have to protect themselves.
here, they live
behind the city
wall.
It's not the city
wall . The city wall is in that place,
but behind the wall.
There is a monastery here,
and if you can enter
the residents' houses,
you will find that there is a different world
in front of it.
There is a church
and a museum next to it
, so it
is very important
to have a practical travel reference book.
Here
you can see a map of the Old City of Jerusalem.
The four major districts
are here
. My yellow sign
refers to the location of Jerusalem during the time of Jesus.
OK, so we are now in the Armenian District.
The attractions in Armenia
are the churches I just mentioned
and the
newly opened
Armenian Museum. Go over there and look
like this . I
mentioned the four major districts
in the book,
but they are not marked on this map.
In many places in Jerusalem,
you will see
a map of
the four major districts like this
, but it does not mark the four major districts here
. I think it is good for everyone to have a concept,
because in fact, in the old city,
he did not
clearly say that
you are welcome to the Armenian district,
welcome to the Christian district,
and welcome to the Muslim district.
There is nothing
like Christ. The church is the Christian church,
which is also
in the Armenian district.
The Austrian pilgrimage hotel I introduced to you last time
is in the Muslim district.
In fact, it is not so strictly divided.
There are no police or anything
, and you have to see your ID
before you can go to that district.
There is no
separation like that,
but there is a concept.
Like we are still in the Armenian district,
but there is a
school for studying the Bible and Torah
in front of it , so it is Jewish
in the Armenian district.
Basically, it is in this book. The scenic spots I selected
are all carefully selected
based on my personal interest in the Bible.
I judge which scenic spots
are important to Christians and pilgrims
and then include them in this book.
Because the number of pages in a book is limited, it is
impossible to fit everything in
, so the selected scenic spots
are all very important.
We will all visit a lot of scenic spots
and then judge which ones are
really must-visit.
Like now,
let's take a look at the
Old Jerusalem in the Armenian Quarter. Yishuv
is a
museum that
should show everyone
how Jews lived in the 18th century
. If it is good,
it may be included in this book
in the future. When the Jews came to Jerusalem,
there were many
drainage problems in the old city that were not solved
, so it was easy to get sick in the old city.
But the Jews did not dare to live outside the city walls
because in the past
the city walls would be closed
, so there was no need to worry
about Bedouin bandits
or doing harm to them
. So the Jews He said that the living conditions and
sanitation conditions
in the old city were very bad.
They still had to live in the old city.
The conditions in the old city in the 19th century were very bad.
He wrote here that
the mortality rate of infants under one year old
was as high as 80%
because of the poor medical conditions and sanitation conditions.
Why? Why did the Jews come to live in the Old City at that time?
It is written here
that in 1840,
there were only about 13,000 people living in
the Old City, of which about 5,500 were Jews,
almost half.
Because at that time, the Jews also began to believe
that they came to the Old City of Jerusalem.
It is a good thing
to read the Torah here
and speed up the return of the Messiah
. In fact,
Jerusalem has always been the holy land of the Jews
. However, during the Ottoman period,
they were almost not allowed to come back,
so only a few could come back . So why
was the population of Jerusalem only 13,000
at that time,
instead of Cairo in Egypt
, Baghdad in Iraq
, or Damascus in Syria, which had more people
? This is because
Jerusalem is actually not very
important to Muslims. It is an
important religious city in history.
Even now,
because they want this land with the Jews
, they say it is the third holiest place for Muslims.
But in fact, if you look at history,
they don’t care about Jerusalem that much.
This is why the situation in Jerusalem is so bad.
In the 19th century, you can see that the infant mortality rate was as high as 80%.
He wrote here about
why they don’t have much furniture.
The main reason is that
Jews
can only rent houses with Muslim landlords.
And the landlords
will reload every year. New tenants are looking for tenants
to see who can pay them more money
, so almost every year they have to move
and for convenience
, there will be very little furniture.
Well
, wait a minute,
I really want to take my mother to see
the underground mansion where the Jews lived 2000 years ago.
It's just very interesting
because it was said before that
they left this land
and of course they wanted to come back
. In the 19th century,
most of
the Jews in the old city were very poor
and devout.
Most of these people were Sephardic Jews
. They can speak Arabic,
but the living conditions are still the same. How bad are
they?
Mainly because of the sanitary conditions
, and then there are Bedouin bandits.
Bedouin bandits are not just targeting Jews
, they are targeting all pagans,
including Christians.
So you
can feel the danger at that time
in all the pilgrims' travel notes.
This area of the museum
is actually very small
, just a few spaces.
In this space, he is especially talking about
mothers who gave birth, and
how they lived. Because I am also a mother,
haha
, I found this very interesting.
The Jews at that time were very poor
, so they all lay on the ground together on mattresses
without beds.
This bed was made to make the mother happy,
so the husband rented
it specially. Because it was very popular,
a very fashionable thing from Europe
. People usually slept on the floor,
so they could only rent it for 40 days at most
. I found it very interesting
because our confinement period was 30 days,
so he rented it for 40 days at most.
That was in
the 19th century. Of course, the conditions
in Jerusalem
were much different
from those in modern Jerusalem. It was not easy to survive at that time
, so the goal of people is to be able to survive
and be blessed by gods. There are many traditions
in this room
about protecting babies
from the evil eye
because it is influenced by Muslims.
For example,
there is a painted eye in this suitcase,
which means
to use the evil eye to fight the evil eye.
Hahaha. And
what about the baby's cradle?
You may not be able to see clearly,
but There is one hanging thing,
the one called Hamsa
, which is like a hand to resist the evil eye
, and
there is a scripture on the side of his bed that is
also resisting the evil eye
. The other two
hangings are also about resisting the evil eye,
they really hope to live well
. The other two interesting things
are the clog-like thing
, because the street outside is very dirty
, so they just want to have a height
so that they will not step on the soil
that may have a lot of feces
and a lot of dirt on the road. Like this
, the other one
is because they all share the toilet
, and the toilet is full
before they go to empty it.
In the middle of the night, you don't want to go to the toilet
because it is scary,
so there is a urinal.
That is the urinal
, and this is the yard shared with the neighbors.
This is a very realistic way of washing clothes,
fetching water, rubbing
and drying. It is very realistic.
Go into the next room.
The room just now
is a record of
the situation of the Jews during
the Ottoman Turkish period. Kenny, Christ, he served
The Church did
a lot of help to the Jews during that period,
including the establishment of the first hospital in the old city,
which is mentioned in my travel book.
Then there was the first school for Jewish girls
and the school for Jewish boys,
all of which were the ministry of the Church of Christ.
They did this almost 200 years ago.
The hospital and school have now been transformed.
The school is now
in another place.
This place
was from 1917 to 1919.
The life of a
Jewish family during the British Mandate in 1948
was different. The difference
was that they had some modern things,
including a radio here
or a hot water kettle where you could put a charcoal fire
and guests could drink.
There was a typewriter here and
a record player over there.
But it was very interesting.
Somewhere there was something written by a rabbi
saying that you cannot use a record player.
This is a bad thing.
And there is that over there at the back. Singer's sewing machine.
Girls
will use sewing machines as their dowries
in the hope of attracting a good husband.
Well,
next to Kenny is a wardrobe.
Here is a cabinet.
Look at the high-end things in the cabinet.
Beautiful porcelain.
My mother said that she had seen this when she was a child.
Then the Singer sewing machine
was stamped with
the same
foot. Hahaha,
I am quite good at repairing this.
Let's go to the next room
, this room. What
he wants to present
should be a synagogue of Sephardic Jews.
This
is the Torah cabinet.
Usually the Torah scrolls are placed in the Torah cabinet.
Inside the Torah scrolls, the
is the Bible verses.
This is only the shell.
The Sephardic Jews
use hard-shell Torah scriptures
. Ashkenazi Jews use soft cloth.
There are many hard-shell
Torah scrolls.
These cloths
are called Challah. Cover
is the cloth used to cover Sabbath bread.
Jews pay great attention to the Sabbath.
There is a saying that
it is not the Jews who keep the Sabbath,
but the Jews who keep the Sabbath,
because the weekly Sabbath
is a tradition
that allows the Jews to constantly remind themselves
of their covenant with the God who keeps the covenant.
They are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Why are they Jews? They
review it like this every week,
and there will be P every week. arasha
means
a fixed weekly Bible reading schedule
. This is the same for Jews all over the world
. So they observe the Sabbath every week and
the whole family gathers together
to read and
discuss the Bible.
This is why
the Jews can return to this land
after 2,000 years of wandering
and have not forgotten their God
. Of course, God has not forgotten them
either. So it’s a very beautiful story.
Here
are some things about Jewish life.
Let’s look at Sabbath bread
. It has different meanings
, and there are different Jewish groups.
Like this one, it is
like a bird
, hoping to reach the sky when praying.
Then there
are some groups
who will put a key in it on
the first Sabbath
after Passover . Bread or
key-shaped bread
means that hope is to open the granary in heaven
. Some Jewish people
will eat this
crown-shaped
Sabbath bread at weddings.
And this
is a Sabbath bread commemorating the twelve tribes,
so there are 12 circles.
What do you think of the museum just now?
The full score is 10 points
6 I think it's
6 points, it's enough for everyone without watching the movie.
I think it's too little.
It's a souvenir
because it's not comprehensive and complete,
but it's also understandable
because it's related to the cost
. So it depends on
how passionate
you are about cultural and historical inheritance.
Then you can decide
whether to have this itinerary and its effect.
If you only have four days in Jerusalem. I
don’t need to spend this time
in this place.
There are many more important attractions
. Then here
is the Jewish Quarter after
Cardo Commercial Avenue .
Today the weather is very good
and there are three people here asking for money.
One behind me is holding a photo of a child.
Then I pass by on the left
holding an offering box.
Then there is a man wearing a prayer
in front of me. I've seen Uncle Turban
many times,
and he just gives you a prayer
, and he can give you a blessing
.
Because in the Jewish culture,
begging is not a shameful profession.
The beggar thinks that
he can get 1/10 from you
because you should leave
the corner of food in your field to the poor.
You should give 1/10
to me. This is my right
because I am a poor person
and you are a rich person.
You have an obligation to "do righteousness" and
you have an obligation to give to the poor.
I think he is giving you a platform
to become a righteous person.
So in fact, he is giving you a benefit
so their beggars won’t feel
as if it’s a shame to ask for money.
and a humble thing.
One of the identities of the public.
And the Jews are also
because they have to give
. So once I also I saw that even if the Jews give to
the Arabs, there will be
cute children in front of them,
so cute
.
And the Jewish concept of the poor
is relative. It
means that if I am a poor person today,
and I get something from the rich,
and then there is another poor person next to me,
he does not have
that, because I already have bread
in my hand from the rich.
I became a relatively rich person
, so I also had to share with the poor people who didn't have any
. Now I have an obligation.
That's because of this concept.
When the Israelis returned to
the land of Palestine and Israel,
they didn't just rely on donations from rich people
to buy land.
There were many ordinary people like them
because they We all have this concept of "giving".
No matter how much money you have or how little
you have, as long as you have something,
you must give part of it.
And on the Sabbath,
they will train children
to put the money into their offering box.
Then they all know that
when they put the money into the offering box,
the money does not belong to them. This is
me in the Jewish Quarter.
I think it's a pretty good coffee shop
, but
it's so small. After someone buys coffee,
we drink coffee
and then go to the underground mansion.
It's also a culture of "giving" to the Jews.
They give free Shabbat dinners
or scholarships
so that Jews can return to Israel to study
and collect points. It's
beautiful and exquisite .
Is it delicious?
The smell of cinnamon is very strong,
haha.
Okay, now we are going to see the high priest's house.
If my mother thinks this attraction is OK
, it may
appear in the travel guide book in the future.
We
will go down later because the underground mansion is the same as it was 2000 years ago.
The ground level has to go down. After reading
this,
you have to tell me if you think it is worth
it. Is it more than 6 points?
Yes, if you
don't have a tour guide. It’s 34 yuan
and then there’s a guided tour which is 40 yuan.
Wow,
the underground mansion.
Wow,
we are now in the uptown area,
which was the area of the rich at that time.
Welcome to the home of a very, very rich person.
How do we know they are rich?
Mosaic floor.
There are three mosaic floors here.
In addition to the mosaic floor, which means they are rich,
there is also this thing,
the baptism pool.
Do you know? What is a baptism pool?
A baptism pool.
He will wash
his feet here
before entering the baptism pool.
There are three baptism pools here,
which means that this family is very rich.
There is a baptism pool
because there is a staircase
, and then this one
is a well
and a cistern.
Let’s go down now
and go to the next house.
It’s really very rich
. The murals represent really rich people.
Look
, there is a baptismal pool
right under my feet.
This is a garden
, and these pillars
and this
marble floor
were all made by craftsmen brought from Rome.
So the priests at that time really spent a lot of money.
Now we are going down again.
This is the home of the rich family just now.
He has a two-layer mosaic floor.
The new one is more refined.
Then this is another layer of mosaic floor
under the mosaic floor .
The stones are larger
and rougher
. Then this is another area.
How do we know that the previous ceiling was like this?
Because we have found relics.
There is an exhibition in our last area
(this is the ceiling relic).
There are baptism pools
everywhere,
so this floor is also very rich.
Here is another
artistic method of painting walls
called Stucco.
He means you paint things first. Later
, you will have to carve it
and it will look like marble.
This was
set on fire when the Romans came to destroy Jerusalem in
66 AD , and Jerusalem burned for a month
. The remaining ruins are all black.
You can see
that this is a fresco
that was also burned . If the temple was still there
, it
would be visible here.
The tour guide will take us down
to see a baptismal pool that still has water.
Be careful when you come down.
There is really water.
(Tour guide: Can you see the water?)
(The tour guide threw stones to let us see clearly.)
This is very clear. This is spring water.
It is not very clean
because the water does not flow
. Then there is a water cellar
and a
warehouse for storing things.
After we have finished watching the
tour,
it is the largest underground archaeological museum in the world
. In 1967, when
Israel took back Jerusalem
, they began to do these archaeological excavations
and discovered
such large
houses, baptismal pools, etc.
during the Second Temple period
. So they did it because they didn’t want it
, and it seemed that everyone had it. Go to the ruins
and then build museums.
This city is full of museums.
So what they did was to
seal up the underground things first
and then build the Jewish seminary.
After that
, in the past few decades,
they would renovate it all over again. There is an underground museum
and it reopened a while ago.
Well
,
okay. What do you think of
this museum? Haha
, I think it should be 9.5 points.
The full score is 10 points
. Then he
must enter the travel book.
Oh, yes, yes, it
is necessary. Yes, um,
why? I feel like when we are walking in the old city
, I will know
that Jesus and I are not looking at the same world.
Yes,
it is all from later times
. Yes , I am not walking on the same plane as Jesus.
Times are different
, and the ground level is also different.
It is higher now.
So,
the residential complex we visited today
is the one of Jesus. The vision at that time
was not there.
Jesus should not have seen
that these were all rich people.
I mean, it was the kind of people in the world
, the kind of people in the uptown area. It
was the rich people. It
was the social and humanistic culture of that time
. Yes,
so Jesus was
squeezed out
under the social and humanistic culture of that time. He
was squeezed
out by these high-ranking priests and
these rich people. I think this is a very important cultural background because Jesus was not popular at that time
. If you look at how wealthy they are,
and someone comes to subvert their already vested interests
and vested people,
it is understandable
that when they want to protect their existing properties,
they have to stand against Jesus
. Otherwise, they can't hold on to
the great enjoyment they have now.
Well
, then I think Jesus said that it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
I think this is absolutely true.
Today, if we live in such a wealthy place,
there is a carpenter's son,
and then he subverts my doctrine,
subverts my theory,
and subverts my believers below.
I think that at that time,
we should be like those ordinary people who follow Jesus,
people with no money,
such as carpenters,
fishermen, etc.
It is so easy to follow Jesus.
I think it is really a challenge for
rich people
.
I think it is worth it
to experience
the world on the same platform as Jesus
.
And if we just did it One museum costs 20 yuan
, and this one costs 34 yuan.
It’s worth so much,
yes, yes, the amount of what you can see is so
different.
The one that was collected is
completely different from this one, which is right here.
So I recommend it to everyone.
It’s highly
recommended by Meijiao’s mother.
It’s really worth it. It’s really worth it.
Why don’t
you give it 10 points
but give it 9.5 points?
I think. There is still 0.5 points
, but you need to have a very good stomach
, haha
, otherwise
it will be filled with the smell of cat urine
. I think
if you are not very tolerant towards cats,
you may not be able to stand it,
because it is an underground
archaeological museum
. Yes, you can wear a mask,
but by the time everyone comes,
the cat has already He was caught.
Okay
, thank you for watching today's video of the Israeli Beauty Corner.
Behind me
is an old attraction that can be unpacked next time.
It's called the Wide Wall.
We didn't have these things before
. So we want to know what the difference is between when he started charging
and when he didn't charge.
This will be
introduced to everyone in the next video.
Okay everyone, bye. bye
