Deep beneath the streets of Jerusalem's Old City lies a hidden world of wonder and mystery: the Western Wall Tunnels. These underground passageways stretch for almost half a kilometer alongside the Western Wall, one of the most sacred sites in Judaism. Here, history and archaeology intertwine to reveal the secrets of the past, spanning thousands of years.

From the impressive Herodian-era Wilson's Arch to the remnants of ancient dwellings, the Western Wall Tunnels are a treasure trove of discovery and wonder. For Jews, it is a place of pilgrimage and prayer, where the echoes of the past reverberate through the ages.

Join us on a journey through time as we uncover the hidden secrets of the Western Wall Tunnels!

    This is the best representation of the history of what happened with the temple Thank you so much. God and peace be with you. πŸ™β€οΈπŸ’ͺ

    Wow, thank you! As a Christian this is so special to me. I will never be able to see Jerusalem in person in this life, so this was beyond amazing. Of all the channels I watch on the history and archology of Israel this is by far the best I have seen. I love Biblical Archology and am always almost giddy when something from the Old Testament period is proven. I never doubt what the Bible says and when proof is found I always do a "told you so" smile. God Bless and Shalom.

    In the last year, I have had a tour of Israel planned (and paid for) 3x and subsequently canceled 3x. The first time I became ill. The 2nd was because my luggage was stolen in Barcelona as we were headed for our flight to Israel, which created complications to moving ahead. And, the third time we were to be there was the week after 10.7. I really appreciated this tour as I won't be planning another trip. As the tour guide said, below every difficult, sad thing lies something good (providential). Peace and safety to Israel. Christians around the world love and support you ❀

    This gentleman is one of the finest guides I have ever seen in Israel. I wish after wish that I could see Israel but I am too old and terrified of Flying. I will enjoy it through watching your videos. Shalom my friend,

    The guide is amazing! He is enthused by his transmission of the history to visitors.

    Thank you for giving us a wonderful vision of how Israel has recreated its Jewish past. I never got to see these scenes when I visited Israel 30 years ago, but I did look down into the areas where scholars worked and prayed. Now I see why the Islamists don't want more digging--they know the world will see how deeply embedded Judaism is in the very soil and stone of the Temple Mount. When I wrote a novel called "The Wind is the Breath of God," my love letter to Israel, I imagined some of what you showed us today, but could never have imagined the breathtaking beauty of this holy place. Although not born a Jew, I somehow feel that I now share in the "Gift of the Jews," awareness that God is One and that finally God's children have come home. God bless Israel!
  • My only visit to Isreal was July 1985. They were just beginning to excate the Southern Steps. What an amazing amount of work has been done in 38 years. Baruch Ha Shem!
  • Since October 7 I have been reading the bible and also educating myself about our religious histories. Thank you for this video
