Where the Jordan River enters the Dead Sea - Monasteries, Zionism & War (RARE FOOTAGE)

In this video I’m going to show you some places in Israel that you’ll never have seen before. There is a lot to talk about in this area and I will be focusing on three topics: the monasteries you can find here, the Zionist settlements in the area, and the border between Jordan and Israel.

All of Oren's videos turn out to be fascinating and fun to watch (especially with an upcoming first trip to Israel in sight) but this one, in particular, was really worth watching. Oren turns out to be terrifically charming and likeable and knowlegeable and generous with his knowledge! Todah rabah, Oren

[brewcityrckr]

Thank you for your honesty, Oren. I've watched many videos in preparation for our upcoming trip to Israel and find yours to be the most enjoyable. I enjoy hearing your perspective and your love for Israel is obvious in the time and care you've spent in making these videos.

Apart from really great storytelling and showing us sites, I like your honest and stark, yet gentle, attitude about the hard topics. You're an inspiration. From a Pole living in Jerusalem and a tour guide myself.

Definitely one of the best current channels.

Thanks.

I am Jordanian, I love Israel, I visit Israel all the time for Pascha. Thank you for showing all the beautiful monasteries.

Oren you are an amazing tour guide! You show us the good, the bad and the ugly!😂 I appreciate the respect you show to all religious groups and that you share the truth. Very refreshing in today's world. Looking forward to more! Bless you always.

[craigcorkill]

Love it how you take us to some of the most 'off-the-beaten-track', yet amazing, places in Israel. Thanks so much Oren

[craigmargerybertram]

I’m glad that you will continue making these videos even though tourism has restarted! Valuable and engaging information not found easily anywhere else. Thank you Oren!

Greetings from Australia. Thank you so much for your consistent effort to show the world places we shall never see any other way. Very much appreciated.
God bless! 🌹

I just wanted to say that it's much more interesting watching the videos with your ongoing commentary than just excerpts of scenery with music.

You are amazing, simple and profound teaching at the same time, natural, God bless you greatly. From Sao Paulo, Brazil

A protestant Christian from south east Asia. Hope to visit Israel one day, love your tag along vlog which is fascinating. Thanks for the great content

[joesilver]

Excellent, excellent; especially the commentary at the end. You are absolutely right. Here is a novel case where governments want peace but the people (of Jordan) do not. It says alot about the culture of Islamo-fascism.

[moogiemom]

Outstanding, please continue doing these types of videos. Your honesty and informative aspects of history are truly to be treasured .

[mkennedy]

Thanks for your clarification about the hate issue. It seems in the west many people refuse to accept any negatives about any Arabs or Arab countries.

[stlev]

I really like the combination of tourism with intelligent narration about the realities of Israel. Thx Oren

[theoldieprojects]

Oren, something we love about your videos is that you want to show the TRUTH - reality in Israel. As you said, Truth is more important than tourism blogs. We'd love to travel with you, if we ever get to return to Israel (we are unvaccinated Australians, we may make it into Israel, but at this time, we would not be allowed to return to our own country). THANK YOU for all your videos - so important for us. Shabbat Shalom!

[quaver]

This is a beautiful film. Thank you. I am Jewish, and would love to visit and see those monasteries. I love the way you are proud and happy to show them. Will watch this video many times. Such beauty! Thank you, kind Oren. 🇮🇱🇮🇱 ✡️

Thanks for sharing, I’m amazed by the beauty of your country. Most of all your comments are welcome! I anticipate seeing more like this.
