@@aneesachaudhury3360 you know there is a whole section in the old city called the Muslim quarter. Muslim do live in and around Jerusalem, so it can't be because you are Muslim.
So glad you guys enjoyed Jerusalem.. And you put in great representation. Only one correction - the Western wall is not the holiest place for us Jews, mount temple is. The only reason we consider the Western wall holy is because it is our only remnant from the temple, but the place of the temple is the holiest. Plus the holiest place for Islam is not mount temple, but Mecca.
Thank you for this video. The holiest place for Jews is not the western wall but the temple mount itself, where the first and second tempels used to stand and where the dome of the rock stands today.
@@gevamaor4908 no it’s not. As David correctly stated, our holiest site continues to be on the Temple Mount and the only significance of the Western Wall is it’s proximity to what is behind it!
@@gevamaor4908 David was right, the Temple Mount is the holiest site for Jews, but the Muslims have been taking over it a few years ago and ever since Jews can't go up there anymore. The tension might spark another war, and it has happened before.
@@thehilaryglow it was abandoned and restored by the muslims 100s of years ago. Now eastern europeans think they have a right to build their third temple because one of their grandfathers was circumsized.
I just adore y'all so much! It's so incredibly amazing that you take the time to do research and find out about the history of the country, and y'all also do it with respect and understanding. It is rare to see people who are respectful and full of desire to learn. Wishing you lots and lots of happiness and blessings. love from Israel!
Wonderful video! I also feel I know what Oskar meant - although I’m not religious either, but exploring Jerusalem gave me goosebumps and all the feels having grown up with Christianity and its stories. I fell in love with the place - I mean probably also mostly due to being a huge history buff and this small area of land holding so much fascinating, multicultural history. I just hope for eventual lasting peace for Israel, Palestine and the region overall, as it’s such a beautiful place containing so much to be treasured for humanity. 🤞🏻
Small correction - The Western Wall is not the holiest site for Jews, the Temple Mount is ( right above the Western Wall where the Dome of the Rock was later built ). The Western Wall, called 'The Western Wall' simply because it is the Western Wall of the ancient Temple Mount complex, is simply the holiest place which Jews are allowed ( Both for religious and political reasons ) to be in proximity to. But the actual holiest spot would be smack dab in the middle of the Dome of the Rock, where the Ark of the Convenant was supposed to be housed in the Holy of the Holies during First Temple era.
Thank you for showing our beautiful Jerusalem , it’s the best, isn’t it? 💙 you are welcome back anytime 💙 and thank you for not politicising it… too many people try to politicise Israel and Jerusalem in their TH-cam vlogs and they literally have no idea about anything. Just enjoy the people, food, culture and the magnificent sites and beaches ❤️❤️ people don’t see enough of this side of it
Awesome video guys! Love that you folks saw that the old city isn't really divided into 4 start "quarters". You will see Yeshivas, Churches, Synagogues, Mosques etc. along all the different quarters. It's a lot more intertwined than people think. One correction, however: the Kotel (Western Wall) is not quite the holiest site for Jews. The Temple Mount (where the gold dome of the rock sits) is actually the holiest site for Jews as that is the place where both Jewish Temples once stood (and where the Holy of the Holies is). That said, since Jews are not allowed up on Temple Mount, the Wall is considered to be the holiest site Jews can and do pray at due to its proximity to Temple Mount. Also interesting tidbit: the climb you did towards the end brought you to the Mount of Olives. This site hosts a Jewish cemetery which has been in use for over 3000 years and is the oldest and largest Jewish cemetery in the world. It is the holiest Jewish cemetery and many important Jewish historical figures are buried there.
Lovely video. One correction to Alex G's correction: Jews are allowed on the Temple Mount, but only for limited hours on certain days, exactly like any other non-Muslim. Additionally, no non-Muslim person is allowed to pray on the Temple Mount, only Muslims. This is a political compromise reached in 1967 between Moshe Dayan (then Israeli Minister of Defense) and Jordanian authorities. I myself have been there with my wife during tourist visiting hours. Peace to all.
@@maxperkoff9811 Yes, though we don't really say Jews are "allowed on Temple Mount" when they are only allowed under certain tight restrictions and are not allowed to pray.
I can say from experience when I went in June. Jews were the only group surrounded by soldiers. The gentiles could go up by themselves and had less restrictions on where they could go.
Thanks for another great episode! Dan, you should get your Mom back on the show to give us “seniors” a person of reference (just a suggestion). Jerusalem was great. It’s on our bucket list.
As an American, I don't think I'd admit to eating American fast food when roaming the streets of foreign countries. Maybe I'd cheat and not tell anyone. 😅 Hopefully you were able to try some upscale restaurants - I've heard there are some very creative chefs and innovate cuisine in Tel Aviv.
I have never been to Jerusalem before. Thank you for sharing another great video about Jerusalem. It's very interesting too. Loved you guys. Thank you. 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
i am a fan of you both for around 2 years. i think as an israeli that this is one of your best work!!! honest, smart and informative video. well done boys!! i was smileying all the video that did Jersualem justice! well done boys! beautiful energy and honest video.
Jerusalem is near the top of my bucket list of places to visit! I've wanted to see the Holy Sepulcher in person for so long so it was nice to get a little snippet of it in your vlog here. All of the different corners look so interesting and there's so much to learn! That pomegranate/orange juice had me drooling haha It looked delicious, especially on a hot day! Looking forward to seeing the dead sea in the next vlog! Travel safe, friends!
What an amazing video. So well edited, and great music choice. It was interesting from the first frame to the last. You did a brilliant job here; I am looking forward to see your next outing in Israel. It's so interesting, and wow doesn't the FOOD looks great (p.s. been vegan for 11 years now....). Yum. Tak!
Really nice to see you here. It`s important to say that the western wall is not the holiest place for Jewish people. It Is actually the Temple Mount. The western wall got its status as a holy place, because it's one of four retaining walls of the temple mount, the closest to the temple's heart.
Thanks Oskar and Dan. You really made Jerusalem come alive so much. It's really like nothing I have ever seen before. It looks so hilly. Good exercise for you both I think. I think I would have been in tears at Yad Vashem. Looking forward to seeing you both at the Dead Sea too.
Another nice video. The past two videos about Israel & Palestine have been very informative. Btw, I always enjoy seeing Dan’s facial expressions when trying food & drinks from different countries. It’s also cool that you guys have friends in many different countries to help you navigate the vegan food scene. See you around the world.
Unfortunately I have never been but it’s on my bucket list! Such beautiful and interesting city I thought it was a pity you didn’t stay a little longer, nonetheless I’ve really enjoyed this vlog! I really need to visit it and get my head around this city! It really fascinates me✨ You killed me with Papa Jones🤪🤣 I’ve never been either(not on my bucket list🫢) Have fun Sabrina🇫🇷🇬🇧
Just love your passion for vegan food 💗 Your passion for hummus from heaven and I always get so hungry when I see the plates you get. There is a Dutch word; Moek Hebben! To have, I want, I need (my precious)
What a beautiful and moving video. John and I had the same overwhelming response to the Holy sights. Isnt it extraordinary that this lush and verdant place is actually a desert!? Another miracle.
"hopefully we'll be in Armenia in a few months". I live here! Would love to show you around when you decide to come visit, you'll love it. Reach out and I'll gladly help out :)
if you want vegan you NEED to go to tel aviv ,which is the most vegan city on earth ! plus super cool city on its own i was surprised youre not going there
This is an exceptionally good video full of useful information. You played the theme to Bridgerton early in the video - I expected you both to trot on stage in giant powdered wigs and voluptuous brocade dresses, speaking upper-crust English, declaring, "We shall be wed this season, Lady Whistledown." (Both fan yourselves to chill the excitement).
Sorry to nitpick, but the western wall is not the holiest site for Jews, it’s the closest most of us can get the the holiest site, were Bite Hamikdash was built and believed that there it will be built again.
Hi Guys. I always enjoy your videos and I'm so pleased you are in Israel. I have been to Jerusalem many times and it never ceases to amaze. Its a wonderful city and Israel in general is a wonderful country with great food and great acceptance of gay people. Its also quite fast forward and technically quite exceptional. I hope you enjoy your trip.
Ha! That drag race clip caught me off guard but was literally perfect. I'll be traveling to Israel soon! really enjoyed your video. Cant wait for falafel and shwarma.
Oh wow!! I'm so happy to see a video from you guys in Israel!! Best country for vegans, btw you passed close to an amazing vegan restaurant in the mahane Yehuda 😆 I'm not vegan and I simply love that place!! Hope you enjoy everything in this beautiful country that now is my home! 🥰❤️
Quick correction. The western wall is the closest Jews can pray to their holiest site in the world, but the holiest site in the world for the Jews is actually the Temple Mount, where the dome of the rock and Al aqsa are located. Jews can visit there during specific times, but they are not allowed to pray there as set by the Jordanians rules. So Jews settle for praying at the wall instead of praying at their 1st holiest site in the world, while Muslims are the only people allowed to pray at their 3rd holiest site in the world
the western wall is NOT the holiest site in judaism, the holiest is the site of the temble and tho temple mount/ dome of the rock, because jews were not allowed up there and the religious laws for going up are not so clear we resorted to the closest place we could get, the western wall. thanks for visiting!
Correction: western/wailing wall isn't exactly the holiest site to Jewish people, the temple mount is (where el Aqsa was built as well). Due to many violent events (in fault of both muslim and Jewish sides, I believe), access to the holiest place is unbelievably limited for Jews and any Jewish religious act/objects are strictly prohibited... you might understand by now by yourselves that the more violent side is the winner here...
*4:38** Jew here, the holiest Jewish site is The Temple Mount the western wall is just the nearest point to the holiest of sites for us which is essentially where the Dome of the Rock sits.*
So easy being vegan in Israel! That falafel looked so good!!! 😁🤤 I’m so glad you went to Yad Vashem. I didn’t expect that! Great video and can’t wait to see what you get up to at the Dead Sea 🧂 😜
To be fair, food is so integral to the culture, if you weren't eating all around the world, I'd be less invested! I get so many ads for Jerusalem and it seems to be marketing itself as an open and diverse place. Love the channel and thanks for taking the time out of your adventures to show us your perspectives.
I really enjoyed the video. Especially from the way you reviewed the main sites that Jerusalem has to offer. Of course, it was just a drop from the sea :) Thank you!
Hey :) I live in Jerusalem, and also lived in Tel Aviv. I know both cities pretty well. If you want some recommendations, let me know! Enjoy your time in Israel, welcome 🙂
6:20 Ironically this "visit Palestine" poster was created by Jewish graphic artist Franz Krausz in 1936 to encourage Jews to visit and immigrate back into the Land of Israel.
Thanks for taking us on your travels! :) Such a very historical place to travel too, and I specially loved the PapaJohns segment... now I'm hungry for pizza.. thanks guys! :P
I liked the video very much! Next time, if you happen to visit Tel Aviv, I'll be happy to show you guys around. It is my home city. I'm a polyglot and I know a bit of Swedish as well. Take care :)
I from Israel and it was so much fun to watch yours journey in Israel , Jerusalem is amazing and interesting city can't wait to see the rest of yours trip, next time you can come to north is also beautiful here 😊🇮🇱
I would like to make a correction- the western wall isn’t the holiest site for us, the Jews. The holiest site is the Temple Mount , where the first and second temple once stood. Throughout the past two thousand years, for different reasons, Jews couldn’t go to the Temple Mount and pray (some religious and also because Jew were forbidden by the different authorities). The closest place to the holiest place they could enter, was the western wall, which is a wall that was built during the time of the second temple to support the Temple Mount. It’s very holy, but never the holiest.
Great video!! I did all the TH-cam-y things! (As EDB SAYS! 😆) Re-watch the food stuff--SUPER Yum!! I am going to check out Papa John's (before Passover), if it is still there! Thanks for the great tip! Off to finish packing...!
Fantastic video,,content has all the best location and information about the place and food,,,,sunset ,vegan food all adds up to the charisma of the wonderful holyland
Hey Oskar And Dan! Quick question, would you consider Transnistria as a Country that you could visit and count on your list of 100 countries? Transnistria is not recognised by any international body, however their football team did beat Real Madrid once.
Guys there are synagogues all over. I'm from Uruguay (the Latam country you skipped twice LoL) and we have like 4 or 5 in the main city and some in the countryside, in a tiny country with 3M ppl and 20K jewish. Unless you were talking about a synagogue that looks like an 'old temple' instead of a modern building... idk 😎
THANK YOU GUYS FOR WATCHING❤ Have you been to Jerusalem?
Yes, I have
Many times
Yes. Twice accually. Love Israel.
No because I’m Muslim 🥺

Thank you for this video. The holiest place for Jews is not the western wall but the temple mount itself, where the first and second tempels used to stand and where the dome of the rock stands today.

Like your videos and the way you are really trying to understand the situation in israel without any preconceptions. Love from israel
That Papa John's pizza looked incredible! Usually, places skimp out on the vegan cheese.

Hey Oskar And Dan! Quick question, would you consider Transnistria as a Country that you could visit and count on your list of 100 countries? Transnistria is not recognised by any international body, however their football team did beat Real Madrid once.
It is not part of the 197, so no :)
Guys there are synagogues all over. I'm from Uruguay (the Latam country you skipped twice LoL) and we have like 4 or 5 in the main city and some in the countryside, in a tiny country with 3M ppl and 20K jewish. Unless you were talking about a synagogue that looks like an 'old temple' instead of a modern building... idk 😎
20k jewish isnt that much i live in cape town its the same jewish 20k but its only a city not a country
