It takes all of about eight seconds to realize that Tal Chenya is a likable guy. But this unassuming Sephardic Jew is working on a PhD in history! Along the way he enjoys any opportunities to work as a tour guide. As you might guess, tour guides are not very much in demand right now, with Israel closed to tourism from most countries.

Now he is developing videos of some of the sites that he has led tours in the past. As you can see from the photo, he goes the “extra mile” and adds captions of everything that is being said verbally. Here is his first attempt in this new area: an exciting new digital course.

Bible and Archaeology through a Tour of the City of David

Jerusalem is mentioned almost 700 times in the Old Testament, 39 books of Hebrew Scripture  that have shaped civilizations and religions throughout the ages.  This course, and the tour it offers, gives you  the opportunity to experience the biblical story of Jerusalem’s beginnings precisely at the site in which the dramatic events actually took place

To watch an introduction to the course click the video below.
