Fun day Tour in the Jerusalem/Beit Shemesh Area

Ammunition Hill- This was one of the most important battle sites in the 1967 six day war. Capturing this hill allowed the Jewish people to liberate Jerusalem. See a unique sound and light show. Experience what it was like to be a soldier. The children and adults will love crawling through the real army trenches of the Jordanian army and taking pictures with a real tank from the war.
 

Temple Mount Sifting project- In 1999, the ancient treasures of the Temple Mount were loaded into trucks and dumped in the Kidron Valley by the Arabs (the same valley which Tanach tells us Hashem will judge the nations who oppressed the Jewish People). Sift through the rubble and if we are lucky, we may find treasure.
 

Kever Shimon HaTzadik for Mincha- The burial place of the last member of the Anshei Knesset Hagedolah (Men of the Great Assembly).
 

​Tel Azekah - See the place where Dovid HaMelech (King David) and Goliath had their fateful encounter. Crawl  underground through the secret. For more on this site, check out this article I wrote: David and Goliath Battle Site
