During the month of Elul, we invite you to join special ‘Slichot’ tours in the City of David National Park.
Option 1: A Nighttime performance combining tours and ‘piyyutim’
The nighttime experience begins with ‘Slichot piyyutim’ in the King’s Garden in the City of David, followed by “Hallelujah, Fire and Water” – a stunning nighttime performance presented against the backdrop of the ancient ruins of the City of David.
After the performance, we will continue on a fascinating evening tour that opens a gateway to Jerusalem under Herod’s rule, and the Second Temple.
We will walk beneath the main street of the ancient city, where a hidden underground passage once served as a hiding place for the last rebels on the eve of the destruction of the Temple. The route concludes at the foundation wall of the Western Wall, below ground level, providing an opportunity to view the famous site from a perspective you have not yet encountered.
Meeting Point: The Visitors Center, City of David National Park.
