Episode: “A Place of Healing”

From the Dead Sea, Zola tells how these waters are used by many for healing. He interviews the spa manager at a Dead Sea resort hotel before visiting a vegetarian spa hotel located in the beautiful, green landscape of the northern Galilee area.

Series: “This Is Israel”

Tired of waiting 20 years for CNN and the other networks to show Israel as the modern, beautiful country it really is, Zola and his crew decided to do it themselves. Viewers will be as surprised as our pilgrims to see that this much-criticized nation is at least the equal of our own and in some ways superior!

Caption transcript for This Is Israel: “A Place of Healing” (6/12)

00:02 HELLO, I'M ZOLA LEVITT.
00:04 ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO >> OPPOSITE ENDS OF ISRAEL.
00:07 WE'LL START AT THE SOUTH SHORES OF THE DEAD SEA.
00:10 AND LATER ON, WE'LL PROGRESS NORTH
00:12 TO THE GREEN HILLS OF GALILEE.
00:15 AND BOTH PLACES, WE'LL SEE A WONDERFUL KIND OF HEALING
00:19 AVAILABLE IN THE PROMISED LAND.
00:24 [ music playing ]
00:59 SHALOM, HELLO AGAIN.
01:01 WELCOME BACK TO OUR "THIS IS ISRAEL" SERIES.
01:03 WE ARE DOING THIS TO SHOW ISRAEL THE BEAUTIFUL, POSITIVE COUNTRY
01:07 IT REALLY IS AND NOT THE >> ONE PORTRAYED BY THE MEDIA.
01:10 IT'S REALLY A PLACE OF BEAUTY AND A PLACE OF HEALING.
01:14 PEOPLE COME HERE FOR ITS >> REJUVENATING CHARACTERISTICS
01:18 AND THAT'S OUR EMPHASIS ON TODAY'S PROGRAM.
01:21 LATER ON, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE GREEN HILLS OF GALILEE.
01:24 BUT FIRST, WE'LL BE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY.
01:26 LET ME ORIENT YOU A BIT.
01:28 ISRAEL IS, OF COURSE, ON THE MEDITERRANEAN COAST.
01:30 RUNS UP AND DOWN LIKE THIS.
01:32 HERE'S THE SEA OF GALILEE >> AND HERE'S THE DEAD SEA.
01:35 AND THE YELLOW LINES THAT WE'VE DRAWN ARE THE SO-CALLED
01:39 WEST BANK, THAT IS BIBLICAL JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
01:43 AND GAZA WHERE ARAFAT'S GOVERNMENT AND THE PALESTINIANS ARE LOCATED.
01:49 AND ON THIS PROGRAM, WE'LL GO FROM HERE,
01:52 THE SOUTHERN SHORE OF THE DENSITY ALL THE WAY UP TO
01:55 PRACTICALLY THE NORTHERN BORDER, NORTH OF THE SEA OF GALILEE.
01:59 AND WE WILL SEE PEOPLE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SPECIAL HEALING
02:03 AND REJUVENATING FEATURES OF THIS VERY SPECIAL LAND.
02:17 TO MANY PEOPLE, ISRAEL IS A COLUMNS LIKE THESE PILLARS BEHIND ME.
02:21 OLD ROMAN RUINS.
02:23 SIGNS OF GREATER TIMES, BETTER DAYS.
02:25 BUT YOU KNOW, I HAVE GOOD NEWS.
02:27 ISRAEL IS ALSO A PLACE OF GREAT BEAUTY, A PLACE OF HEALING.
02:32 BEHIND ME IS A POOL OF DEAD SEA WATER AND WE ARE
02:36 IN A SPA OF A FINE RESORT HOTEL
02:38 DOWN BY THE DEAD SEA, ON THE SHORE.
02:41 PEOPLE COME HERE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR
02:43 THE BEAUTY AND FOR THE HEALING.
02:45 THIS IS A BIBLICAL BORDER ORIGINALLY.
02:48 LISTEN TO WHAT GOD SAID FROM THE BOOK OF NUMBERS:
03:30 AND THAT IS THE DEAD SEA IN BIBLE LANGUAGE, THE SALT SEA.
03:33 AND INDEED, THIS IS ONE OF THE SALTIEST SEAS ON EARTH
03:36 AND WE ARE AT THE LOWEST POINT ON EARTH.
03:40 ON THE WHOLE WORLD THERE IS NOT A DEEPER VALLEY
03:42 THAN THIS 1300 FOOT RIFT, THAT IS 1300 FEET BELOW SEA LEVEL.
03:48 THE RIFT WAS MADE IN THE LAND EVIDENTLY BY
03:51 AN EARTHQUAKE ABOUT A MILLION YEARS AGO.
03:54 NOW, IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
03:55 WITH A MILLION YEARS IN THE BIBLE,
03:57 THEN YOU NEED TO SEE OUR PROGRAMS WITH DR. GERALD SCHROEDER
04:00 WHO EXPLAINED TO US >>HOW THE SIX DAYS OF CREATION
04:05 AND THE 15 BILLION YEARS >>THE COSMOLOGIST FOUND IN THE
04:07 UNIVERSE WERE >>REALLY THE SAME TIME PERIOD.
04:10 AND A MILLION YEARS AGO TO PROFESSOR SCHROEDER WOULD BE
04:12 WELL IN THE AGE OF MEN ON EARTH AND SO ON
04:15 AND WOULD ALSO BE WITHIN THE SIX DAYS.
04:17 IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT,
04:19 WRITE TO ME AND ASK ME AND I WILL SEND YOU SOME MATERIALS.
04:22 IN ANY CASE, THE VALLEY WAS CAUSED BY AN EARTHQUAKE AND NOW,
04:27 IT HAS COLLECTED A KIND OF A SALTY, SALTY WATER BECAUSE THERE
04:33 IS A DEEP HILL THAT RUNS DOWN HERE FROM GALILEE.
04:36 THE WATER STARTS OUT IN MT. HERMON IN THE >> NORTHERN GALILEE
04:39 ACTUALLY, IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF LEBANON ON A HIGH MOUNTAIN,
04:44 THE SNOW MELTS AND GOES DOWN TO THE SEA OF GALILEE.
04:46 THEN IT GOES DOWN THE JORDAN RIVER,
04:48 ALWAYS FALLING DOWNHILL INTO THIS DEEP VALLEY
04:51 AND WHEN IT GETS >> DOWN AS FAR AS THE DEAD SEA
04:54 AND HAS PICKED UP THE SALT AND THE MINERALS THAT HAS RUN
04:59 THROUGH THE WINDING JORDAN RIVER ALL THE WAY TO THE DEAD SEA
05:02 UNTIL IT GETS TO THE SEA >>AND IN EFFECT, IT DIES.
05:06 NOW, THERE IS A WONDERFUL ANALOGY OF THE LORD'S MINISTRY
05:11 IN THAT VERY IMAGE.
05:12 THE LORD COMES DOWN FROM HEAVEN,
05:14 FROM HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO OUR HOUSE;
05:16 THAT IS THE SNOW >>FALLING ON MT. HERMON,
05:19 AND PURE AND FRESH AND CLEAR.
05:22 AND THE WATER RUNS DOWN THROUGH THE SEA OF GALILEE,
05:24 VERY MUCH ALIVE, FULL OF FISH;
05:26 THAT IS THE >> LORD'S EARTHLY MINISTRY.
05:28 HE MADE HIS DISCIPLES FISHERS OF MEN.
05:31 AND THEN THE WATER PROCEEDS >> DOWN THROUGH THE VALLEY,
05:35 THE TWISTING JORDAN RIVER,
05:36 PICKING UP THE SALT OF THE EARTH - US,
05:39 "YE ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH," THE SCRIPTURES SAID.
05:42 JESUS SAID THAT.
05:44 AND THE MINERALS AND SO ON,
05:45 UNTIL IT GETS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THAT DEEP, DEEP VALLEY
05:48 AND IT IS SO SALTY THAT NOTHING COULD BE ALIVE THERE.
05:52 AND IT IS THE IMAGE OF JESUS DESCENDING INTO HELL.
05:56 AS THE SCRIPTURE SAID, HE WENT TO MAKE THE [ speaking Hebrew ],
05:59 THE PROCLAMATION IN HELL >> THAT THE CROSS WAS
06:02 A TRIUMPHANT VICTORY AND NOT A DEFEAT FOR GOD.
06:04 AND SO THE WATER GOES DOWN TO THE DEAD SEA.
06:07 BUT IT IS >> IN A LAND-LOCKED SYSTEM.
06:09 IT EVAPORATES AGAIN AND THE PREVAILING WINDS BLOW IT UP INTO
06:12 THE NORTH AND IT FALLS AGAIN ON MT. HERMON AND SO IT KEEPS ON GOING AROUND.
06:19 THE SALT CONTENT >>IN THE DEAD SEA IS 25 PERCENT.
06:22 THAT'S 10 TIMES MORE THAN THE OCEAN.
06:25 I WAS IN SALT LAKE CITY, >>WE HAVE A GREAT SALT LAKE THERE.
06:28 OH, YOU CAN DRINK IT COMPARED TO THIS WATER.
06:31 THAT'S ABOUT, I THINK, FOUR PERCENT, SOMETHING OF THAT NATURE.
06:34 BUT IN ANY CASE, THERE'S 50 PERCENT MORE BROMINE IN THIS SEA.
06:39 EVERYBODY FEELS GOOD >> DOWN HERE BECAUSE BROMINE
06:41 IS AN INGREDIENT IN VALIUM AND IT IS IN THE AIR HERE
06:44 AND IT TRANQUILIZES EVERYBODY, THEY SAY.
06:47 THERE IS 15 TIMES THE MAGNESIUM HERE FOUND IN THE OCEAN.
06:54 AND YOU ARE BREATHING, >> WHEN YOU ARE HERE,
06:56 THE PUREST AIR IN THE WORLD.
06:59 THERE'S NO QUESTION OF THAT.
07:00 THERE'S NO BACTERIA.
07:01 THERE'S NOTHING HERE.
07:02 THERE'S NOTHING AT ALL IN THE AIR.
07:04 AND YOU CAN SEE MORE STARS STANDING IN THE DESERT
07:07 BY THE DEAD SEA THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
07:09 THERE'S NOTHING IN THE AIR TO INTERRUPT YOUR VIEW.
07:12 WELL, THE HERODIANS, PHARMACOLOGIST, PEOPLE IN THE
07:17 TIMES OF KING HEROD, CAME DOWN HERE AND THEY CULTIVATED PLANS
07:19 TO MAKE DRUGS AND PHARMACEUTICALS JUST AS WE MAKE THEM TODAY.
07:24 THE NABATEANS WHO >> LIVED NEAR HERE,
07:27 THEY BUILT THE WONDERFUL PETRA, THE MONUMENT, BUILDINGS CARVED
07:34 INTO SOLID ROCK WHICH OUR TOURS ALWAYS GO TO VISIT.
07:37 AND THEIR PEOPLE >> DROVE THROUGH HERE
07:41 AND THEY SAW THE DEAD SEA WATERS AND THEY SAW THE BITUMEN RISE
07:44 TO THE SURFACE LIKE AN OIL SLICK,
07:47 AND THEY SOLD THIS BITUMEN TO THE EGYPTIANS,
07:50 THE MASTER EMBALMERS IN ANCIENT DAYS WHO USED IT
07:53 IN THEIR EMBALMING PRACTICES TO WRAP THEIR MUMMIES.
07:56 AND THE NABATEANS MADE A REGULAR BUSINESS OF TAKING THE MINERALS
07:59 THERE AND IN THAT MANNER, >> IN A SENSE, IT WAS STILL
08:03 A HEALING PLACE IN A PHARMALOGICAL PLACE.
08:05 WE'LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS.
08:22 "THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD, I SHALL GATHER YOU FROM THE
08:26 "PEOPLES AND ASSEMBLE YOU OUT OF THE COUNTRIES WHERE YOU HAVE
08:29 "BEEN SCATTERED AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE LAND OF ISRAEL,
08:33 "THE WILDERNESS AND >> DRY LAND SHALL BE GLAD.
08:37 "THE DESERT SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE.
08:40 "YOU SHALL KNOW THAT I AM THE LORD WHEN I BRING
08:44 "YOU INTO THE LAND OF ISRAEL."
08:49 THAT'S ISRAEL AS WE SEE IT AND WE SEE A LOT OF IT AND WE SEE
08:52 THE DEAD SEA ON EVERY TRIP.
08:54 IN FACT, OUR PEOPLE GO IN THE WATER.
08:55 THE WATER THAT'S >>IN THIS POOL BEHIND ME.
08:58 THIS HOTEL'S ON THE SHORE >> AND THEY BRING THE WATER
09:00 FROM THE SEA INTO THE HOTEL FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE GUESTS.
09:04 AND THEY LAY OUT HERE ON THE WATER.
09:07 I SAY IT THAT WAY BECAUSE YOU
09:09 CAN'T SINK IN THE WATER OF THE DEAD SEA.
09:10 YOU FLOAT LIKE A CORK.
09:12 THE WATER IS SO SALTY AND SO DENSE
09:14 THAT YOU REALLY CAN'T SINK.
09:16 AS A MATTER OF FACT, THEY RENT A NECK PILLOW FOR YOU
09:19 SO YOU CAN LIE BACK ON THE WATER AND READ A NEWSPAPER,
09:22 AND IF YOU TRY IT, YOU'LL SEE THAT I'M RIGHT.
09:24 IT'S AN AMAZING PLACE.
09:26 A SPIRITUAL PLACE BESIDES A KIND OF A HEALING PLACE.
09:30 JEREMIAH SAYS THIS IN JEREMIAH 33:6,
09:48 GOD REMEMBERS HOW WHEN HIS >> PEOPLE STARTED OUT HERE,
09:51 THEY LIVED IN THE DESERT.
09:53 THE ISRAELIS STARTED AS NOMADS; ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB WERE HERDSMEN.
09:58 RATHER LIKE THE BEDOUIN OF TODAY.
10:00 THE BEDOUIN ARE ROUGHLY EQUAL TO AMERICAN INDIANS.
10:03 THEY LIVE IN TENTS.
10:04 THEY MOVE FROM PLACE TO PLACE.
10:06 THEY KEEP FLOCKS.
10:07 THEY ARE LAND PEOPLE.
10:11 THEY REALLY UNDERSTAND THE LAND.
10:13 AND THE ISRAELIS >> STARTED OUT THAT WAY.
10:17 AND THEN, OF COURSE, THEY DID 40 YEARS WANDERING IN THE DESERT.
10:20 THEY HAD TO HAVE >> TOTAL RELIANCE ON GOD
10:22 WHEN THEY WERE OUT IN THE SINAI.
10:25 THIS JUDEAN DESERT IS HARSH ENOUGH, BUT THE SINAI,
10:27 IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SURVIVE ONE MONTH LET ALONE
10:32 40 YEARS WITHOUT HEALINGS FROM GOD AND HEALINGS FROM THE EARTH.
10:39 IN JOHN, WE READ A LOT ABOUT JESUS' HEALINGS AND HOW HE WAS
10:45 RAISED UP LIKE THE SERPENT.
10:48 AND THE PEOPLE IN THIS -- IN THIS KIND OF TERRITORY,
10:53 DEPEND ON THE HEALING, LIKE WHEN THE SERPENT WAS RAISED UP THE WILDERNESS.
10:59 THE ORIGINAL RECHABITES, THESE WERE PEOPLE THAT LIVED
11:02 DOWN IN THE WILDERNESS, HERE IN ISRAEL,
11:04 WHO WERE PRE-DATED THE ESSENES.
11:07 WE KNOW THE ESSENES BECAUSE
11:08 THEY CREATED THE DEAD SEA SCROLLS.
11:10 THEY ARE WHAT WE THINK OF AS THE WILDERNESS PEOPLE.
11:13 BUT THERE WERE >> MORE ORIGINAL ABORIGINAL
11:16 WILDERNESS PEOPLE THAN THOSE.
11:17 THE RECHABITES CAME DOWN >>HERE TO BE IN DIRECT COMMUNION
11:20 WITH GOD AND EXPERIENCE THE SPIRITUAL HEALING OF THE DESERT.
11:25 THEY WERE DOWN HERE WORKING WITH SCROLLS AND WORSHIPING GOD VERY
11:30 DIRECTLY AND THEN, THE ESSENES HAVE CAME.
11:34 AND THEN PEOPLE BUILT MONASTERIES.
11:37 THERE ARE GREEK MONASTERIES AND CATHOLIC MONASTERIES AND SO ON.
11:40 MONKS GO HERE TO HAVE A PLACE TO CONCENTRATE AWAY FROM THE WORLD,
11:44 AWAY FROM THE NOISE.
11:46 THE MOUNT OF TEMPTATION IS HERE IN THE VALLEY NEAR JERICHO NOT FAR FROM HERE.
11:51 THERE THE LORD WAS TAKEN >> AND TEMPTED OF THE DEVIL.
11:54 THE SCAPEGOAT THAT THE ISRAELITE NATION LET GO ONCE A YEAR
11:58 FROM THE TEMPLE ON THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
12:00 WAS LEFT OUT IN THIS WILDERNESS,
12:03 OUT HERE AROUND THE DEAD SEA TO DO AS IT MAY.
12:06 IT WAS A SIGN OF THE THAT GOD COULD KEEP THIS GOAT ALIVE IF
12:11 THAT'S WHAT GOD CHOSE >> WITH THE HEALING
12:13 OF THE DESERT AND THE DEAD SEA.
12:16 THIS IS NOT VERY SPIRITUAL, BUT THE ISRAELIS ARE PROMOTING
12:19 WHAT THEY CALL THE "GREAT EMBRACE."
12:22 THEY ARE TRYING TO GET A HUNDRED THOUSAND PEOPLE TO HOLD HANDS
12:25 AROUND THE ENTIRE DEAD SEA.
12:28 IF YOU CAN IMAGINE.
12:29 THAT'S A VERY GREAT DISTANCE.
12:30 AND THAT WILL PROMOTE SOME SORT OF HEALING.
12:33 IN REALITY, THOSE PEOPLE WILL FEEL BETTER
12:35 WHEN THEY ARE DONE BREATHING
12:37 THIS PURE AIR AND THIS BROMINE AND SO FORTH,
12:39 BUT AS TO WHETHER IT WILL HEAL THE PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD,
12:43 WE'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE.
12:44 THE MEDICINAL PROPERTIES >> OF THE DESERT ARE WELL KNOWN
12:48 AND WE READ ABOUT THEM.
12:50 OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, IN NUMBERS 21:8 AND 9,
12:55 THE SERPENT IS RAISED UP >>ON THE STICK IN THE WILDERNESS
12:58 AND THE PEOPLE LOOK >> UPON IT WHO ARE POISONED
13:01 AND THEY ARE MADE WELL.
13:04 AND THIS SYMBOL, THE SERPENT ON THE TREE
13:06 IS THE MEDICAL SYMBOL THAT WE USE IN AMERICA.
13:10 YOU'VE SEEN IT.
13:12 AND WE'RE CALLED TO STILL LOOK UPON THAT RAISED UP FIGURE
13:18 WHEN WE CONSIDER THE MINISTRY OF THE LORD HIMSELF.
13:21 CONSIDER JOHN 3:14.
13:36 THE LORD ON A TREE IS LIKE SIN CRUCIFIED,
13:40 THE SERPENT ON THE TREE THAT MOSES RAISED UP.
13:42 THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES.
13:44 AND IN THE NEXT VERSE.
13:45 IF YOU HAVE EVER SEEN AN NFL GAME --
13:54 THAT'S THE FAMOUS JOHN 3:16.
13:56 AND SOMEONE'S ALWAYS HOLDING IT UP ON A SIGN
13:58 AT THOSE ATHLETIC CONTESTS.
14:00 AND FURTHER, IN JOHN 12:31,
14:04 YOU KNOW, THE LORD HAS JUST COME INTO JERUSALEM.
14:07 HE'S JUST COME OVER THE MOUNT OF OLIVES
14:09 AND HE'S RIDING THE DONKEY.
14:11 AND THERE'S QUITE A SCENE.
14:14 SOME REALIZE WHO IT IS.
14:22 HIS ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM AS PROPHESIED FROM DAYS OF OLD.
14:25 AND THOSE WHO HAD READ THEIR SCRIPTURES >> AND READ THE PROPHECIES,
14:28 UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS HAPPENING BEFORE THEIR EYES.
14:30 BUT THEN IT SAYS.
14:38 ON THAT DAY, MAYBE 10,000 PEOPLE
14:41 WAVED THOSE PALM BRANCHES ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES.
14:43 WHEN THE PASTOR SAYS THE JEWS MISSED THE MESSIAH,
14:46 HE MUST NOT HAVE READ THE CHAPTER,
14:48 BECAUSE THOSE 10,000 PEOPLE WERE JEWS OF JERUSALEM
14:51 WHO GREETED THE MESSIAH AS THE KING WHO WAS TO COME.
14:55 WHO SAID, [ speaking Hebrew ]
14:57 "BLESSED IT HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD."
15:01 AND YOU KNOW, MATTHEW 21 PICTURES
15:05 TWO GROUPS OF JERUSALEM CITIZENS.
15:07 ONE GROUP SAYS, "THIS IS >> THE KING WHO WAS TO COME."
15:12 AND THE SECOND GROUP SAYS,
15:14 "IS THIS NOT >> THE PROPHET OF GALILEE?"
15:17 WHAT AN UNDERESTIMATION.
15:19 THIS FELLAH THAT DOES THE WONDERS.
15:21 THAT WALKS ON WATER THEY SAY, THAT HEALS THE SICK
15:23 AND RAISES THE DEAD THEY SAY,
15:25 LET'S GO SEE THE SHOW.
15:27 THOSE TWO GROUPS OF PEOPLE ARE STILL ALIVE IN THIS WORLD.
15:30 IT'S STILL ALIVE IN THE CHURCH.
15:31 THOSE THAT SEE HIM AS THE KING
15:34 AND THOSE THAT MERELY SEE HIM AS A CURIOSITY.
15:51 LIFTED UP LIKE THAT SERPENT.
15:52 AND THIS HE SAID, SIGNIFYING WHAT DEATH HE SHOULD DIE.
15:55 AND HE WAS, IN FACT, CRUCIFIED ON A TREE.
15:58 YOU KNOW, IN THAT SCENE,
15:59 HE ALMOST GETS A CUE FROM HEAVEN TO DO WHAT HE DID.
16:03 JUST AFTER THE PHARISEE'S REMARK IT SAYS,
16:32 IT'S AS IF IT'S A SIGNAL THAT WHEN THE GREEKS ARE COMING,
16:36 WHEN THE FOREIGN PEOPLE ARE COMING TO HEAR THE GOSPEL
16:39 THEN IT'S TIME TO LEAVE IT TO THE APOSTLES.
16:41 HE HAS DONE HIS WORK, BECAUSE HIS WORK IS CIRCUMSCRIBED IN
16:45 JOHN CHAPTER 10:5, 6.
16:48 "I AM COME ONLY UNTO THE LOST SHEEP OF THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL."
16:52 AND SO WHEN THE LORD IS LIFTED UP,
16:54 HIS MISSION IS COMPLETELY DONE.
16:57 I WILL NEVER FORGOT THAT VERSE, BECAUSE I ONCE PREACHED IN
16:59 AN EPISCOPAL CHURCH, A GIGANTIC CHURCH,
17:02 I WAS ALMOST AFRAID TO TALK, THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE.
17:05 AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE PULPITS >> RAISED OFF OF THE FLOOR,
17:08 WHERE YOU LOOK DOWN AT THE CROWD.
17:09 AND I FELT FUNNY ABOUT THAT.
17:11 AND I WENT UP PRACTICING THE FIRST LINES OF MY MESSAGE
17:14 TO GET IT JUST PERFECT.
17:16 AND WHEN I GOT UP THERE, I LOOKED AT THE AUDIENCE
17:18 AND BEHIND THE FACADE OF >> THIS GIANT SPEAKER'S ROSTRUM
17:22 WAS A LITTLE WOODEN CROSS AND ON THERE WAS CARVED THE WORDS,
17:25 "SIR, WE WOULD SEE JESUS."
17:35 TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THE HEALING ASPECTS OF THESE
17:37 MINERAL RICH WATERS, WE SPOKE WITH GIDEON,
17:41 THE MANAGER OF THE HEALTH SPA OF THE HYATT HOTEL OF THE DEAD SEA.
17:44 THE SUBSTANCE IS SITTING >> IN THE DEAD SEA AND UNIQUE
17:49 TO THE DEAD SEA AND FIND IT
17:51 ONLY HERE AND THEY ARE BETTER BECAUSE
17:53 OF THE LEVELS ARE BETTER TO THE HUMAN BODY.
17:57 WE TAKE THOSE MINERALS AND SALTS.
18:00 AND WE USE THEM IN PRODUCTS FOR THE TREATMENTS.
18:04 WE USE THEM AS THEY ARE IN THE DEAD SEA POOLS,
18:07 IN THE DEAD SEA ITSELF.
18:09 THE SULPHUR, THE MUD, WHICH IS NOT TREATED AT ALL.
18:15 WE ONLY TAKE THE BIG STONES OUT SO THAT IT IS
18:17 COMFORTABLE ON THE BODY AND THAT IT SMEARS RIGHT.
18:20 BUT WE DON'T TREAT IT AT ALL.
18:23 IT IS PURE MUD, THAT IS 10 OR 20,000 YEARS AGO.
18:32 AND BECAUSE OF THE SUBSTANCE IT IS GOOD FOR
18:34 THE SKIN AND MUSCLES, TENDONS, AND JOINTS OF THE BODY.
18:40 WE HAVE THREE KINDS INDEED.
18:42 AND ONE OF THEM IS A NATURAL MUD
18:44 WHICH I SAID, IS NOT TREATED AT ALL.
18:46 AND THE OTHER TOOLS ARE THE SEA WEED MUD AND THE ALOE VERA MUD.
18:50 THE ALOE VERA MUD HAS BEEN WASHED AND IT IS LESS
18:53 CONCENTRATED WITH SALTS AND MINERALS.
18:56 AND THAT'S FOR PEOPLE >> WHO HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN.
18:59 THE SEAWEED MUD, >> ON THE OTHER HAND,
19:03 IS THE NATURAL MUD ADDED WITH SEAWEED.
19:06 AND WE ADD THE SEAWEED THAT IS GROWING IN THE DEAD SEA.
19:10 AND THAT'S THE ONLY THING THAT IS GROWING IN THE DEAD SEA.
19:14 IT IS MICRO-SEAWEED AND DOES A LOT OF GOOD
19:18 FOR PEOPLE WITH PSORIASIS, PEOPLE WITH SKIN PIGMENTATION.
19:23 THERE IS A LOT BETTER COUNT IN IT.
19:26 AND ALSO GOOD FOR DIGESTION AND THEREFORE, WE ARE LOOKING NOW
19:29 WHERE WE ARE USING THE SEAWEED IN FOODS.
19:32 THE POOL IN THE BACK, THE DEAD SEA WATER POOL IS WATER
19:36 WE PUMP STRAIGHT >>AWAY FROM THE DEAD SEA.
19:39 AND THAT'S FOR PEOPLE WHO WOULDN'T LIKE TO GO COOK
19:41 THEMSELVES IN THE SUN.
19:43 BUT HAVE AN AIR CONDITIONED POOL.
19:46 BEHIND ME HERE IS THE SULPHUR POOL WHICH IS NOT A SPRING,
19:52 BUT IS FROM THE DEAD SEA, BUT WE ARE BUYING THE SULPHUR
19:56 FROM ANOTHER SPRING THAT'S ABOUT A HUNDRED KILOMETERS AWAY
20:00 FROM HERE BECAUSE OF THE >>HIGH CONTENT OF SULPHUR IN IT.
20:04 IT IS VERY GOOD FOR ONE'S SKIN.
20:08 MANY PEOPLE THAT >> SUFFER FROM PSORIASIS
20:11 ARE COMING TO USE THE SULPHUR.
20:12 IT IS MENDING THE INNER CIRCULATION
20:18 AND THE BUILDING OF SKIN CELLS.
20:20 ACTUALLY PSORIASIS IS A DISEASE WHERE SKIN CELLS ARE BUILDING INCORRECTLY AND TOO MUCH.
20:29 SULPHUR IS ABLE TO CORRECT THIS AND MAKE THE SKIN SMOOTH AGAIN.
20:35 THE DEAD SEA IS NOT THE SAME AS SULPHUR.
20:39 THERE ARE SOME SUBSTANCES THAT ARE THE SAME.
20:42 BROMIDE AND SULPHUR.
20:44 WE HAVE BOTH >> OF THEM IN THE DEAD SEA.
20:46 BUT THERERE ARE MANY MINERALS AND SALTS AND METALS
20:49 BUT WE DON'T HAVE SULPHUR.
20:52 AND YOU DON'T FLOAT ON THE SULPHUR,
20:56 YOU FLOAT ON THE DEAD SEA.
20:58 FLOTATION IS VERY GOOD FOR RELAXATION.
21:00 VERY GOOD FOR MUSCLE TENSION
21:03 AND HELPS ALSO REJUVENATING THE SKIN.
21:09 AND BECAUSE OF THE PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DONE ON THE SKIN,
21:17 IT WASHES THE SKIN FROM WITHIN.
21:19 A LOT OF FAT, A LOT OF AMINO ACIDS AND DIFFERENT KINDS
21:25 OF ACIDS THAT ARE SITTING UNDERNEATH OR WITHIN,
21:28 THE EPIDERMIS, THE SKIN LAYER HAS BEEN WASHED OUT.
21:45 OUR PILGRIM LADIES REAL LOVE THE MINERAL WEALTH OF THE DEAD SEA.
21:48 THEY MAKE IT INTO WONDERFUL COSMETICS.
21:51 THEY BUY A BRAND CALLED [ speaking Hebrew ].
21:53 IT MEANS IN HEBREW, "LOVE."
21:56 THEY MAKE ALL SORTS OF WONDERFUL LOTIONS AND SO FORTH.
21:58 OUT OF THE STUFF >> THAT COMES FROM THE DEAD SEA.
22:00 IT SEEMS VERY UNLIKELY WHEN YOU SEE THE PLACE.
22:03 BUT THE COSMETICS ARE MUCH APPRECIATED.
22:06 AND MERCHANDISED >> IN AMERICA ALL OVER.
22:07 NOW, WE ARE GOING TO GO NORTH.
22:09 WE ARE GOING TO A SMALL VEGETARIAN SPA THAT IS IN THE
22:14 ROLLING HILLS OF NORTHERN GALILEE
22:16 AND HAS A MAGNIFICENT VIEW OF THE FAMOUS SEA OF GALILEE.
22:26 WELL, SOME GARDENS ARE JUST FOR GARDEN
22:28 AND SOME OF THE BIGGER GARDENS ARE THE HERBAL.
22:33 WE GROW VEGETABLES AND FRUITS, HERBAL VEGETABLES AND FRUITS
22:37 THAT WE SERVE TO THE GUESTS.
22:40 WE ALSO HAVE A BIG FARM WHERE WE MANUFACTURE DAIRY PRODUCTS.
22:46 CHEESES AND MILK.
22:47 THIS IS A VEGETARIAN HOTEL.
22:49 PEOPLE COME HERE FOR HEALTH.
22:54 DO MAINLY ISRAELIS COME HERE?
22:56 YES, MAINLY ISRAELIS, >> BUT A LOT OF TOURIST, TOO.
22:59 EVEN FROM AMERICA?
23:00 YES.
23:02 AND THEY WOULD COME FROM HEALTH PURPOSES?
23:04 THEY COME FOR HEALTH PURPOSES.
23:07 THE ONES THAT KNOW >>AND KEEP COMING BACK.
23:10 THEY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT.
23:12 THE ONES THAT COME HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME,
23:13 THEY ARE VERY SURPRISED, >> THEY LOVE IT.
23:15 IT'S A HEALTH HOTEL.
23:17 IN THE SPA WE >> GIVE OVER 40 TREATMENTS,
23:20 DIFFERENT KINDS OF TREATMENTS.
23:21 WE HAVE THE BEST >> THERAPIST IN ISRAEL
23:24 THAT CAN DEAL WITH THE SPECIFIC PROBLEMS.
23:27 BEST THERAPIST?
23:29 YES, THEY DEAL WITH SPECIFIC PROBLEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE.
23:35 HOW TO REDUCE TENSION, HOW TO HELP PEOPLE IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
23:39 WELL, IT'S SAD, BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS NOT THE
23:43 PICTURE OF ISRAEL I WOULD SEE IN THE UNITED STATES.

24:31 IT'S VERY SAD.
24:32 AND DIFFERENT AND THERE IS A DIFFERENT SIDE TO ISRAEL.
24:38 [ music playing ]
25:07 WELL, ISRAEL IS A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF BEAUTY,
25:10 NOT AVAILABLE ON THE MEDIA, I'M AFRAID.
25:13 YOU KNOW, WE MADE THIS SERIES
25:14 BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT SHOWING OF ISRAEL,

25:26 YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST A SMALL PROGRAM.
25:28 IT'S HARD FOR US TO AFFORD THIS.
25:30 BUT IT SIMPLY HAS TO BE DONE.
25:32 THE WAY THE MEDIA, CNN AND THE NETWORKS
25:35 AND THE BRITISH BROADCASTING COMPANY AND OTHERS
25:38 PORTRAY ISRAEL, >> IF ISRAEL WERE A PERSON,
25:41 HE COULD SUE THEM FOR LIABLE.

26:00 I'VE BEEN THROUGH ALL OF THESE NATIONS.
26:03 IT'S FAR AND AWAY THE FINEST, THE BEST LOOKING,
26:06 THE MOST PROGRESSIVE, THE MOST ECONOMICALLY SECURE.
26:11 AND IT'S JUST NOT PORTRAYED THAT WAY
26:13 AND IT'S JUST GETTING TIRESOME.
26:16 THE TOURIST AND THE PILGRIMS KNOW BETTER.
26:18 IF YOU COME ON ONE OF OUR TOURS AND WE SHOW YOU THE PLACE,
26:21 YOU WILL NEVER BE FOOLED AGAIN.
26:22 YOU WILL PROBABLY NOT WATCH CNN AGAIN.
26:24 IT IS A PROOF OF PROPHECY FULFILLED.
26:27 ON TOP OF EVERYTHING ELSE,
26:29 IT IS A VERY SPIRITUALLY IMPORTANT PLACE.
26:31 IF OUR SEMINARIES COULD MASTER THAT, IT WOULD BE DELIGHTFUL.
26:34 GOD IS WORKING THERE AND >>THEY SOMEHOW IGNORE THE PLACE.
26:39 THE PEOPLE THAT COME FOR THE HEALING,
26:42 THEY COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
26:44 THE HEALING IS EVERYWHERE.
