An aerial pilgrimage to the world’s only Jewish state – home to approximately 7.2 million and the Holy Land of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam – showcases Israel in all its diverse glory. Visions of Israel is set to stirring regional music and narrated by Itzhak Perlman, a native- born Israeli who ranks among the world’s most sublime musicians. Stunning aerial and ground HD footage highlight the religious landmarks of the Old City of Jerusalem, including the Western Wall, the Temple Mount, Dome of the Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Witness the moving Holocaust Memorial at Yad Vashem and the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret) – Israel’s largest freshwater lake; journey to the ancient Jewish fortress at Masada and then to the lowest point on planet earth – the Dead Sea; visit secular delights including Tel Aviv, Eilat, one of Israel’s premiere resort towns overlooking the Red Sea and the marvelous beaches of the Mediterranean Coast. WLIW New York’s VISIONS series explores Israel as you’ve never seen before.
