is [Music] [Music] hi viewers well we've just finished our very first program in israel and it was in in i didn't really expect it to be right in the heart of jerusalem this ymca is a beautiful building absolutely stunning i mean we were taking pictures outside long ago it's in three bridges uh three arches sorry not three bridges it's called um it's homeless has delivered a speech and we've done the circle of love and of course i mean i'm sure our tv viewers are going to recognize paula from ohio in california which was our last very last program that we had on that american tour we went to that beauty beauty of a church where we did a we had a beautiful afternoon um and it was um reverend marilyn who hosted us um absolutely beautiful so um and uh paula is here with her son adam as well they've come all the way over from usa and for this event so i'm just going to ask paul to share with us what she felt today oh my god it was so beautiful and when i came i met some people from jerusalem that were attending and they called me a group groupie of his holiness because i'm following them all over the world now but i agree with you steve this was such a beautiful special spot for his holiness to come and deliver his message of unification and love in terms of we're all the same and you know from coming from the heart and i'm so glad all right and this is adam i also had a great time i really loved the end where we all got together and the activations the dances the singing the chants i thought it was really special and really enjoyed everything and i was grateful to be able to come to this um and be a part of something how do you feel about sufism was it something that you thought was just attached to islam and somebody would have to follow a religion um to be on the sufi path has this been a surprise you know i sufism has always been something i we both are attracted to the more mystical spiritual elements of the religions as opposed to maybe the more the elements that are more about just beliefs and maybe even dogma but we really do appreciate and we were really i'm happy to be here and be a part of that and you know i've always yeah like i kind of said had positive a positive perspective on sufism and this just kind of brought me closer into that and made me realize that even more yeah where are we going to meet each other next which country australia you heard it here folks australia next we'll see you there here with jakub he's joined us for this sufi gathering this spiritual evening that we've just had um it's been absolutely immense and um i'd just like to ask jakub you know to introduce himself um i know that he's the owner of a spiritual bookshop right here in jerusalem and a very keen follower of sufism and i just like to know sort of how you found out about this event because people have been coming from far and wide for this event how did you find out about it from facebook and uh a new member posted something with a picture of yunus and a quotation from him uh somebody else another new member of the group had a very strong negative reaction yes uh something about the companions of the prophet and you know issues about ali and the the descendants of ali um i said uh okay i don't want to censor this let's discuss it because it was a little bit of a conversation and then i said to myself so who is this guy so i looked up on eunice's facebook timeline page and it's a holy mackerel tomorrow night at the inca at the ymca we say in ibuymka i'll make one word out of it yup and here we are yeah i mean that's that's what we want and this is a beautiful um way we just don't argue with people um but it's very important to have these discussions isn't it very important to um be very open and his holiness most certainly doesn't promote any religion um it's about love um you're originally from new york brooklyn new york and how long have you been in israel 29 years since 1990 makes it easy to remember but now you're in the um so i opened my bookstore bookstore 22 years ago you did you enjoyed the the speech today was telling his speech and the sufi zika we did afterwards and the awakening of the heart maybe it's something that we can do with other like-minded sufis right here in jerusalem sure sure it it felt familiar and uh was good to share yeah yes okay well thank you very much for sharing that with us and we're gonna come to your bookshop tomorrow and we're gonna hopefully work very closely together in the future yeah thank you very much okay thank you we're in haifa in north israel and we've arrived here for the um event that's going to be held at the crowne plaza hotel it's homeless unisa the sufi master is uh delivering a speech on sufism on divine love and we're in a very special very um sacred place here today in haifa and this is elijah's cave and this is where elijah wandered in the wildernesses here um regarded very highly you know with prophet moses as the defender of the hebrew god and here we just have one of the most sacred caves in israel and tradition holds that elijah the prophet stayed here on his way to his momentous confrontation and i'll speak very very gently here as we come into the caves very respectfully and people are praying um in jerusalem and but this goes right across israel such a sacred blessed land that all these prophets stepped upon these very this very ground that we're walking upon and here we are right inside the caves this is exactly where prophet elijah used to come as a retreat um to pray here as i said he was a big defender of one god the hebrew god lots of scriptures people we're here quite early in the morning so it's pretty quiet but people have been coming in saying their prayers and going off to work the

church you can see pilgrims from all over the world um israel i can't tell you what a welcoming place this is we've enjoyed every second we've been in israel we kind of like did it in reverse order in the way that we visited the holy sepulchre in jerusalem which was obviously the crucifixion the burial and the resurrection of lord jesus then we visited bethlehem the birthplace of lord jesus but now we come right back to that beginning that holy moment on this holy ground this is exactly where archangel gabriel um descended into heaven everywhere on the walls just decorated with beautiful mosaics portraits of our lady mother mary and this and israel i mean it's really holy ground really holy ground that we're walking on just imagine all the saints and the prophets that have walked this ground

grace knowledge with thee blessed be once women and blessed be the fruit of thy womb jesus holy mary mother of god pray for our sinners now at the hour of our death amen and as you can hear in the background this multi cultural place of nazareth there's a muslim call to prayer there's so many huge mosques miraetz um and the court of prayer is in the background that we're here in nazareth of course this holy ground was where most of jesus short but very important and very significant ministry happened very short no more than three years most of the healing most of the miracles happen right on this ground here in nazareth very very happy to be here in nazareth after two beautiful programs in jerusalem and haifa and we're going to be returning very very soon here to israel to this
