"Yitzhak Navon is the perfect host, smooth-tongued and eloquent. Director Yigal Lossin, the creator of Pillar of Fire, along with producer Naomi Kaplansky, succeed in creating a magical and fascinating tapestry of sights and smells, and most important, the spirit of the Jews of old which continues to pervade the area to this day."
