The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute’s newest JLI Teens course, Israel 3-D, recently kicked off in 50 cities across the globe with a screening of a brand new live action video series called “Israel 3-D Road Trip.”
Hosted by Zev Jacobson of Israel Maven Tours, the Israel 3-D Road Trip welcomed students along for a six-part virtual tour of Israel to explore its cities and important regions bringing some of the ideas from the class to life.
The first stop was Be’er Sheva and the Negev. Zev and his film crew toured the area’s ancient ruins as well as it modern infrastructure, showcasing the region’s role as an exporter of ideas from the time of Avraham, who introduced the notion of one G-d, until today, where some of the world’s first commercial solar power fields are being built.
The second episode took students on journey to Tiberias and the Sea of Galilee and focused on Israel’s lack of abundant water resources which illustrates the Jewish nation’s constant need for rain and dependence to turn to G-d.
JLI Teens courses are built on a strong academic base, but also integrate multi-media and activities into the curriculum to be attractive to teenagers.
“The road-trip is an integral part of the course, enabling Israel to come off the pages of the textbook, out of the history vault, and enter into the hearts and minds of Jewish youth, changing their perspective and relationship with the land and their heritage,” says Rabbi Benny Rapoport, the Director of JLI Teens.
Israel 3-D was developed specifically for high school students and takes a deeper approach to learning about the land of Israel. The course explores a number of challenging issues designed to spark passion and critical thought amongst participants, including, why does Judaism need a homeland? What does it mean that Israel is a “holy” land? What right do we have to the land of Israel? Is there a media bias against Israel? What is the solution for peace in the Middle East?
JLI Teens invites you to travel to Hebron with us.

Your right about the toilet roll though. When I went to visit Amuka (Rabbi Yonatan Ben Uziel)
There were no toilet seats on the toilets let alone any toilet roll!
Did you read every single reliable Jewish history book to be able to say with conviction “Nowhere does is say that!”?
Did you see him EATING any fruit????
Did you ever say Yechi?
How about Yechi Charley?
What amazes me the most: What Rabbi Danny Cohen said about being in Chevron and the privilage that he is serving as the rebbes shliach in one of the most heilige places in the world.
ZEV rocks and the course is totally awesome!!
All our four fatherslived in chebron????? Nowhere does it say that!
Did he check if the fruit he took from the tree is orlah or anything like that?
While I don’t expect a Chabad educational video to get into geopolitics (which is essential for understanding modern Chevron), something else crucial was missing from this video. How in fact did the building get put on to of the cave?
