(man) One, two, three, listen. ♪ (music) ♪ Hi. In this episode, we are not
gonna show you a specific location. Instead, we're gonna talk about
and show you an event. - Which event is it?
- Yom Kippur! That's right.
The Day of Atonement. Now, the religious Jews
have been keeping it for the past 3,000 years. What do they do on Yom Kippur? Well, it's very much like, um... - Sabbath.
- That's right. Yeah. But.. But they fast. Yeah. In Hebrew it's "Tzom." So, they greet each other
before the holiday for this event. Or before this day,
they greet each other "Tzom Kal:" Have an easy fast. Which is kinda of funny,
everybody laughs about it, because the fast is not
supposed to be easy. But that's what they say.
It's tradition. But, what happens to the rest
of about 70% of the people in Israel who don't keep the fast and don't care about
committing work on that day? Because, that day,
work shuts down. You can't turn on the light.
You can't turn off the light. You can't work.
You can't drill. You can't pretty much do anything
except praise God, ask for forgiveness. - Go to the synagogue.
- Synagogue. Yeah. - Walk everywhere.
- Right. So, it's an official
day off in Israel, but it's more than that. It is the only day of the year-- and I think this is the
only country in the world that does this-- where the streets,
the roads in Israel shut down. Completely. <i>(Sergio) Not just your local
small roads in the city. No.</i> <i>In entire Israel, the highways,</i> <i>the bridges, the interstates,
everything shuts down.</i> <i>(Rhoda) Except for Arabic
villages and Arabic places.</i> <i>- (Sergio) That's right.
- (Rhoda) So, downtown in Nazareth,</i> <i>it still is occupational,</i> and that's why
many Jews come here, even a day before,
so they can do things. They come to Nazareth.
They go to the Arabic cities. <i>Yeah. Now, think of this.</i> <i>If there's nobody on the road,</i> <i>what happens to
the 70% of the Jews</i> <i>that don't keep the law
and don't uphold the traditions?</i> What do they do? - They play on their bicycles!
- That's right. <i>This is the funnest day
of the year for most Israelis.</i> <i>When I was growing up here,</i> <i>this day of the year is the day
we all looked forward to</i> <i>because on this day,
you take out your bicycle,</i> <i>you take your scooter,
you take your roller blades,</i> <i>and you go in the streets
and you have fun.</i> <i>You can literally take your
bicycle and go on the highway,</i> <i>something similar to
an interstate, on a bridge.</i> <i>It is incredible.</i> So, the drone footage you saw
in the opening of the episode was taken by
my good friend Mike, who actually
lives in Nazareth Illit. <i>He got a chance to lay
in the middle of an intersection</i> <i>on a very busy street
in Nazareth Illit,</i> <i>which otherwise would be
impossible to do.</i> <i>But, just on this day,
he could lie down,</i> <i>take his drone and have it
hover above him.</i> <i>It's incredible.</i> So, this Day of Atonement
that the Jews kept for 3,000 years, it is incredible. Because, in the Torah,
God says to the Jews to do something very specific: Take two goats, take one goat,
a scapegoat, release it. The other goat,
keep and slaughter it and then atone for the sins... There is so much
specific details in that day, which begs the question: Why all of this?
What does it stand for? And Rabbis throughout
generations tried to explain it, but there is something behind it
that is unbelievably incredible. It points to Christ in ways
that makes my hair stand, in ways that will make
your jaw open, drop open, and the brain go: Wow! - (imitates an explosion)
- Yeah. That's the expression. So, if you want to find out
how and what I am talking about, you've gotta watch the sermon
by Charlie Garrett from The Superior Word church. It's down in the link below. Click that link.
You gotta watch that sermon. I promise you,
if you know who Jesus is... this will blow your mind away. Yep. <i>(Fifi) (faint meowing)</i> <i>(louder meowing)</i> <i>(Sergio) Hey, girl.</i> <i>So, it looks like our little cat
didn't like the Atonement Day</i> <i>and got sick.</i> I think it's a UTI.
She had it before. But luckily,
the Israeli veterinarians are cheaper than American ones. - I think.
- We hope. Yeah. We'll see now. ♪ (music) ♪ We can't seem to find them. The address is wrong
on the website. - Hello.<i>
- (boy on phone) Hello.</i> Hello. I'm trying to get to you.
What is your address? <i>(Rhoda) (softly) This is his son.</i> <i>(boy on phone)
Dad, the address. Dad, the address?</i> <i>- (boy on phone) Atzmaut 6/8.</i>
- Atzmaut 6/8. <i>- (boy on phone) Atzmon 6/8.</i>
- Atzmon 6/8. Thank you. <i>- (boy on phone) Welcome. Bye.</i>
- Bye-bye. So, it sounds like
the veterinarian is still a child, but... <i>(Rhoda) That's how
you speak to a child?</i> <i>(laughing)</i> What, I didn't speak nice? <i>(Rhoda) How are you, cutie-pie?
Where is your dad?</i> <i>Can I speak with the doctor?</i> Shalom. What is your address? (both laughing) ♪ (music) ♪ <i>(Fifi meows)</i> It's okay, girl.
That's it. We're done. So, it looks like a UTI. We got her a couple of shots
that will kill the infection, and we'll come back later
to give her a few more shots to finish the treatment. So, it appears to be
that Israeli veterinarians are much, much cheaper. So, the X-ray
in America costs $300. Here, it's 300 shekels. - The shot there costs $100.
- $100. Here, it's $35. And the visit didn't
cost us anything. And in America, the visit
costs a minimum of $50. To a certain office and go
through the paperwork. Oh, yeah.
There's no paperwork. There's no paper trail. Fifi, you know... it's done. You be careful what you say. Yeah. <i>(Sergio) She's always very
excited about the new food.</i> <i>Don't eat me. Okay. Okay.
You're a crazy cat.</i> - (Fifi hisses)<i>
- (Sergio) Wow. Okay.</i> <i>She's going nuts!</i> - (Fifi meowing)<i>
- (Sergio) Fifi, what's wrong with you?</i> <i>You need to step aside, cat.</i> <i>Let go.
(laughing)</i> <i>Easy, easy.</i> <i>Don't swallow it.
You've gotta chew it, Fifi!</i> <i>I'm sorry. You're gonna have to
go back in the box.</i> <i>That is not healthy eating.</i> <i>That is not healthy eating.</i> <i>Please, back in the box.</i> <i>Whoa.</i> ♪ (music) ♪ Welcome to our studio. So, this is where
it all happens. Not that exciting, but I just thought you might be
interested to know how it works. I've got two screens. On one, I do the timeline. I drop the footages
that I film and the music. On the other,
I've got the monitor so I can see how it's gonna
look like in the final version. Then, when it's all done,
I switch them around. I put the video here
so I can see in full screen if it looks good or not. And, it takes about
two days on average with filming and editing
to make an episode. Sometimes it's faster.
Sometimes it's longer. And, yeah.
Unfortunately, this week, we didn't get a chance to go to
any ancient historical site. And that's because I got sick
with this Israeli virus. It's a flu. I was literally paralyzed
in bed for three days. I couldn't do anything. Rhoda took great care of me. Rhoda's mom cooked
and brought food, and it was wonderful. So, it was kind of
a time of rest, actually, even though it was
a terrible time. But I got to rest,
so that was nice. Yeah. I hope that you still enjoyed
this episode with the Yom Kippur and seeing the Israeli vet,
how they work. Until next time... I hope we'll get to show you
something more exciting. - Sandwich?
- Whoa! Yes. Thank you! Bon Appetite. ♪ (music) ♪ If you have noticed, Sergio and I
are wearing matching shirts. They are the shape of a cross, but they're so clever
because they say "grace". They're beautiful in design,
and they feel wonderful. Yes, they feel incredible. In fact, you know how
most shirts you get and they're like
half synthetic, half cotton? - Yeah.
- These are 100% cotton. I love cotton.
Cotton is a natural thing. Cotton is in the Law.
You can find it in the Torah. Cotton is awesome.
Just don't mix it with wool. Very important. No. You can mix it with wool. Check out Charlie
and Missy's link bellow. Check out her website. She does these.
They are amazing. Check it out.
And if you like them, you can purchase
from her website. Yeah. And I think
she ships worldwide - because we got them in Israel.
- Yeah. And it was awesome
to get them here. And we love them.
We are big fans of theirs. Yeah. We want to take this opportunity to thank you
for your encouragement. You have no idea
how many times we just wanted to say: Okay. This is gonna be hard
for a video. That's it. We don't have time.
It's a lot of work and all that. But it's from your encouragement
and prayers that we keep on. Truly. We are blessed every week
by the comments, the kindness that comes
our way from you. And we just want to
thank you so much. Thank you for being part
of Superior Word, for being part of
Charlie's ministry, and being part of our lives too. So... All the way
to Sarasota, Florida, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, - to Nazareth Israel.
- the northern pole. - Shalom.
- Shalom. And Tzom Kal. That's right.
