Guide the Tour Yourself

A Tour Through the Western Wall Tunnels- Led by the Bar/Bat Mitzva Child

An Unforgettable Experience for the Entire Family

In this unique and challenging program, we invite the Bar or Bat Mitzva children to be the guides for their family and friends on the amazing journey to the secrets held in the Western Wall Tunnels.  By taking on this educational and historic responsibility, the child not only learns the history of this part of Jerusalem, but learns to convey it as well.

The program includes several meetings between the child and Western Wall Heritage Foundation tour guides.  During these meetings, the child becomes familiar with the archeology, history, and significance of the site.  In addition, the child receives an educational unit to learn and practice alone or with members of his/her family.  In this way, the child’s family is involved with the preparation leading up to the special day and tour.  Alternately, the child can receive assistance in preparing a speech and presentation that includes a fascinating slideshow about the Western Wall and the Tunnels.

For those children who are abroad and will only be coming to Israel shortly before their special day, it is possible to learn how to guide the tour or prepare the presentation via our special distance-learning programs.   For more information on this and other exciting activities, contact us.

On the day the child leads the tour of the Tunnels, a guide of the Western Wall Heritage Foundation accompanies the tour as well.  However, the focus remains on the two stars of the day- the Bar/Bat Mitzva child and Jerusalem.
