Activist Showcases 70 Israeli Destinations in Project for Israel’s Independence Day.

Rabbi-turned-designer Joseph Waks launched Project Seventy on February 8. Since then, he’s released one video a day highlighting various unique destinations throughout Israel. His selections include historical sites, cafes, zoos and cities, among other hotspots. The project — featuring Waks in the role of boisterous tour guide — will span 70 days and the last video will be released on Independence Day.

In an interview with The Algemeiner, Waks said that his goal was “to celebrate these places that people don’t usually get to see … and do it in my special way.”

“I just wanted to share my experience of Israel with the world. I come here every summer with my boys and I’m just marveled by this place,” he said. “We feel like it’s our backyard, it’s our front yard, it’s our lawn.” Click here for full article.
