Faith in the Holy Land -- the Druze community
This video takes you on a journey to the roots of monotheistic beliefs and portrays aspects of monotheism in the Holy Land in the twenty-first century.
All faiths see Israel as the Holy Land and have special rituals and holy places that are sacred only to them. At the same time, what might constitute a ritual for a specific religion might not be regarded sacred by another.
Are we able to look past these cultural differences and recognize that we are all human beings living symbiotically in the land of Israel? Over twenty religious leaders share their point of view and offer us a glimpse to their world, rituals, and way of life.

Returning from the battlefield, meet the Druze army unit who began fighting heavy battles on the first day of the war, miraculously, they return home not a single soldier wounded. 2006/08/15 2'12
