Stories from Jerusalem
As a tour guide in Jerusalem, I have developed many tours with different themes, that take you all around the city and sometimes we travel further out to other interesting historical places.
If you have an interest in the history of Jerusalem, then you should definitely enjoy these stories and hopefully you will join one or more tours with me in the future!

All water has perfect memory, interview with author Nada Samih-Rotondo
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Nada is a Palestinian-American author, teacher and mother. She was six years old when her mother kidnapped her from Kuwait, at the time when Iraq invaded Kuwait. They went to the United States where her uncle lived in Rhode Island. She did not yet realize that it was not a holiday but they were going to stay.
Her debut book All Water Has a Perfect Memory is a memoir that takes readers from the author’s ancestral origins- the coast of Yaffa, Palestine, to her birthplace of Kuwait, eventually landing on the shores of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island.
The narrative confronts generations of silence and, ultimately, revelation with an imaginative blend of folklore and history that explores the relationship between our bodies, ancestors, and the Earth. The work explores the way the author is intertwined with her maternal line while reuniting with her father after a 30-year separation.
Voices once hidden in the waters of our bodies are amplified and released to forever alter the landscape, breaking cycles and seeding an audacious hope interconnected to lands past and present.
