Telling the story from the Jewish perspective, Jerusalem: The Covenant City recounts the biblical history of the city, looks at the modern day fulfillment of Old and New Testament prophecies, and offers a glimpse of what the future holds for one of the most hotly contested areas in the Middle East. Emphasizing that Jerusalem is “an irrevocable gift from God to the Jewish people,” one that is inextricably tied to their eternal destiny, the program offers insights into one side of the conflict over the region. Handsomely produced and beautifully photographed, the documentary also features historic art, newsreel footage, and interviews with Jerusalem's political officials and religious scholars. With its illustration of both historical and modern day events, this program does a terrific job of helping viewers understand the Jewish take on the complex issues surrounding Palestine and Israel today. Recommended. Aud: H, C, P. (L. Stevens)
