I had the video in VHS and felt it valuable enough to purchase in DVD format. Appreciated the dual format. Used first half for class and fast forwarded to specific pre-selected areas due to time constraint. The volume of information presented in a viewable format made it difficult to skip some areas and not lose content. Yet to show it all would not of been the best use of time as there are filler areas or areas that move a little slow. I made it available for the class to check out and it is on its rounds because what they saw and the format with which it was presented intrigued them to view the rest of the video. This video was also a pre-trip source of material for an educational trip to Israel. Having been to Israel the pictures of culture are a little dated. Jerusalem: Sacred and Profane In comparison the Sacred and Profane video moved extremely slow. I understand wwe.com (Winning with Encouragement with Walt Wiley) organization is working on a video of Israel and I look forward to its publication.

This DVD was very educational and explained the three world religions who hold ground in Jerusalem. This is a very good tool for Bible study and a good visual teaching aid. I enjoyed it very much.

If you are planning on going to Israel and visit the Old City of Jerusalem, this video is a must. This video does an excellent job of explaining the significance of the gates, along with their history, to better enhance your understanding of the Old City, with its separate quarters, entry ways, and cultures, all mixed within close quarters of one another. Understanding the gates is to understand the history of Jerusalem.

I was disappointed in this DVD. It was pretty boring and didn't give any of the spiritual symbolism of the gates of Jerusalem which is what I was looking for.

The DVD reminds me of something they would show on the History Channel for free. This is informational yet a bit boring and not quite what I had expected. Maybe a bit more pizzazz would help!

We received the DVD very quickly but the DVD did have a small nick or scratch that makes a scene jump slightly. The jump is not enough to be of any concern though, as
it skips over only one word. The history of each gate is very interesting and clearly
explained.
