here you can see hebrew text of the bible that are 2,000 years old. you can see the coins that bear witness to nearly 4,000 years of our presence in this land. you can see the candles we lit, the synagogues we prayed in during our long exile, but the story of israel is not simply the story of the passion. it's the story of a nation borne of a barron land brought back to life, of an ancient language revised, of an exiled people returned, of jewish sovereignty restored. we have a saying, mr. president, the people of israel lives -- the state of israel lives on, alive at ever. a thriving democracy, a powerful army, innovative, free economy and a proud, resilient people. mr. president, over the years israel has had many friends but israel has never had and will never have a better friend than . e united states of america [applause] that friendship is reflected in the overwhelming support of the american people. strong bipartisan support of the american congress, and the support of american presidents from harry truman to donald trump.

[ light laughter ] and, but i know what you are talking about. my cantor, cantor bornstein ate cottage cheese sandwiches and in the hebrew religion, it's very guttural, and i would say, baruch, and he would say, no it's baruch, and the cottage cheese would come -- [ audience groans ] by the end of my lesson, i looked like one of those ceilings in the valley.

feel a sense of the divine presence and it occurs one day before [ speaking in foreign language ] hebreway which marks 50 years since the reunification of jerusalem when this part of what was left of the great temple was captured by israelis. >> david gregory as we watch the president has separated from the women in the group from the first lady from ivanka trump and he's with the men now, including the rabbi of the western wall, shum shumelrabiovic, he is approaching the wall and after he was given instructions and looked at that map as you see and being told we believe the history, the significance of the western wall, you see his son-in-law jared kushner behind him there. he just stepped out of the frame but that is significant of course because jared kushner is who this president has tapped to lead in the u.s. role when it comes to trying to negotiate a peace accord between the israelis and the palestinians. let me bring in the rest of the panel as well. david rhode, this is a moment that has not happened before. >> it is. it's historic and it's impressive that he's sort of making th

based in israel, nalagaat, meaning "please touch" in hebrew, is the only professional deaf—blind actinging one hour out ofjerusalem to meet the groundbreaking group. jaffa is one of the oldest sea ports in the world. it is so old, they say thatjonah embarked from here before being eaten by the whale. the majority of locals are arab, but, these days, especially on the waterfront, it is becoming a gentrified haven for international tourists and day—trippers from tel aviv. but this area also has cutting—edge culture. nowhere pushes theatrical boundaries more than the world—famous nalagaat theatre group, based at this building for a decade now. you get an immediate grasp that this is an unusual venue if you venture into the black—out restaurant staffed by blind waiting staff in total darkness. or if you head to the coffee bar in the foyer. or even in school holidays, if you wander to the kids‘ workshops or performances. they are all in sign language. the concept of every work here is to take the disability and create an ability from it. this is the life experience of the people who work her

as i don't understand arabic, he talked to us in hebrew. >> people always talk about palestinian extremist. but what about israeli extremists i've never been inside these settlements that the israelis have been building all over the territories. so we decided to visit a leader of the settlement movement and someone david interviewed at the right wring rally in jerusalem. >> changing times here. 28 years, the majority of the people in the west bank are now jewish. and this was our goal. we are so desperate for peace. but the first step is to stopping the devil. only after stopping the devil, of course, the blocks, then we can move, of course. and then we will have the opportunity to work together and look for the solution. >> just to tell you, they say stop the occupation. that's what they say. they remove the occupation. >> part of the thinking is that everyone said like children, you be first, you be first. let's try together. >> when the palestinians would stop the terror, i will be the fighter to have the palestinians human rights. but we are making a comparison between our rights and t

so there's a verse in the book of hebrews, there's a chapter that's all about faith and the first verse defines faith as the evidence of what is not seen. and science is exactly the opposite. science is the evidence of what we do and can see. science tells us climate is changing for the first time in the history of the planet, it really is us, not a natural cycle, and science tells us that the more carbon we burn, the worse the impacts. but science can't tell us what way to go. it's like a compass. the compass tells you north and south, but it doesn't tell you, it's not a map. - a compass is not a map, right. - yes, it doesn't tell you what direction you want to go in. in the same way, science tells us what's happening, but faith is what says, "i want to make decisions "that minimize the suffering "for the poor and the vulnerable." that is my response to the facts the science gives us. - but is your sense, to go back to this distinction between the sort of theological evangelicalism and political evangelical. is your sense that the political evangelicals on this issue and other issues a

what he said very clearly was we will have one technique is the same word for rocking cradle in hebrew, you can rock a person you can shake them not by the lapels even because of too much whiplash. and the only time you can do that is when you have a suspect in custody revoke moral certainty that that person has information that you need and more certainty that there is a bomb -- bomb plot underway. it's very rare event. secret interrupt a ticking bomb and save lives. the only time you enhance the techniques is then. and then in the question and answer that followed unbelievably so trained in the keeping of information was asked what about this. do we hear. it's shaken so severely that he suffered a hemorrhage. he died at lake shaken baby syndrome. he said this cannot be that technique because we've used it in 8,000 cases and only had one death and everybody said, 8,000? the jack bauer's show. it's just not real world. and when it came out after further inquiry it turned out that they have actually employed up 20,000 times. in a people have died. so what i'm trying to say is not the an

you know what i said that un resolution that the western wall, the hebrew university, the jewish quarter are all illegally occupied territories. it was absurd. it's nonsense. liz: why was it absurd? >> because the un set aside various national including bethlehem and jerusalem. jordan violated by attacking genocide and then attacked again in '67. israel recaptured it and liberated jerusalem. the idea that what israel liberated is illegally occupied territory, i don't believe obama believes that. i don't believe kerrie believes that and yet they did not veto. liz: obama let that un resolution stand. i hear what you're saying. president trump is the first president to visit the western wall. how will it be viewed throughout the world? >> i think positively he struck a compromise. obviously it would have been better and stronger, had he gone there with either the president or the prime minister of israel, but he didn't. he went there with i see had wife and son-in-law. he sent a powerful message by going to the western wall. but i think more can be done. i hope before his term he understand

this is in hebrew [ speaking in foreign language ] the 50th anniversary of the reunification so it marks the time israeli forces recaptured the western wall, which is the westernmost wall of the second temple, where ancient jews would go to offer acsfis asacrifice a high priests would enter into the holy of the holys for official sacramental reasons. that was destroyed. the jews were exiled into babylon and ultimately the second temple destroyed later by the romans. this is the heartbeat of judaism in the world. jews pray at the wall, but we pray toward ju ruse lem. psalm 137 talks about jews in excite. if we ever forget you, jerusalem, should my right hand wither. it's important religiously and sends a powerful message to jews around the world and also to evangelical christians who are an important part of the president's base for some unity is important to them religiously and church of the holy sepulchre where jesus is said to be crucified underscores why it is an ancient and holy and contested city because of those holy sites, and the president is wading into all of that to send a ve

there's more than 600 references in the hebrew bible to jerusalem. it is contained and it is holy of the holy and in the ten commandme commandments. we pray and the psalms. it sends a powerful message that it can be a distasteful signal with the palestinians. >> tony, he is drawing clear lines. he is going alone. he is not going with the prime minister of israel. he wants to distinguish he is not making official recognition the western wall is part of israel. it is private visit we are told. he will pray there. the administration will not make these bold statements about it. you know, visually important, but still within certain confines, tony. >> that is right. it is fraught for the reasons david said. the three great faiths that lay claim to jerusalem. jerusalem is the final status issue with the israelis and palestinians. putting the thumb on the scale in any way may make it more difficult to get to the agreement. it could undermine the progress the president believes he made with the sunni/arab states. >> should he not go there? >> is a delicate

say read strauss, to understand politics and culture, read crystal, foreign policy, kissinger, the hebrew bible but if someone were to ask you to read to understand all of these disciplines, the answer is read norman podhoretz. all the rest, is dare i say it.

a letter from a third grade student at the brooklyn friends school and the cane street synagogue hebrew school, named elijah. elijah wrote that at our synagogue we learn that welcoming a stranger is an important mitzvah. i know that my people were immigrants and sometimes refugees trying to find a new home in the u.s.a. so it is important to me that we extend our welcome to refugees from haiti. elijah is right. the people of haiti have suffered through numerous tragedies over the past few years alone. they have experienced a devastating and catastrophic rth cake, tragic cholera epidemic, ongoing food scarcity crisis, deadly hurricanes, and continued flooding. for these reasons, the obama administration designated haiti for temporary protected status in 2010 and redesignated it four times thereafter. however, haiti's t.p.s. designation will expire in july if the administration does not act immediately. that's why i organized with my colleagues of the congressional black caucus and called for d.h.s. secretary, john kelly, to redesignate haiti for an additional 18 months of t.p.s. we also
