Caption transcript for “Behind the Scenes”

• 00:16 BRETHREN, MY HEART'S DESIRE AND PRAYER TO GOD FOR ISRAEL
• 00:20 IS THAT THEY MIGHT BE SAVED.
• 00:23 THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE JEW AND THE GREEK
• 00:26 FOR THE SAME LORD OVER ALL IS RICH UNTO ALL THAT CALL UPON HIM.
• 00:38 WITH DR. JEFFREY SEIF
• 00:41 HEARTY SHALOM TO ALL OF YOU
• 00:44 JEFFREY SEIF HERE
• 00:45 I'M PLEASED TO WELCOME YOU
• 00:47 TO A SPECIAL, SPECIAL, SPECIAL
• 00:48 EDITION OF ZOLA LEVITT PRESENTS.
• 00:51 THIS IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BEHIND THE SCENES
• 00:53 TO LET YOU KNOW WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF TELEVISION.
• 00:57 IT'S MORE THAN JUST A TALKING HEAD ATTEMPTING TO ACT ELOQUENT
• 01:00 BUT RATHER WHEN WE COME ISRAEL, AND I'M COMING TO YOU FROM ISRAEL RIGHT NOW,
• 01:04 THERE'S A LOT THAT GOES ON IN ADVANCE OF IT
• 01:07 MUCH AS THERE'S A LOT THAT'S HAPPENING HERE ON THE GROUND
• 01:10 IN ORDER TO PUT TOGETHER A PROGRAM THAT COMES REPLETE WITH
• 01:13 HOPEFULLY GOOD BIBLE INFORMATION, GOOD DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENTS,
• 01:17 TAKING YOU TO LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE AREA.
• 01:21 COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT MY FRIEND KEN BERG WHO'S HERE RIGHT NOW AS WELL, OUR PRODUCER
• 01:26 WHO ON THIS TRIP CELEBRATES 50 TRIPS TO ISRAEL...KEN BERG.
• 01:32 50 TRIPS... THAT'S AMAZING ISN'T IT?
• 01:35 I STILL REMEMBER MY FIRST TRIP.
• 01:37 YOU KNOW EVERY TIME I COME IT'S
• 01:39 LIKE MY FIRST TIME OVER HERE.
• 01:40 THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THIS LAND THAT'S LIKE A MAGNET, IT DRAWS ME.
• 01:44 AND I LOVE WORKING HERE, I LOVE WORKING WITH YOU
• 01:47 AND ON THIS PROGRAM OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO GET SOME BEHIND THE SCENES LOOKS
• 01:51 AT SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO WE DEAL WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS
• 01:54 THAT THE VIEWERS ARE PROBABLY INTERESTED I THINK IN SEEING.
• 01:57 WE HAVE THIS GREAT SERIES COMING UP WHICH YOU KNOW ABOUT
• 02:00 BECAUSE YOU'RE VERY MUCH A PART OF IT,
• 02:02 "SAR SHALOM, PRINCE OF PEACE".
• 02:04 WHY DON'T YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT
• 02:07 AND I'LL TALK ABOUT WHO'S INVOLVED IN THAT.
• 02:09 OKAY, THEN YOU'LL INTRODUCE "JESUS".
• 02:11 I'LL INTRODUCE "JESUS"
• 02:12 BUT TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR VISION FOR THIS SERIES. RIGHT
• 02:15 IT'S ALWAYS A CHALLENGE FINDING "JESUS" AND KEN GOT THE PERFECT GUY TO REPRESENT HIM FOR US
• 02:20 AND HE'LL TELL YOU ABOUT THAT.
• 02:22 WE IN MAKING A SERIES HAVE TO ASK THE QUESTION PRAYERFULLY AND CAREFULLY,
• 02:27 "LORD WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE US TO DO WITH THE RESOURCES THAT ARE PROVIDED?"
• 02:31 WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD?
• 02:32 WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE WORD?
• 02:34 AND HOW CAN WE GET TO WORK ON THE MANUFACTURE OF A STORY
• 02:37 THAT WILL SHOW SOME MONTHS AFTER WE BEGIN THE PROCESS?
• 02:41 YOU KNOW A PASTOR CAN SENSE WHAT'S HAPPENING IN A CHURCH AND IN THE CULTURE
• 02:45 AND GOES INTO STUDY AND PRAYER AND COMES OUT WITH THE MESSAGE ON A WEEKLY BASIS,
• 02:48 HOPEFULLY THAT'S APROPOS
• 02:50 BUT WE HAVE TO WORK THE QUESTIONS
• 02:52 AND IN ORDER TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT THAT WILL COME OUT MONTHS LATER.
• 02:56 IT BEGINS WITH PRAYERFULLY AND CAREFULLY LOOKING WHAT ARE THE STORIES.
• 03:00 WE THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE WE'RE PEOPLE CONCERNED ABOUT EVIL IN THE PRESENT AGE
• 03:05 AND SO WE LOOKED AT THE ANTI-CHRIST IN A THE PREVIOUS SERIES.
• 03:07 WE NEED TO LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT
• 03:09 IN THINKING THAT THERE MAY BE SOME BREAK IN THE DARK CLOUDS,
• 03:12 WE THOUGHT THE CULTURE MIGHT BE IN THE MOOD TO HAVE SOMETHING MORE INSPIRATIONAL
• 03:16 RATHER THAN SOMETHING RIVETING AND SOMEWHAT TERRIFYING AND SO WHY NOT?
• 03:20 IT'S CHRISTIAN TELEVISION ANYWAY SO WHY NOT DO A STORY ON JESUS?
• 03:24 SO MANY OF US ARE SO VEXED ABOUT PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCES,
• 03:30 I THOUGHT WE'D DO WELL TO RE-VISIT THE PERSON OF JESUS
• 03:33 WHO'S OUR SAVIOR AND HELPER AND SHIELD,
• 03:35 WHO IS THE ONE WHO SAYS I'LL NEVER FAIL YOU OR FORSAKE YOU,
• 03:38 WHO'S THE ONE WHO SAYS, "I'LL BE WITH YOU ALWAYS TO THE END OF THE AGE",
• 03:42 WHO'S THE ONE WHO LOVES US AND CARES ABOUT US AND HAS A GREAT PLAN FOR OUR LIFE.
• 03:45 WHAT I WANTED TO DO WAS LOOK AT HIS SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
• 03:48 WHAT I CALL "TORAH ON THE TOP"
• 03:50 AND I WANTED TO UNPACK SOME OF THE PARTICULARS THERE OF WHAT JESUS WANTS FROM US
• 03:55 BECAUSE I THINK THIS SERMON SUMS IT UP SO WELL WHAT IT IS THAT HE WANTS FROM US
• 04:00 AND THEN WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM HIM.
• 04:02 THERE IS THAT LITTLE PROMISE IN THERE THAT IS SO DELIGHTFUL WHERE HE SAYS,
• 04:06 "IF YOU SEEK FIRST GOD'S KINGDOM AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS"
• 04:09 "THAN EVERYTHING ELSE WILL BE ADDED UNTO YOU."
• 04:13 WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO JUST PREACH THAT PROMISE,
• 04:15 I WANTED TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT
• 04:17 AS WELL AS ALL OF THE CONCERNS THAT ARE PACKED INTO THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT
• 04:21 AND SO WE WORKED IT UP INTO 24 TEACHING SEGMENTS
• 04:25 WHAT AMOUNTS TO 8 PROGRAMS,
• 04:27 WE PICKED VARIOUS LOCATIONS,
• 04:30 WE WORKED ON VARIOUS DRAMAS TO RE-ENACT SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL STORIES ON THE SERMON.
• 04:34 WE THINK YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT AND WHEN I SAY "WE" I REALLY MEAN "WE" NOT ME.
• 04:39 I'VE LEARNED THIS IS A CORPORATE VENTURE AND SO I COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT KEN BERG
• 04:45 AND WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU HELPING US
• 04:47 AND WE'RE REALLY APPRECIATIVE FOR THAT.
• 04:49 YOU'RE NOT JUST HELPING US;
• 04:51 HOPEFULLY YOU'RE HELPING THE WORLD TO SEE JESUS AND JESUS FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 04:55 SO THERE'S SOMETHING OF AN INTRO TO "BEHIND THE SCENES".
• 04:57 YOU WANT TO WEIGH IN ON ANYTHING BEYOND?
• 04:59 WELL TO THAT POINT OF SHOWING THE JEWISHNESS OF JESUS
• 05:03 WE THOUGHT IT ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE AN ISRAELI WHO'S SPEAKING IN HEBREW,
• 05:09 VERY CLOSE TO WHAT IT WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE AND SOUNDED LIKE WHEN JESUS WAS ACTUALLY THERE.
• 05:15 SO AFTER A SEARCH WE CAME UP WITH SHAHAR...IS THE NAME OF THE ACTOR...
• 05:20 AND WE TOOK HIM ON LOCATION HERE IN ISRAEL WHERE HE GIVES THIS SERMON ON THE MOUNT.
• 05:29 WHAT WAS SURPRISING TO ALL OF US
• 05:31 IS THAT SHAHAR IS NOT A BELIEVER
• 05:34 BUT IN THE COURSE OF THE PRODUCING OF THIS PROGRAM
• 05:37 HE HAD QUESTIONS AND HE HAD GREAT INSIGHTS
• 05:42 AND I THINK AS TIME GOES ALONG WE'RE GOING TO FIND SHAHAR COMES CLOSER TO THE LORD.
• 05:48 WE ASK THAT ALL THE VIEWERS PRAY FOR HIM,
• 05:52 HE IS VERY INTERESTED IN THIS ROLE AND THE PERSON OF JESUS.
• 05:56 AND LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT HIM NOW.
• 06:00 I REALLY FEEL INSPIRED
• 06:02 TO DO WORK AROUND THE RECONCILIATION OF...
• 06:08 AROUND JEWS AND CHRISTIANS.
• 06:12 IF I WERE TO DISTILL
• 06:14 OR TO REALLY PUT WHAT IS IT THAT REALLY DRAWS ME TO WORK LIKE THIS...
• 06:20 BECAUSE I DO FEEL THAT THERE'S AN IMMEDIATE EXTENSION
• 06:23 AND AN IMMEDIATE CLOSENESS BETWEEN THE TWO PEOPLE.
• 06:28 IF I WERE TO NAME 3 MOST IMPORTANT TEXTS
• 06:32 THAT I THINK THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND ARE A WAY TO LEAD ONE'S LIFE
• 06:41 IT WOULD BE MOSES AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,
• 06:45 JESUS AND THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT,
• 06:47 AND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.
• 06:49 A LOT OF THE CHRISTIANS DEAL WITH THE CRUCIFIXION
• 06:54 BUT YET THE SERMON FOR ME WHEN I READ THE WORK AND I READ THE WORD,
• 06:59 THE SERMON IS THE HEART OF THE WORD.
• 07:02 THE SERMON HAS ALL THE TRUTH THAT ONE NEEDS TO FOLLOW THE PATH.
• 07:08 IF YOU LOOK JUST AT THE MAN, AT YESHUA, JESUS,
• 07:13 HE WAS A DEVOUT JEWISH RABBI, A SCHOLAR AND HE FOLLOWED IN HIS LIFETIME...
• 07:23 HE ONLY FOLLOWED THE JEWISH LAW.
• 07:25 FOR ME IT'S ALWAYS...MY CHRISTIAN FRIENDS IN AMERICA
• 07:30 I ALWAYS TELL THEM IF YOU REALLY EXPERIENCE JESUS FOR INSTANCE,
• 07:32 COME WITH ME TO PASSOVER
• 07:35 BECAUSE THAT WAS HIS FINAL MEAL
• 07:37 THAT WE'LL KNOW REALLY TO TAP INTO THE SOURCE
• 07:40 OF WHERE HIS IDEAS OR WHERE HIS BEING COMES FROM...
• 07:45 TO FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MUST DIVE INTO JUDAISM,
• 07:48 I MEAN THERE'S NO WAY AROUND,
• 07:50 AND THE FACT THAT THAT'S BEING HIDDEN, KEPT AWAY FROM MOST CHRISTIANS IS SAD,
• 07:58 BUT I THINK THAT NOW THERE'S AN OPENING, I THINK THAT WE'RE AT A NEW AGE NOW
• 08:03 WHERE MANY, MANY CHRISTIANS, GENTILES IN GENERAL
• 08:08 CAN BRIDGE AND FOLLOW THE REAL MAN AND WHAT HE PRACTICED.
• 08:14 BY DOING SO THEY WOULD GET CLOSER TO THE ESSENCE OF GOD.
• 08:22 SHAHAR IS A GREAT GUY ISN'T HE?
• 08:24 AND I KNOW YOU'RE BLESSED THROUGH HIS MINISTRY HERE IN THIS PROGRAM.
• 08:27 I'M THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO COME TO YOU AS A JEW WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS
• 08:30 AND THANK YOU FOR GETTING BEHIND ME
• 08:32 AND HELPING SUPPORT THE TESTIMONY OF LOOKING AT THE BIBLE FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE.
• 08:36 IT'S A DREAM FOR ME TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
• 08:38 I'VE SERVED AS A BIBLE AND MINISTRY PROFESSOR FOR 20 YEARS AND NOW HERE.
• 08:42 AND SPEAKING FOR YEARS AND YEARS,
• 08:44 MY PRODUCER, OUR PRODUCER, KEN BERG
• 08:47 HAS WORKED 30 PLUS YEARS TEACHING THE BIBLE FROM A JEWISH PERSPECTIVE
• 08:51 ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LENS,
• 08:53 COMES FROM A MINISTRY FAMILY,
• 08:55 YOUR MOM, ALL OF HER SISTERS MARRIED PASTORS,
• 08:58 YOUR FATHER WAS AN ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CLERGYMAN,
• 09:01 THE FIRST ASSEMBLIES OF GOD CHAPLAIN IN WORLD WAR II CORRECT?
• 09:05 YES HE WAS.
• 09:06 A STRONG MINISTRY FAMILY
• 09:07 YES, RAISED IN A WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN HOME.
• 09:09 BUT YOU KNOW JEFF EVEN THOUGH I WAS RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN HOME
• 09:14 I NEVER I UNDERSTOOD MY JEWISH ROOTS OF CHRISTIANITY
• 09:18 UNTIL WORKING WITH THIS MINISTRY AND ZOLA LEVITT.
• 09:21 FIRST TIME I CAME HERE TO ISRAEL LIKE I SAID
• 09:24 I WAS JUST GALVANIZED BY WHAT'S HERE
• 09:27 AND THE PIECES BEGAN TO COME TOGETHER IN A WAY THEY NEVER HAD BEFORE
• 09:32 SO ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE A CHRISTIAN BACKGROUND
• 09:35 I FEEL I'M PART JEWISH NOW TOO AFTER THESE MANY YEARS IN ISRAEL
• 09:39 AND WORKING WITH ZOLA AND NOW WITH YOU.
• 09:42 MOST JEWISH PEOPLE IN A LIFETIME
• 09:43 NEVER COME TO ISRAEL 50 TIMES.
• 09:45 WELL...YEAH IT IS AMAZING.
• 09:48 I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S BEEN 50 TRIPS...
• 09:50 OF COURSE THAT'S OVER 30 YEARS
• 09:52 SO THAT'S ABOUT AVERAGING I GUESS 2 TRIPS A YEAR
• 09:55 OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
• 09:56 SO IT'S BEEN GREAT
• 09:59 AND YOU KNOW EVERY SERIES WE DO
• 10:01 WE REALLY HAVE TO TAKE TIME TO THANK THE VIEWERS FOR THIS
• 10:06 BECAUSE THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF OUR BEING HERE,
• 10:09 THEY ARE THE SOURCE
• 10:10 OF THE PRODUCTION VALUE
• 10:11 THAT WE TRY TO BRING TO THE PROGRAM
• 10:13 AND WE REALLY DO TRY TO RAISE THE BAR
• 10:15 WITH EACH SERIES THAT WE DO.
• 10:17 MAKE EACH ONE A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
• 10:19 AND I THINK THIS ONE COMING UP
• 10:20 ON JESUS AND THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS THE BEST YET.
• 10:24 AND I HAVE TO ATTRIBUTE A GREAT DEAL OF THAT TO THE LOCAL PEOPLE THAT WE WORK WITH.
• 10:31 ELIA SIDES IS A LOCAL PRODUCER HERE IN ISRAEL THAT I'VE WORKED WITH FOR MANY YEARS.
• 10:36 I LOVE THE GUY, HE'S LIKE A BROTHER TO ME
• 10:39 AND I'D LIKE YOU TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT FROM ELIA AT THIS POINT.
• 10:43 99 PER CENT OF MY WORK
• 10:44 IS FOR PRODUCTIONS FROM ABROAD.
• 10:47 I WORK WITH NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
• 10:49 OF VARIOUS THEMES
• 10:50 ALMOST 2 A YEAR.
• 10:52 I WORK WITH CHANNEL 4 AND BBC
• 10:54 DO UNDERWATER FILMS.
• 10:56 DESERT FILMS, NATURE CONSERVATION,
• 10:58 A LOT OF HISTORY AND ARCHAEOLOGY.
• 11:00 WORK FOR PBS, WITH NOVA, DISCOVERY,
• 11:03 WITH...THERE IS SO MANY OF THEM,
• 11:07 WITH THE ITALIAN TELEVISION DOING FEATURE FILMS.
• 11:10 BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE WORKING WITH THIS PRODUCTION IN THIS BUSINESS
• 11:16 BECAUSE THIS PRODUCTION...WHEN I SAID I'M WORKING IT'S NOT MYSELF,
• 11:19 I'M WORKING WITH A TEAM OF PEOPLE WHICH IS THE BEST GROUP I'VE EVER HAD.
• 11:22 IT IS A PEOPLE THAT WE'VE BECAME FRIENDS AND WE WORK TOGETHER
• 11:25 AND WE MEET TOGETHER EVEN AFTER THIS PRODUCTION IS OVER.
• 11:28 WE MEET EACH OTHER AS FRIENDS.
• 11:29 IT'S EVERYBODY TO THEM...IT'S A FAMILY PRODUCTION ACTUALLY.
• 11:33 WE ARE A FAMILY THAT'S DOING SOMETHING TOGETHER
• 11:35 AND IT'S THE BEST TEAM I EVER WORKED WITH
• 11:38 AND IT'S THE BEST RESULTS WE GET OUT OF IT
• 11:41 AS A FAMILY ACTS TOGETHER TO CREATE SOMETHING THAT THEY BELIEVE IN.
• 11:45 WE WORK ON A VERY LOW BUDGET AND YET WE REACH A VERY HIGH PRODUCTION VALUE
• 11:50 BECAUSE WE DO IT WITH LOVE, WITH PATIENCE
• 11:53 AND IN A WAY WE FEEL THAT WE ARE IN A MESSAGE,
• 11:55 WE ARE IN A MISSION ACTUALLY TO TELL THIS STORY.
• 11:59 THERE'S NOT MUCH MONEY OF COURSE TO OTHER PRODUCTIONS THAT I'VE BEEN WORKING
• 12:02 AND I'M STILL WORKING WITH, FOREIGN PRODUCTIONS AND DOING THINGS IN ISRAEL.
• 12:06 IT'S A VERY TIGHT BUDGET BUT WE DO IT, AS I SAID BEFORE WITH FEELING OF...
• 12:11 WE DELIVER OURSELVES AND WE BRING THE IDEA OF CARRYING THE STORY AND BRINGING IT TO YOU
• 12:18 BECAUSE IT'S WHAT YOU CAN DONATE MONEY FOR THIS PROGRAM WHICH WE USE EVERY CENT FOR...
• 12:23 JUST TO GET THE BEST PRODUCTION VALUE WE CAN GET OUT OF IT
• 12:27 AND IT'S VERY IMPORTANT...
• 12:28 YOU KEEP THE FLAME AND THE FIRE BURNING WITH THIS.
• 12:32 AND ANY OTHER PRODUCTION WOULD PROBABLY COST 10 TIMES MORE TO DO IT
• 12:36 BUT WE DO IT WITH A LOT OF LOVE WHICH IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF IT...WITH LOVE.
• 12:43 PRE-PRODUCTIONS I THINK
• 12:44 FIRST AND FOREMOST
• 12:46 STARTS WITH COMMUNICATION
• 12:48 TRYING TO COMMUNICATE ACROSS CONTINENTS WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WOULD LIKE
• 12:52 AND WHAT'S THE FEEL YOU WANT.
• 12:55 AND THEN TOGETHER WE TRY AND FIND THE SOLUTION TO SAY WHAT IT IS THAT YOU WANT TO SAY
• 13:01 WITHIN CONSTRAINTS OF BUDGETS, DISTANCE, NUMBER OF EXTRAS, ETC., ETC.
• 13:06 SO IT INVOLVES A LOT OF SEARCHING FOR LOCATIONS,
• 13:10 A LOT OF PLAYING AROUND WITH DIFFERENT IDEAS
• 13:14 UNTIL WE SORT OF SETTLE ON WHAT'S GOING TO WORK AND WHAT WILL BE VIABLE.
• 13:19 AS ALWAYS, YOU COME UP WITH A CHALLENGE AND WE TRY AND ACCOMMODATE
• 13:25 AND WE TRY AND DO IT WITHIN A VERY STRICT BUDGET RECYCLING FROM ONE PROGRAM TO THE OTHER.
• 13:32 SOMETIMES A PALACE TURNS INTO A BOAT AND SOMETIMES A VINEYARD BECOMES AN ALTAR OR WHATEVER.
• 13:42 A LOT OF IT IS GUESS WORK AND INTUITION
• 13:46 AND THANK GOD THAT WE HAVE BIODEGRADABLE MATERIALS AND NO ONE CAN PROVE US WRONG.
• 13:51 FISHERMEN I DON'T THINK WERE AFFLUENT ENOUGH TO AFFORD A CARPENTER TO BUILD A WOODEN BOAT
• 13:56 AND IT'S NOT THE KIND OF KNOWLEDGE THAT ANY FISHERMAN WOULD HAVE.
• 13:59 WHEREAS AS REED BOATS WERE USED FROM TURKEY DOWN TO MESOPOTAMIA...
• 14:05 BUT WE TRY TO BE....WHERE THERE ARE NOT ANSWERS
• 14:11 WE JUST HAVE TO SEE THAT WHATEVER WE'RE DOING IS ACTUALLY FUNCTIONAL
• 14:14 AND IS PROBABLY THE SOLUTION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN REACHED,
• 14:19 HAVING THE TOOLS AND THE MATERIALS OF THOSE TIMES.
• 14:21 AND LIVING THAT IS FUN.
• 14:24 YOU HAVE DEDICATED CREW AND PEOPLE THAT WORK WELL TOGETHER
• 14:28 AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING TOGETHER FOR QUITE A NUMBER OF PROGRAMS NOW
• 14:32 WHICH MAKES US THAT MUCH MORE EFFICIENT
• 14:34 AND WE ENJOY WHAT WE DO
• 14:39 SO IF WE'RE NOT HAVING FUN AND WE'RE NOT DOING HOLLYWOOD AS YOU SAY THEN WHY BOTHER?
• 14:43 WE ALWAYS WANTED TO HAVE A DOLLY WHICH GIVES THE ABILITY TO PUT A CAMERA IN MOTION
• 14:49 WHICH MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK JUST SO MUCH BETTER.
• 14:52 BUT NEVER HAD THE BUDGET FOR THE DOLLY AND THE CREW
• 14:55 AND THE TRUCK AND EVERYTHING THAT'S NEEDED TO COME WITH IT.
• 14:58 SO WE BOUNCED AROUND THE IDEA OF PERHAPS MAKING ONE BY OURSELVES
• 15:02 AND WE FOUND ON THE INTERNET A DESIGN FOR WHAT'S CALLED A "DOORWAY DOLLY"
• 15:06 WHICH IS SIMPLY LIKE ROLLER SKATES ON A BOARD CONNECTED TO TWO PIPES.
• 15:11 BEFORE THAT WE TRIED USING A WHEEL CHAIR WHICH GAVE US SORT OF LIMITED SUCCESS.
• 15:16 BUT WE WENT AHEAD AND WE BUILT A DOLLY WHICH COST US ALL OF 300 OR 400 HUNDRED DOLLARS
• 15:21 WHICH IS A LOT OUT OF OUR SMALL BUDGET
• 15:24 AND OUR CAMERA MAN, JERRY, HAD INPUT HOW TO IMPROVE IT
• 15:28 AND FROM SHOW TO SHOW WE ADDED LENGTH AND ADDED SUPPORTS
• 15:31 AND WE THINK WE'VE GOT IT DOWN NOW AND WE HAVE OUR OWN DOLLY!
• 15:36 AND ACTUALLY I FEEL BLESSED
• 15:39 TO BE A PART OF THE TEAM,
• 15:40 PART OF THE STAFF,
• 15:42 WONDERFUL STAFF.
• 15:44 AND THIS IS MY FIRST CONTACT, PERSONAL CONTACT WITH THE CHRISTIAN IDEA.
• 16:00 AS A JEWISH GIRL WHO WAS BORN IN ISRAEL, I'M ISRAELI AND I JUST LEARNED STUFF
• 16:08 AND WHAT AMAZED ME ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF THIS FILM
• 16:14 THAT BOTTOM LINE ALL OF US BELIEVE IN THE SAME ISSUES.
• 16:22 I WAS RAISED IN A VERY ORTHODOX FAMILY AND MY FATHER IS A REALLY HASID
• 16:31 WITH THE BEARD AND THE TYPICAL JEWISH GUY
• 16:36 AND WHEN HE WAS A CHILD HE WAS RAISED BY CHRISTIANS,
• 16:43 WONDERFUL PEOPLE WHO SAVED HIS LIFE IN THE HOLOCAUST
• 16:50 AND I'M HERE BECAUSE OF THEM ACTUALLY.
• 16:54 AND TO SEE YOU ALL COME HERE TO TELL THE STORY OF JESUS AND HIS JEWISH SOURCE
• 17:06 AND HIS CONNECTIONS TO GOD
• 17:10 AND HIS SPECIAL SAYING ABOUT HUMAN BEING, ABOUT BELIEVE,
• 17:15 ABOUT TO BE A GOOD PERSON INSIDE AND OUTSIDE
• 17:19 AND IT'S REALLY... I'M SPEECHLESS.
• 17:27 ACTUALLY SHAHAR TOLD ME THAT THE STORY YOU'RE TRYING TO BRING IN THIS MOVIE,
• 17:36 THE STORY OF JESUS BEFORE HE BECAME MESSIAH...YOU SAY?
• 17:42 AND I REMEMBER THE SCENE THAT WE'RE TURNING AROUND THE HOUSE
• 17:54 AND THE THING IS WE DON'T HAVE TO LOOK AROUND,
• 17:59 WE JUST HAVE TO KNOCK ON THE DOOR AND THE ANSWER IS JUST THERE.
• 18:03 AND IN JUDAISM WE HAVE THE SAME THING
• 18:07 AND I THINK THAT THAT'S THE POINT,
• 18:13 THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT I'M TAKING FROM THIS EXPERIENCE..
• 18:24 IT'S GOING TO BE A SCENE ABOUT A FISHING VILLAGE.
• 18:32 WE'RE GOING SEE A LOT OF FISHES
• 18:34 AND VERY NICE - WE ARE ON THE BEACH OF THE KINNERET,
• 18:40 I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT JEWS KNOW
• 18:45 THAT SOME OF CHRISTIANS REALLY CARE ABOUT HIS SOURCE.
• 18:50 AND BECAUSE MANY OF US, I KNOW FOR EXAMPLE, ME...
• 18:57 I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THE CHRISTIANS CHERISH HIS JEWISH SOURCE
• 19:08 AND THIS IS TOTALLY A SURPRISE FOR ME.
• 19:13 YOU'RE GOING TO NOW BE INTRODUCED TO DANNY CARMEL,
• 19:15 A FASCINATING INDIVIDUAL,
• 19:17 A JEWISH GUY WHO CAME TO FAITH IN THE LORD,
• 19:19 A BOAT CAPTAIN ACTUALLY ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 19:22 HE MUST HAVE HAD ONE TOO MANY TRIPS,
• 19:24 HE RAN INTO SO MANY BELIEVERS WHO LOVED THE LORD AND LOVED ISRAEL,
• 19:26 HE FIGURED IF YOU CAN'T BEAT THEM, JOIN THEM.
• 19:29 WELL HE DID, HE CAME TO FAITH THROUGH YOU AND THROUGH YOUR VISITS.
• 19:32 WE'RE GOING TO HEAR FROM HIM AND THEN YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR HIM MINISTER IN SONG.
• 19:37 MY NAME IS DANIEL
• 19:39 AND I'M A BELIEVER FROM GALILEE
• 19:41 AND ACTUALLY I'M THE ONLY BOAT THAT BELONGS TO BELIEVERS ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 19:45 I MET THE LORD DOING MY WORK AS A BOAT CAPTAIN HERE ON THE SEA OF GALILEE.
• 19:52 I'VE BEEN WORKING HERE FOR 15 YEARS
• 19:54 AND 2 YEARS AGO THE LORD ALLOWED ME TO BRING THIS BOAT INTO THE LAKE
• 19:58 AND TO START THIS COMPANY, "SEA OF GALILEE WORSHIP BOATS".
• 20:04 I WAS BORN IN 1964 IN HAIFA
• 20:09 AND MY MOTHER WAS A VERY YOUNG ORTHODOX JEWISH GIRL,
• 20:12 SHE WAS ONLY 15 AND SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO GIVE ME UP FOR ADOPTION
• 20:17 AND THEN I STAYED IN HAIFA WITH MY ADOPTING PARENTS,
• 20:20 THE BEST PARENTS ON EARTH,
• 20:22 AND I GREW UP LIKE ANY REGULAR KIDS.
• 20:26 AFTER THE ARMY I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE SEA AND THEN I WENT TO A MARINE SCHOOL.
• 20:30 AND WHEN I GRADUATED I FOUND A JOB IN HAIFA PORT,
• 20:33 AT THE AGE OF 28 I DECIDED TO OPEN THE FILES OF THE ADOPTION AND TO FIND MY BIRTH MOTHER
• 20:40 AND I FOUND HER RIGHT HERE IN GALILEE.
• 20:42 AND BESIDES HER I FOUND ALSO FOUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS.
• 20:47 A YEAR AFTER THAT I JUST LEFT HAIFA AND I CAME OVER HERE TO LIVE IN GALILEE,
• 20:51 OF COURSE MY PARENTS AND MY ADOPTED SISTER WAS A PART OF THE PICTURE
• 20:55 AND WE BECAME A BIG FAMILY ALL TOGETHER.
• 20:58 AND I WAS LOOKING FOR A JOB
• 21:00 AND THE ONLY JOB THAT I COULD FIND HERE ON THE SEA OF GALILEE WAS ON THE SEA OF GALILEE BOATS,
• 21:06 NO OTHER CHOICE AS A BOAT CAPTAIN.
• 21:08 SINCE THE FIRST DAY I WAS WORKING ON THE SEA OF GALILEE BOATS,
• 21:15 I WAS EXPOSED TO THE WORD OF GOD EVERY DAY,
• 21:19 I HEARD THE GOOD NEWS, HALLELUJAH.
• 21:23 I HEARD THE TEACHING,
• 21:25 I HEARD THE WORSHIP,
• 21:28 BUT MOST OF ALL I COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE
• 21:30 AND THAT'S WHAT DREW ME IN,
• 21:32 5 YEARS AFTER I STARTED WORKING HERE I JUST WOKE UP WITH GREAT LOVE TO YESHUA.
• 21:36 AND THEN I STARTED MY WORSHIP MINISTRY
• 21:41 AND I HAVE TRANSLATED VERY POPULAR WORSHIP SONGS TO HEBREW
• 21:45 AND I DID IT FOR TOURISM.
• 21:47 FIRST OF ALL I DID IT FOR THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL;
• 21:49 YOU KNOW MOST OF THEM DON'T KNOW YESHUA AND MUSIC IS A VERY GOOD INSTRUMENT TO DRAW PEOPLE.
• 21:55 YOU KNOW HEBREW IS THE FIRST LANGUAGE.
• 21:58 HEBREW IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE LORD.
• 22:00 AND PERSONALLY I BELIEVE THE TEACHING OF EVERYONE WOULD HAVE TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT OF HEBREW,
• 22:04 EITHER IT'S HERE OR UP THERE.
• 22:06 AND MUSIC IS A VERY GOOD INSTRUMENT TO LEARN LANGUAGES
• 22:09 AND THAT'S WHY I DID IT.
• 22:11 I WANT EVERYONE TO KNOW HEBREW.
• 22:14 WE SING HERE LIVE WORSHIP, HALF HEBREW, HALF ENGLISH
• 22:19 AND IT'S THE MOST MEANINGFUL TIME I THINK IN ALL OF THE TOUR TO ISRAEL TO BE ON THIS SEA
• 22:28 AND TO WORSHIP THE LORD...
• 22:30 WITH US.

• 24:20 FOR MUSLIMS IT'S A VERY SPECIAL DAY TODAY,
• 24:23 THEY BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE DAY WHEN MOHAMMED MADE A NIGHT FLIGHT TO JERUSALEM
• 24:28 AND FROM THE AL AQSA MOSQUE HERE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN.
• 24:30 THAT'S NOT QUITE MY UNDERSTANDING BUT IT IS THEIRS.
• 24:34 I UNDERSTAND THAT NO ONE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN BUT HE WHO DESCENDED FROM HEAVEN
• 24:38 AND THAT IS THE SON OF MAN WHO SAID THE IF HE'D BE LIFTED UP HE'LL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO HIMSELF.
• 24:43 AND IN THIS PROGRAM WE ENDEAVOR TO DO THAT WITH YOU AS AN EXTENSION OF YOUR LOVE
• 24:48 AND YOUR AFFECTION FOR THE JEWISH PEOPLE,
• 24:50 WE WANT TO LIFT MESSIAH JESUS UP IN THE WORLD
• 24:53 AND THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO DO THAT.
• 24:56 I MUST SAY AS A REPRESENTED OF A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION
• 25:00 THAT ALONG WITH MANY OTHER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS IT'S BEEN A REALLY TOUGH YEAR
• 25:06 AND IT'S REALLY PUT A LOT OF PINCHES ON US.
• 25:08 WE, THANKS TO OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, MARK LEVITT, WENT ON PRODUCING ANYWAY.
• 25:14 HE DIDN'T WANT TO PULL BACK THE THROTTLE.
• 25:16 HE SAID, "LET'S GET THAT STORY OUT" AND WE'VE EXPENDED A LOT OF RESOURCE TO DO IT
• 25:20 BUT WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP NOW TO CONTINUE ON THE JOURNEY, PLEASE.
• 25:24 IF YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS IS
• 25:25 CHRISTIAN TV WORTH WATCHING
• 25:27 AND I TRUST THAT YOU DO,
• 25:29 EVEN IF YOU CAN'T DO A LOT,
• 25:31 I THINK IF A LOT OF US
• 25:33 JUST DO A LITTLE TOGETHER

• 25:35 WE CAN GET BY
• 25:36 WITH A LITTLE HELP
• 25:37 FROM SOME FRIENDS,

• 26:10 THAT THE HARVEST IS PLENTIFUL
• 26:12 BUT THE LABORERS ARE FEW,
• 26:13 I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU TO HELP US
• 26:15 TO PLEASE MAKE JESUS
• 26:18 KNOWN IN THE WORLD.
• 26:20 I BELIEVE THAT IF WE DO THAT,

• 26:23 AND TAKE CARE OF
• 26:24 HIS KINGDOM BUSINESS,
• 26:25 THAT HE HAS A REALLY SPECIAL WAY
• 26:26 OF HELPING US WITH OUR OWN.
