WLIW New York’s acclaimed Visions series makes an aerial pilgrimage to Israel, the world’s only Jewish state – home to approximately 7.2 million and the Holy Land of the three main Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Set to ethnic music with informative narration, stunning high definition aerial footage showcases Israel in all its diverse glory, flying over sites where Jewish rebels gave their lives; where Egyptians, Greeks and Romans built outposts to their empires; and where Jesus Christ performed miracles.
Witness the magnificence of the country’s many holy sites, including the Western Wall, the Temple Mount and Church of the Holy Sepulchre, alongside such modern achievements as the ingenious irrigation system that actually helped make a desert bloom. Israeli-American violinist/conductor Itzhak Perlman narrates.

I am a member of channel 13, I contribute and in return I receive the monthly printed schedule which I use to record programs. My schedule shows that on May 18th at 11:30 PM, “Visions of Israel” should be playing. I set up my VCR to record this program, but something entirely different is playing, you are not following your schedule. Can I record this program at another time? Am I reading your schedule wrong? Are you following your printed schedule? Can I watch the above program online instead? Please reply by e-mail to benesch@optonline.net ASAP. Thank You.

I echo the above comment and questions. I too am a Channel 13 member and the monthly printed schedule did indicate that Visions of Israel would be repeated on 5/18 at 11:30pm. That did not happen. Will it be repeated at another time? The website seemed to indicate that it will be seen on 6/2 at
8 pm. Is that the case? Please reply to Suluck@optonline.net Thank you.
Where can I purchase a copy of “Visions of Israel?”
Will it be rebroadcast? I saw about half of the June broadcast and it was marvelous.
