Welcome to the audio walking tour of the German Colony in Jerusalem. My name is Avi Shalev. I am a licensed tour guide, a lieutenant colonel in the IDF reserves, retired after a rich military career, and the author of The Only Jew in the Room, a book that documents my experience as the first Jewish student in an Arab-Islamic college in Baqa al-Gharbiyye. This audio walking tour takes us into one of Jerusalem’s most beautiful and fascinating neighborhoods: the German Colony. Today, it is known for its elegant stone houses, cafés, gardens, cultural institutions, and lively streets. But behind this pleasant urban scenery stands a remarkable historical story. The German Colony was built in the second half of the 19th century by the Templers, a German Protestant religious community from Württemberg. They came to the Holy Land with a powerful spiritual vision. They believed that by settling in the Land of Israel, working the land, building modern communities, and living a disciplined Christian life, they could help prepare the way for redemption. Here in Jerusalem, the Templers created a carefully planned colony outside the walls of the Old City. They built solid stone houses, public buildings, schools, workshops, guesthouses, and later cultural institutions. Their architecture combined European order and craftsmanship with local Jerusalem stone and Middle Eastern conditions. As we walk through the neighborhood, we can still see their imprint in the façades, inscriptions, gardens, balconies, courtyards, and quiet village-like atmosphere that survives within the modern city. But the story of the German Colony is not only architectural. It is also the story of a community: its religious ideals, daily life, businesses, schools, internal tensions, relations with Jews and Arabs, and eventual decline. During the tour, we will meet some of the people who lived here — architects, craftsmen, hoteliers, artists, families, and later Jewish and Arab residents who shaped the neighborhood after the Templer period. The history of the colony also has a painful ending. In the 1930s, many members of the German Templer community identified with Nazi Germany. During the Second World War, the British Mandate authorities regarded them as enemy nationals, interned many of them in camps such as Atlit, and after the war many were deported, especially to Australia. Their homes remained, but the original German community disappeared from Jerusalem. This tour is therefore an opportunity to understand a unique chapter in the history of the city: the rise, life, transformation, and disappearance of the German Templer community in Jerusalem. Their colony is gone, but the mark they left on the city is still visible — in stone, streets, memory, and architecture. Before we begin, please remember to stay safe during the tour: cross streets only at marked crosswalks, be careful while walking on the sidewalks, and always follow the local traffic rules. Please also note that there will be no official restroom stop during the tour. If you need to use the restroom before we begin, please take the opportunity to use the hotel toilets. So – lets go!!!

Welcome to Buffalo, New York! I’m so glad you’ve joined us for this drive through one of America’s most surprising cities — a place where big history, bold architecture, and vibrant neighborhoods all come together along the waters of Lake Erie. Before we hit the road, let’s talk a little about Buffalo itself. The origins of the city’s name go back to the late 1700s, when settlers first arrived at the mouth of a small creek flowing into the Niagara River. That creek became known as Buffalo Creek, and the community that grew up around it took the same name. No one knows for certain how it got that name — some say French explorers called it Beau Fleuve, meaning “beautiful river,” which over time morphed into Buffalo. Others argue it was simply named after the American bison, or buffalo, though no buffalo ever actually roamed this area. Whatever the true story, the name stuck, and by the early 1800s, Buffalo was officially on the map. The village of Buffalo was incorporated in 1813, but it really came into its own after the opening of the Erie Canal in 1825. That canal connected the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean, turning Buffalo into a booming gateway for goods, people, and industry. In just a few decades, Buffalo went from a small frontier outpost to one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. By 1900, it was the eighth-largest city in the country — bigger than Washington, D.C. or San Francisco at the time. Buffalo also earned the nickname “The City of Light” in the early 1900s, thanks to its pioneering use of electricity from nearby Niagara Falls. It became the first U.S. city to be fully illuminated by hydropower — imagine the impression that made on visitors to the 1901 Pan-American Exposition, when the entire fairground glowed with electric lights. And through it all, Buffalo has lived up to another of its nicknames: “The City of Good Neighbors.” From its early immigrant communities to the proud Buffalonians who live here today, this city has always been defined by its warmth, resilience, and sense of community. Over the course of this tour, you’ll see landmarks that tell the story of Buffalo’s rise, its challenges, and its exciting revival. From theaters and art museums to parks, neighborhoods, and the mighty waterfront, Buffalo has more to share than most people realize. So buckle up, relax, and get ready to experience Buffalo — its history, its surprises, and its pride. We’ll start right where the city has come full circle: on its revitalized waterfront, at the Buffalo and Erie County Naval & Military Park.

Let’s be honest—this stretch of highway isn’t exactly the Grand Canyon. It’s mostly trees, more trees, and just enough McDonald’s to make you wonder if you’ve been driving in circles. But here’s where things get interesting. Unlike your typical sightseeing tour, this one’s all about the unsightseeing. We’re not pulling over for monuments or museums. In fact, we’re not pulling over at all—unless your curiosity (or your bladder) says otherwise. In which case, we fully support your spontaneous detour energy. Instead, we’re bringing the stories to you. As we cruise past towns and cities—some famous, some forgotten—we’ll share fascinating, surprising, and occasionally ridiculous tales that shaped them. These are the places that launched revolutions, made headlines, inspired legends—or at the very least, have names that sound like rejected sitcoms. Now, here’s something important for this tour to work the way it’s designed: always follow the signs for I-95 South. Stick to the “Cars and Trucks” lanes, which are always on the right—do not take the “Cars Only” lanes. And skip the Express I-95 lanes; stay on the regular I-95. That’s how we’ll stay on track together. If you do have to leave the route, no worries. Just restart the tour by selecting the next Point of Interest as your new starting point. The app will navigate you there, and the tour will pick up seamlessly. So even if all you see out the window are trees and tail lights, we promise to keep your ears entertained with stories that’ll make you say, “Wait, that happened here?” And maybe even, “Okay, let’s take that next exit.” Ready? Let’s hit the road and discover the hidden stories along I-95—one mile at a time.
