I visited the Friends of Zion Museum two weeks ago, and it was truly an inspiring and unforgettable experience.
The museum combines cutting-edge technology, immersive exhibits, and powerful storytelling to highlight the courageous actions of non-Jews who supported the Jewish people throughout history.
Each room is beautifully designed, using lights, videos, and 3D presentations that bring the stories to life. I was especially moved by the exhibits honoring the Righteous Among the Nations and world leaders who stood with Israel.
The staff was kind and professional, and the entire tour was thoughtfully curated.
Whether you're a tourist, a student, or a local who hasn’t been yet – don’t miss this meaningful and uplifting experience!
