Massada, a story of Jewish historical and archeological import is now available to you, online from the comfort of your computer screen. You are invited to join and participate in an educational tour of the world acclaimed site. We will broadcast live from the mountain through the Internet. You will be able to communicate with the tour guide and other visitors, in real time.
