Great video! When I was in Jerusalem at the time, I ate and drank deliciously there and relieved myself wonderfully! So I'm glad I was able to leave something of myself there. I'm Dutch and one of the slang words for urine is 'pies' and that sounds like peace or piece... Btw: the essence of the Christian faith is 1 Corinthians 15:1-4

Someone in a video recently told me I should watch this, God bless

[@guylarcher6005]

I lived on a kibbutz for a year in 1983/84. Loved every second of my experience. I have been on dozens of tours led by catholics, evangelicals, armenians, jews, muslims, agnostics and atheists. I have watched the guides change emphasis of history to cater to the tour group. You Oren are the most fair, knowledgable, genuine, humurous guides i have come across. Anyone you guide through the city would benefit. I have been appreciating all your hard work. Well done! Shalom

[@iv911]

Hahaha, I’ve never thought that this toilet video could be so educational and important for peace and also so entertaining 😂

A sphincter blessing! I for one am very grateful for all of them, both internal and external.

[@lisastarr2200]

I love how you're always guaranteed to tell me something I would have never known otherwise and will never learn from any other video. You have this naughty look on your face as you introduce 'Toilets Of Jerusalem' as a theme. A great start!

Oren you are my hero! Sending love and best wishes from Murfreesboro Tennessee

[@wisse693]

So funny to see that most important toilet. I was in Jerusalem 2 months ago and I used this toilet. Now I see it's so significant. You are completely right about Jerusalem. There is literally something to be told EVERYWHERE in the city!

[@lff12]

This is absolutely the best KZbin travel video EVER, hands down 😂

[@kf505]

As someone with an overactive bladder, I have to find the bathroom everywhere I go so if I were traveling there, I'd certainly want to see your video! Well done for those needing to know. I wish more people would actually do videos like this. I'm so sorry Oren that a war has begun. I hope you don't get called up on the reserves. I'm sure you will go if need be but I certainly don't want you going, we want you safe. Praying you, your family and all extended friends and family remain safe. It looks horrendous already over there. My heart just breaks for all who already who have died/been hurt. I pray this ends as soon as possible and that peace returns to Israel. It's been a while since I've seen a video as I think I watched them all. Time to catch up.

[@logicaredux5205]

I expected to have a good laugh at the subject knowing your excellent dry humor, but it actually ended on a profound note of hope. All I can add is a polite reminder to flush when done.😉

[@siggiAg86]

A fun fact, if my ears don’t deceive me, they are singing in Icelandic while he’s walking to the toilet! Greetings from Iceland !

I have been so stressed about the news, protests, politics. Somehow I feel calm after watching your videos. ❤

[@user-je123]

"Die Hoffnung stirbt zuletzt" well said, you have not forgotten your German. A very practical video today, with some serious references.

[@Allergictocatstoo]

I recently found your channel! I appreciate your tours, your dry sense of humor and that you use music as a compliment! Loved the grocery store tour and this one! Thank you for doing something fresh and different!

[@wotan10950]

I travel annually to Israel, but I once got very sick while I was there. I said, “I’m going to write a book called The Sherutim of Israel.” But of course, many people had already written blogs about them! The main thing is that they were all clean and private, much better than public restrooms in the States.

[@hurdygurdyguy1]

😂 depends on where in the States and Israel...I've been to some very clean and maintained public toilets in the US and some very dodgey toilets in Israel (public and private!)

[@lisawaters2585]

Your best content! The tour we didn't know we needed but the tour we all love, especially the tourists coming from Wisconsin. All kidding aside, excellent content. Something no other tour guide has made known to us...

[@Travelingisraelinfo]

I agree :) My best so far

[@salyluz6535]

@@Travelingisraelinfo Hi, Oren! I’m going to share this video with a guy I know who is volunteering as a medic in Ukraine. When he travels and visits new places, he loves to show us the toilet and give it a rating. If you are interested in checking him out, his name is Brandon Mitchell and he has a KZbin channel. He was born in Canada but has lived on six different continents, so his accent might sound a little bit Irish, according to some people. He’s a very honest guy, but a bit unfiltered sometimes. He believes he should tell the truth, because the truth will set you free! I really appreciate him putting his life on the line to save the lives of others! The only thing about this video is you really only showed us one physical toilet, in the King David Hotel- even though you walked into or through other bathrooms. So that’s got me wondering, does the men’s bathroom only have sinks and urinals in some places, and no actual toilet where you could sit?🤔I was wondering if any of the bathrooms in Jerusalem have the kind of hole in the floor Asian style toilets, where people squat? I’m just curious! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But thanks for doing this video, and I especially appreciate the commentary you share along the way! 💙🙏🏽💙🖖🏼🇮🇱💪🏽🕊🪔

[@christinebrooks8661]

You are brilliant-what a fun idea to do a toilet tour but full of info as well and humour.Well done.Bless you in all the other work you do putting together informative and fun videos.

[@jeannettezapatier564]

Oren you are the best! Your videos are so informative, well done and I enjoy your humor and sarcasm! The bathrooms is the funniest but interesting to know when visiting! God bless Israel!

[@kekesam4957]

Live it! You can make any topic entertaining with your wonderful sense of humor ❤

[@leahshalek6144]

A totally unique topic and perspective! Also, very useful for us older visitors who can't go too long between stops. LOL! One type of toilet you forgot: The ones at the old bus stations where you had to pay a few agorot for a couple of squares of toilet paper! Thank goodness we've advanced beyond those days!

[@jacqueline651]

Thanks Oren for creating this video. I like your informative, respectful and humorous approach. Perhaps you could create a part 2 with more hidden toilet locations and point out the interesting tourist sites in the surroundings.

[@euanwaugh2492]

Absolutely brilliant. I chuckled my way through this one. Informative as always. Loved it.

[@carolinenudelman7260]

This was fun. When I was in Israel about 10 years ago, our tour guide asked the kids in our group to take note of the different kinds of bathrooms they encountered, how they flushed, etc. Also, I noticed that the word for שרות and שרותים for services and bathroom were related and thought it was interesting. Loved the story about the bathroom in the center of the old city. תודה רבה

[@WakkerWordWoord]

Thanks Oren, I like your sense of humor. PS at 14:33 is Shmuel, a KZbinr making videos about running in Israel. Being an ex-South African, he also ran the famous Comrades ultra-marathon. Keep safe you guys! As a fellow KZbinr, I really appreciate the HOURS and DAYS of creating a video such as this.

[@merseltzer]

I love the idea that toilets in the marketplace are the hope for peace in Jerusalem. G+d does have a sense of humor. 🤣 Thank you for an interesting video.

I would love to do this Toilet-Tour guided by your App next time I come to Jerusalem. Just a fun different approach to enjoy the city. (Of course after doing the other tours. Just as an additional approach not as a substitute.)

[@dougbevan1786]

What a hilarious - but well needed tour! And I even learnt something about the pillars in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre! (I love it when you add those sorts of details!). You wanted to know which of the Hotels would be my preference? Probably the Abraham Hostel 😂. But I have a question: what street is that last toilet on? I could not see how to find it on your video. But I thank you so much because I was fearing the inevitable walking the Old City with 3 young children in tow! Daddy...I want to go potty!

Great Video Oren! I havYour refe been to the toilet at the western wall and it was chaotic. Your reference to women using the men's toilet reminds me of France. It is common at service stations in france for women to use the male toilets, men standing at urinals and women queuing behind them waiting for a cubicle. No one is bothered (except american tourists lol).
