Founded by Anthony and Vanessa Beyer
Where high-tech meets
Jewish spirituality
The New Visitors' Center
The need
As years went by, we have acknowledged the important and immediate need to create an innovative ‘state of the art’ visitors’ center with innovative media and unique content, the world has not yet seen.
Our new Hidden Light visitors’ center, will demonstrate the relevancy and accuracy of Jewish Spirituality in the 21st Century, in the way it corresponds with the latest theories of modern science and the most advance technologies.
Many are fascinated by the global recognition and admiration the State of Israel received as being a ‘start-up nation’ and ‘innovation nation’, thanks to the pioneer innovative technological developments of Israeli High-Tech companies and agricultural companies, that benefit the lives of hundreds of millions of people the world over.
At the same time, however, people think of Jewish Spirituality and spiritual experiences, as something belonging to the past, to Biblical Times, to the Synagogues, to 16th Century, or to some areas in the Far East…
The new Hidden Light visitors’ center, using the most advance visitors center’s technologies, such as AR & VR, 3D movies, hologram, video mapping and touch screens, will expose and demonstrate the fascinating correspondence between spiritual Judaism, modern science and innovative technology, in an unprecedented way.
From the regional development perspective the new visitors’ center will contribute significantly to the development of tourism to Tzfat in the next decade, attracting hundreds of thousands of people to the innovative attraction.
The video mapping night experience will be a main tourist attraction for night programs in Tzfat, and will encourage many to spend the night in the city and enjoy its charm as sun goes down.
