This special edition Christmas Eve show is brought to you by the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews.

Welcome, and thanks for joining us for a special Christmas Eve edition of Clay and Buck.

Welcome in. We are taping a very special edition of Clay and Buck. It is the Christmas Eve edition.

I am in Israel right now. First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you.

I hope you were having fabulous times with your friends and your family, but I also know that a

lot of you work even on Christmas Eve. And so we wanted to make sure that we had a special

original Christmas Eve edition of the show, and we thought

nothing better than to do it from Israel, given that it is, in fact, the Holy Land. And in particular,

one of the first things we did when we got to Israel was we had a tour of the old city of Jerusalem.

That's right in the center of Jerusalem.

I know many of you would love to go and visit at some point in time.

And if you have visited, then you will understand maybe a little bit of what we're talking about.

But we had a fabulous guide.

Her name, and she is sitting with me here right now, Yael Goodman. She took us all over the old city of Jerusalem for several hours. And we had such a great time that we said, hey, what if we brought Yael on and we asked her all sorts of questions so all of you could understand the incredible knowledge and story she had to tell so we could

bring it to all of you. So we bring in Yale Goodman first, and I'll get into her background,

but first, just for the Bonifides, how much work does it take to become a licensed tour guide in Jerusalem?

How does that come about and how did you come to have the job that you have where you ended up with me and Ali and Andrew, our crew,

taking us around in the center of the old city of Jerusalem?

How does that job exist and kind of give us some sense of that, if you could, to start?

Well, the tour guide course in Israel, it's a rigorous course. It's a two-year course. And in this two-year

course, you need to learn archaeology and history and geology and everything it takes to just

guide people along all of Israel, not only Jerusalem. So it includes 600 hours, academic hours, and 80 tours.
