Representing God’s Holy City—The Jerusalem Development Authority
“I’m amazed to see all the love.”
That’s what Ohad Roth of the Jerusalem Development Authority (JDA) said when he visited the U.S. this year. That’s what he said about the love he and his fellow Israelis felt from their Christian friends in America. Friends like The Fellowship’s faithful supporters.
Roth, the JDA’s Director of Tourism, and Anat Landa, the Director of International Conferences for the organization, were gracious enough to take a few minutes from their very busy schedule to sit down with The Fellowship at the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention in Nashville, TN.
In the U.S. to represent the city of Jerusalem, Roth and Landa discuss how the biblical history of the Holy City make it so special, how it is also a vibrant city with much to offer visitors today, and how Israel’s friends around the world can support her and her people by visiting.

Episode Notes:
Established in 1988, the Jerusalem Development Authority’s mission is to both promote the Holy City for those residents who live there, as well as to Israel’s faithful friends worldwide.
With that in mind, Ohad Roth (Director of Overseas and Domestic Tourism) and Anat Landa (Director of International Conferences) came to the U.S. in 2024 to take part in the National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) convention—to represent the Holy City of Jerusalem to Israel’s Christian friends in America.
While Israel still fights a war against Hamas terrorists in the south, and faces constant attacks and violence from Hezbollah to the north, the city of Jerusalem still welcomes those from around the world looking to visit this place that is so sacred to people of faith, Jews and Christians alike.
From 3,000-year-old quarries to 1,500-year-old citadels, from underground caves from Bible days to the beautiful and modern National Library, Jerusalem has so much to offer all visitors—whether they are visiting for business or pleasure.
