From Rafi Hecht:
”
I went ahead and tried to track down the video on YouTube. Indeed, Tom Hanks filmed a video in Israel called “Every Time We Say Goodbye” in 1986, around the approximate timeline of the story. Below is the 10 minute clip, filmed on June 1987, where he talks about on Friday night he was filming a scene titled “the Wilderness of Zin” and would walk down Dizengoff street in Tel Aviv where everyone would be sipping coffee, wishing him Shabbat Shalom. The thing starts at 5:16 of the clip. Must see.
