The Jewish Soul of Jerusalem
Description:
The Jewish Holy City of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the key to civilization. Basis. It doesn’t matter if you believe in God or not.
Our fascinating walk through the Jewish shrines of ancient and modern Jerusalem.
(1) The Western Wailing Wall. One of the most famous pilgrimage points in Jerusalem is a huge stone surface near which prayer almost never stops. The place of the Temple is a place of special power and energy. The greatest shrine of Judaism is the Wailing Wall. Part of the ruins of a once luxurious temple complex. The Western Wall has a beautiful tradition of writing your prayer on a piece of paper and putting it in the gap between the stones of the wall. Regularly, a special person collects all the prayers and burys them on the Mount of Olives, a cemetery that is already 2000 years old. According to this tradition, every prayer written in this way becomes an “eternal prayer.” It is a very beautiful tradition, and even Pope John Paul 2 put his prayer in the crevice of this wall. A visit to Jerusalem will not be completed without a visit to this wall.
(2) Davidson Centre-Jewish construction of King Herod. The archaeological park contains finds dating back to the First and Second Temple periods. The center combines the archaeological exposition with modern computer equipment. Studying the archaeological exhibits, we get an idea of the 2000 history of the Temple Mount. In addition, we will see here an interactive virtual model of the Temple Mount in all its splendor, as it was in the era of the Second Temple.
(3) The city of David is the king's residence and underground springs. The City of David is a huge archaeological park that was created on the site of the ancient city of Jebus, which later became Jerusalem. The tour provides a tour of the most interesting places of the city of David. It usually begins with a stunning panorama, which opens from the watchtower and transports each visitor to 4 thousand years ago, in the time of the forefather Abraham, when the history of the city began. Then we go to the most important places in the park. As if the palace of the times of the king of Judea is “reviving” and the excavations of fortresses and tunnels are impressive.
(4) The Jewish Quarter of the Old City is the smallest and oldest of the old city quarters. The narrow streets of this quarter are very picturesque. The history of the quarter is like the stories of all the people - full of tragic and great events.
(5) Mount Zion and the tomb of King David. A holy place for all monotheistic religions. Mount Zion is the symbol of the Promised Land. On Mount Zion are churches, holy places revered by Jews, Muslims and Christians around the world.
