Jewish shrines of Jerusalem

Description:

The Jewish shrines of Jerusalem. We will begin our individual tour at the main shrine of Jews around the world - the Wailing Wall. I'm going to tell you about its thousand-year long, long-suffering history, its traditions and the inexhaustible spirituality it carries. Plunging into the labyrinths of the streets of ancient Jerusalem, we will see what is hidden from the eyes of mass tourists. This is the Little Wailing Wall. The same classic wall of weeping, just... My story lies ahead. And our way is to the most important synagogues of the Old City. First of all, we will come to the "Wreck", this is the name of the largest synagogue of the Old City - "Hurva". This seems to be a new development... What a long and intricate history it has! From this huge synagogue, we will pass to a small and “inconspicuous”. But the oldest in Jerusalem. This is the synagogue of Ramban, the greatest Kabbalist of the thirteenth century, which has stood here ever since, absorbing dramatic Jewish history. From the largest and oldest, we will go to the most beautiful. It is called Tiferet Israel, the “Beauty of Israel.” You will find out how amusingly connected the name of the ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Franz Josef, with this synagogue and you will surely agree that the name is quite suitable for it.

In a comfortable car, we will move to another part of Jerusalem – Mount Memory to the National Holocaust Memorial. Here the memory of the Jewish victims of Nazism, fighters against fascism and the righteous of the world who saved Jews at the risk of their own lives is immortalized. There is no person on the planet who could leave indifferent a visit to this place.
