Jerusalem As The Jewel Of Israel

Jerusalem is a very sacred place for the Jews

Jerusalem is a very sacred place for the Jews. A lot of times, number too many to count, Jerusalem has been under seized by the enemy of the Jews. Time and again, the Jews recapture their city. They so revere this place that they pray facing the direction of Jerusalem, anywhere they are in the world, three times a day.

A lot of people, religious or not have the wish to spend some time in this mysterious place. People are drawn here due to the beauty of the place, the friendly people, the religious background and the richness of the culture and history. Israel and Jerusalem specifically, arouses the curiosity of any individual no matter what gender, age, religion and race he or she might belong to.

Jews visit Jerusalem in thousands each and every year. Those who have been to this city still return with the same feeling as if it is their first time. If you have been in Jerusalem, then you would have seen the touching scene of tourists where Moses parted the Red Sea or where the Dead Sea Scrolls are located. It is the lifelong dream of many to witness the artifacts the museums of Jerusalem has to offer.

The Wailing Wall or the Western Wall is among the most popular pit stops during Jewish tours to Israel. It is the only remaining side of the wall that surrounded the Holy Temple a long time ago. This is the place where Jews wailed their agony because of the destruction of their city. Now, it is a place where prayers are whispered, and heard.

Jewish tours to Israel almost always point to Absaloms tomb. This is the place believed to be the location of the resurrection. A lot of scholars are buried there in the hope of being resurrected first.

If you have been on Jewish tours to Israel, then you probably heard that Jerusalem came from the Hebrew name of Yerushalayim. Some claims it means legacy of peace. Yerusha in English means legacy and the second word, shalom, means peace. The second word can also be translated into Shlomo, the Hebrew name of King Solomon.
