The Holiest City to The Jewish People

Jerusalem has been at the heart of Jewish life for thousands of years. ❤️ It is the holiest city in Judaism, home to the Temple Mount, where the First and Second Temples once stood. The Western Wall is a remaining section of the retaining wall surrounding the Temple Mount and has been a place of Jewish prayer and longing for generations. Jerusalem is mentioned hundreds of times throughout the Hebrew Bible, and Jews around the world face toward Jerusalem when praying. For centuries, even when scattered across the world, Jewish people prayed for the return to Jerusalem and celebrated holidays with the words, “Next year in Jerusalem.” 🇮🇱
