Jewish Heritage Sites in Jerusalem
Jerusalem’s Jewish heritage spans millennia, anchored by the Western Wall and the ancient stones of the Jewish Quarter. This collection highlights significant religious sites, including the rebuilt 18th-century Hurva Synagogue and the monumental Great Synagogue. Beyond the Old City walls, the Mount of Olives holds the world’s largest Jewish cemetery, while the Israel Museum preserves the Dead Sea Scrolls.
