Shalom & Welcome to the Rova's web site
Our home, the Jewish Quarter in Jerusalem's Old City (known as HaRova HaYehudi or for short, the Rova) is also your home.
It all started here.
The Midrash states that the dust for the creation of Man came from Mt. Moriah, the Temple Mount. Abraham bound Isaac on the same spot and Jacob had his dream with the angels here.
King David selected and purchased the Mount as the home for the Holy Temple that his son King Solomon was destined to build and this neighborhood has been home to the Jewish people ever since.
After 2000 years of exile, Am Yisrael, the people of Israel, have returned home! We are here, physically and spiritually carrying on the tradition of thousands of years of Jewish presence.
We invite you to join us. Learn about the history of this ancient area -- the synagogues and museums in the DISCOVER THE HISTORY section. Looking for that perfect gift and want to buy directly from the source? Then visit our new online shop by clicking on the the JQ Shopping link. And for your family and friends living here, you can send them gifts (food, wine, flowers, Shabbat baskets, and much more) from our SEND A GIFT section (in the JQ Shopping area). We are here to help you connect to the place where it all began. |

This year marks 43 years since the miracle of Jerusalem's reunification when the the historic and miraculous cry of "Har HaBayit B'Yadaynu-The Temple Mount is in our hands!" was heard. As the nations of the world try to wrest our holy city from our hands, tens of thousands of visitors are flocking to the Old City in a show of Achdut-Unity with our historical capital. Watch the annual Rikudegalim (dance through the gates of the Old City) which took place Jerusalem Day Wednesday June 1st at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144687. And don't forget to visit Misgav Ladach Street (the street at the top of the stairs from the Western Wall) to visit the mobile portraying the 70 names of Jerusalem, built by our neighbor Shai Segal. Residents of the Jewish Quarter stand behind Prime Minister Mr. Bibi Netanyahu and pray that the words pronounced with such passion in Congress were not mere rhetoric and that the future of the Jewish people in our Jewish Land be preserved. AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!!! |
