Discover the History

Starting with the ruins of the ancient Canaanite city of the Jebusites in the City of David, remains of almost every era of Jewish civilization from the time Joshua entered the Land of Israel, can be found in the Rova and its environs.
  • Synagogues  ( 15 items )
    The history and the architecture of the synagogues in the Old City add much to the spirituality of our minyanim (services). Many buildings date back close to a thousand years; are home to Arks from around the world; and have traditions of hosting none other than Eliyahu HaNavi, Elijah the prophet.

    And let us not forget -- from just about anywhere in the world, when you pray, you pray in the direction of our neighborhood, towards the Temple Mount!
  • Museums and Sites  ( 37 items )
    It's hard to believe that all of this history is contained in less than the one square kilometer that comprises the Old City. Sometimes, as the full-time actors who keep the stage bustling, we lose track of the special surroundings which we live in. That is why we need all of the tourists to keep on trekking through to "Oh!" and "Ah!" and be our constant reminder of the miracle that we call home. "Ve-Shavu Banim LeGvulim", and the sons have returned to the borders (of their land)!
