50 YEARS REUNITED JERUSALEM
"If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. If I do not
remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I do not set
Jerusalem above my highest joy" Psalms 137.
Throughout the long exile of the Jewish people which lasted for 2,000 years,
from the destruction of the Second Temple until the establishment of the State
of Israel in 1948, the beautiful City of Jerusalem was never forgotten.
According to Jewish tradition, Jerusalem is destined to be a metropolis for the
entire world. We see this coming true, as hundreds of thousands of Jerusalem
lovers come to the Holy City from all over the world.
Today, Jerusalem is a thriving city, the biggest and most important in Israel.
Ancient and modern blend together on the landscape and Jerusalem's
unique character, its spirituality and beauty remain unchanged.
