Why is a city located on a small hill? In the Middle East, it has become the center of Thousands of Years of Faith, Conflict and War And no matter how many eras, the stories of people This also reflects the fate of a nation. It is the story of a Jewish person who was displaced and Jerusalem, the Holy City at the Center In the midst of conflict Thousands of years before the story of the Jews began From a man named Abraham The scriptures say that he made a covenant with God. He said that his descendants would become a nation that He will protect and will receive the land of the Lord. The contract was later made a permanent home for his grandson.
Jacob was given the new name Israel and his sons His grandson was also called Khan, the nation.

Finally they arrived in the land of Canaan where they He believed it was the Promised Land. His sacred birth according to the scriptures of Jewish This whole story is the origin. Theirs, although many events are not yet proven The archaeological base clearly confirms that for the people This is the foundation of the Jewish faith and Identity that has been passed down for thousands of years when As time passed, the Israelites gradually settled in Canaan, they had to fight with tribes on all sides until around 1000 BC. A leader named King David, he was able to unite the people. The tribes of Israel were united and the cities were taken.
An ancient Jebusite fortress situated on a hill In the heart of Canaan David changed the name of the city. That is Jerusalem and made it the capital. of the New Kingdom, then King Solomon His son built the first great temple. The greatness makes Jerusalem not only a center Not only in the middle of politics but also at the heart of The faith of Judaism as well, but later When Solomon died, the kingdom was divided into two parts: northern Israel and Judah. The south later became known as Judea. Jerusalem was the center of the faith, but in 586 BC the Babylonian Empire invaded and captured it. Jerusalem destroys the first temple of the Jews. Many were taken captive decades later. When the Persian Empire under Sirat The Great conquered Babylon and the Jews received Allowed to return to Jerusalem and they A second temple was built on the same site around 516 BC.
