Jewish Holy Sites in Jerusalem

Jerusalem is the spiritual heart of Judaism. Key sites Jewish visitors seek:

• Western Wall (Kotel): Holiest accessible site; remnant of the Second Temple's retaining wall. Open 24/7 for prayer.
• Temple Mount: Holiest site overall (First/Second Temple location). Jews may visit but not pray there under current status quo.
• Mount of Olives: Ancient cemetery with graves of prophets, scholars, and families; panoramic Old City views.
• City of David: Archaeological core of biblical Jerusalem; Hezekiah's Tunnel, royal structures.
• Church of the Holy Sepulchre: Christian holy site; some Jewish visitors enter for historical interest.

Access rules can change; check current guidelines before visiting.
