Holy Land--Jerusalem

One of the top places I would like to visit, would have to be Jerusalem, or more generally, the Holy Land.  Because of my beliefs and the complex history that goes along with this land, I would love to see what I've read and heard about for so long.  Oddly enough this city is holy to three religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.  With a long history of wars and political as well as religious conflicts, if you want to know the history, take a look for yourself: http://www.jerusalem.muni.il/jer_main/defaultnew.asp?lng=2


The Temple Mount includes many of the religious sites that are famous in Jerusalem.  Aside from the religious significance of the city, there is also a presence of artistic and cultural contributions.  This includes the Israel Museum, The Jerusalem Theater, The Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, and The Jerusalem Film Festival are just a few examples.


Here's one performance by the orchestra:

While this post can't cover all there is to see and know about Jerusalem, hopefully it has peaked your interest a little bit, I know I want to learn more about this place and one day, I will be able to blog from my personal experience.

Ciao,
