Israel - Rose in Desert :Jerusalem



A Visit to Cherish Forever
Israel : Rose in Desert
"Israel is a blend of different cultures and a place to visit ,to collect memories to cherish forever".I visited Israel in 2010 and wish to go again.
Common people in Israel are very friendly and welcome Indians. I had a very nice experience in Israel.In this blog I will elaborate places which are a must watch.


NOTE: In this blog I have listed the history of the place ,this is what I have heard from the Guide and people around the places.So if you find any mistake please let me know I will correct it.The purpose of this blog is to help tourist . So pack your bags and  fly to visit Israel

JERUSALEM-Old and New City
Jerusalem : Holy city in Israel is of much importance to Jews ,Muslims and Christians.
Each religion has its own belief .Golden dome is the centre of attraction . For Jews when Masiaah , will rise all the Jews will rise up and a Jewish temple will be built at that place.For Muslims  Mohammad flew to heaven after offering his last player. As such Jeursalem became the the third Religious city to Muslims. For christians ,Jesus offered his last pray to Almighty God here and then flew to Heaven from Mount Of Olives.
Old city of Jerusalem is divided into 4 quarters , Armenian ,Jews ,Muslim and Christain. Armenian are also christians but they  have a separate quarter and do not allow outsiders even to visit there place.All the quarters are under control of the respective Religious communities. 
Old city of Jerusalem is a awsome  place to visit .
So on the left is the jafa gate from where you will enter in to the old city. Vendors will start coming to you to sell goods, foods. But keep your wallet safe :)  you will not be able to run as fast as them .PS a tip given to us  by the Jewish Guide.







King David is of much importance , two engineers who forgot to cover his grave inside the walls , were killed to death and burried at the Jafa gate so that people can see what was  done to those who forgot King David.
On the left :Picture -Graves of the two engineers who forgot King David importance.
















Once you enter from here you will enter into the Armenian Quarter. Tourist are not allowed  to visit this Quarters.They have safeguard it. There is only one entrance.
Jewish Quarter
So now we move to next quarter . The next Quarter is Jewish Quarter . You will see the remains of ancient Roman city burried under your feet.

On the right: Picture of Jewish Temple . This temple is made having the same structure  of the ancient  Jewish temple.







Menoriaah : This is made of 42 kg of Gold and of much importance to Jewish people to pray .


As per Jewish beliefs Massiaah will use it .
On the Right : Picture of Mosque near the Golden Dome. 















 The picture is taken at the most sacred place for Jews "The welling wall" .
Jews offer their prayers to God here . There is an old custom here. People write their wishes on paper and place in the walls and their wish come true. Here men and women have separate place to  
worship. Men have to wear cap to worship.


Similarities b/w Hindus and Jews: I noticed some similarities between My religion and Jews.
1.Jews cover their head with a cap while Hindus cover their head in order to show respect to God in temples , and elders.Covering your head is a sign to show respect .Hindu women cover their head "Ghoonghat" .
2.Hindus wear saffron color called Kalawa in Sanskrit/Hindi or Mauli in punjabi and wear them on wrist  as "Aashirwad ,sign of Good luck and faith" , I saw there  some Jews people were also tying the red color string to tourist. The guide told me that it is a sign of Good luck. I told him that we have a similar custom too .
3. You will find some names having different meanings in Hindu and Jews like "Ram" , "Maya "
are the some names , Hindus and Jews   have them.
Christian Quarter
Before I show you the tour of Christian Quarter , I would like to elaborate the importance of Jerusalem to Christians. Jerusalem is the holy city for Christians. He offered his last prayer  before crucification. When Jesus was crucified ,he was forced to carry the Cross all the way.There were 14 points where miracles happened and now these  14 points are worth seeing
I remember some of the important points and am listing down them here .
  • Point  num 3 :Jesus fell while carrying the Cross
  • Point num 4 :Mother Marry cried
  • Point num 5: Jesus kept his hand on the wall ,and a miracle happened ,his hand left his print on the stone
  • Point 6:Veronica cleaned the face of the Jesus with a cloth and on the cloth ,Icon ,face of Jesus was printed.
  • Point 7 :Jesus fell second time
  • Point  :Jesus was nailed to Corss.Body of Jesus was laid down on a stone.
When you see a church in Jerusalem ,ask two questions ,why and  how many times the Church was built
There is a 1000 years old church here .

Many tourist from Israel visit India ,when you will walk on the street , you will see it yourself.People will say Namaste and treat you with respect. Once in a life time an Indian should rather say must visit Israel.
Now have a look at the New City. Most of buildings in New City have same stone on the outer walls.
On the way there is a nice hotel where you can stay and spend an evening.

Israeli government have done a very good thing.They have a policy to  make Israel green.Planting trees is one of the best thing and make Israel Green. I wish every  country does the same in the entire world  and plant trees to make Mother Earth ;GREEN AND BEAUTIFUL ,full of nature !!.
