Hello everyone,
I would like to concentrate on some of the places I suggest to visit while you are in Jerusalem.

                                  

                             

This is the map of Jerusalem since I am talking about Jerusalem here.
I will focus here on Jerusalem since I live here and know this city.
So come with me on a tour around my Jerusalem. 

Our first stop is the Old City and below you will find the outside of the Old City.

                                                             This is the Kotel

Next on our tour is the Kotel, since we here in the Old City.
Jerusalem, is not only the capital of Israel but an amazing city as well. There is so much history not only for us Jews, but, for Christians and Muslims or Arabs as well. 
If you cannot come see it in person then I will have to bring it to you.
When one is in Jerusalem you feel like when walking all around the city that you are feeling what they felt back in the olden days. 
 Jews have been here for thousands of years. They may have been murdered here and tried to be pushed out, but, we are not going anywhere. This is our one and only Jewish country in the whole wide world and we are not going anywhere. We have survived so much hatred in this world that no matter what people try to do to us we are not going anywhere.

                             Next on our tour is Ben Yehuda Mall in downtown Jerusalem.

This our famous Ben Yehuda Mall in downtown Jerusalem. You may have heard things like we had terrorist attacks here, but, maybe you heard or did not hear we have also activities that go on and flowers as you see in the pictures and lots of stores to visit down the mall and on side streets too.

                           After Ben Yehuda it is time to see downtown Yafo and the trains.

Next on the tour is a place that I like very much that has used books. They have some very special books. When you return a book that is in good shape you can get money off on the new book you buy from them. They are in downtown Jerusalem off one of the side streets.

They have some amazing books there. Also, if the book is in good condition you can get money off of the new book you want to take home.

Next on the tour is the Jewish Market called the Shuk or Mahane Yehuda. 

It is a very special place to visit while here in Jerusalem. Not only locals like to come here but tourists as well.

Now, we go back to the Old City of Jerusalem and see three more places there.

We have many gates and this is one of them. This is called Jaffa Gate.

This is the entrance to the Jewish Quarter and to the Kotel

This is called the cardo. These are shops located in the Jewish Quarter of the Old City.
They have some amazing things to look at and even buy there.

And last but not least this is the Temple Mount. Maybe some of you have read about it in the news. In 1967 when Jerusalem was liberated from our enemies we got the Temple Mount, but, someone decided not to keep it and give it to the Arabs. Bad move. Now, there are times Jews are not allowed on it or we are not suppose to pray on it or move our lips. Here you see people with Israeli flags. There has been lots of tension as to who should it belong to. We need to take it back and build our 3rd and hopefully final Temple on it and keep it this time in our hands.

Thank you and I hoped you liked your journey through Jerusalem.
