Jerusalem Through The Windows of Time

by ABRAHAM STAHL

 

INTRODUCTION

Jewish organizations hold elevated expectations that the theme of Jerusalem will be able to reach out and touch many more hearts than any other, because the eternal city and capital of the land and State of Israel is so charged with meaning for the Jewish people.

We hope that it will not only affect young people, but that it will bring them - with their parents, their educators, their communities - to learn about Jerusalem and come to experience Jerusalem and Israel in person. Indeed, there can be no richer source of Jewish identification than the city of Jerusalem, which unites all Jews together, near and far, with its wealth of pathways to our roots, our culture, our life - our hopes for the future.

To learn about Jerusalem, to feel its pulse, to explore its layers and know its neighborhoods, is to touch the vital spirit of Jewish existence, the essence of Jewish education today. In the book, "Jerusalem Through the Windows of Time", you will discover the many faces of Jerusalem, traced through the history of human and Jewish consciousness. We invite you to enter these windows and come to know Jerusalem through its many associations and messages.
