Ammunition Hill Battle Site

On the night of June 6th 1967, a pinnacle four-hour battle took place here at Ammunition Hill in which 36 IDF soldiers lost their lives. This battle was the turning point in the Six Day War that led to the redemption of the Old City and saw the return of the Western Wall and the Temple Mount to Jewish hands. Here we will tell the stories of the heroes of Jerusalem, run through the trenches in which they fought, and even climb on tanks as we relive one of the most glorious days in modern Jewish History…the unification of our capital.

Israel Museum & Dead Sea Scrolls

Covering an area of over half a million square feet, and strategically situated next to the Knesset, sits Israel’s foremost cultural institution…the Israel Museum. This museum houses the largest comprehensive collection of biblical artifacts in its archeological section, as well as the world’s largest collection of Judaica, Jewish art and manuscripts. Besides the famous “ahava” statue and the 20 acre model of the Second Temple and Jerusalem, the biggest highlight on the premises is the Shrine of the Book, which displays the Dead Sea Scrolls; the oldest biblical manuscripts in the world!

Yad Vashem – Israel’s Holocaust Memorial

Yad Vashem was founded in 1953 as Israel’s central holocaust memorial and museum. It’s for this reason that, after the Kotel, it is Israel’s most visited site. It is here where visitors will hear the story and the meaning of the holocaust within the greater story of the people of Israel and the Land of Israel. All political delegations that come to Israel must come to Yad Vashem to see for themselves what can happen when the Jews don’t have a place to call home.

Mount Hertzl National Cemetery

Perched on one of the highest hills in western Jerusalem, is our country’s national cemetery. Buried at the peak of this hill, is the namesake of the mountain, Theodore Hertzl, the founder of modern Zionism. Flanking Hertzl are Presidents and Prime Ministers, on a foundation of our boys…IDF soldiers who have fallen in battle. No nation is given its land on a silver platter; those who sacrificed their lives are here as a monument to the struggle for our homeland.

Machane Yehuda Shuk – Jerusalem Market

There are no words to accurately describe the “shuk”…one must immerse themselves in the sights, smells, and above all, tastes of Jerusalem’s largest outdoor food market. It teems with locals and tourists alike, and is a meeting place for Jerusalemites from all over. Make sure to taste the chalva, techina, the famous marzipan rugalach, and get a fresh Juice from Uzi.
