JerusalemWailing Wall, the Jewish Soul
Jerusalem in Hebrew means "city of peace", but the city more than 4000 years in the history of the building, peace and war, rebirth and destruction alternately, the sacred and the savage.

For their part, culture is a part of the religion, was a part of Tamud, is a part of the Torah, is part of the Hebrew, because they believe they are part of the ancient temple only the west wall of the. Only here, they can find kindred sense of belonging and identity.

Until today, at the age of 18 Jewish men and women, turn every man into a soldier. They will come to the place of Masada Masada oath, sworn never to fall, as a pledge of eternal defend their homeland. Suddenly feel that Israel shaping the legendary famous "Mossad" pronunciation and Masada like.
