Thank you, that was quite beautiful

This clip awesomely captures the background and history of Jerusalem in a short but genius fashion beyond what I've ever seen. Keep up the fantastic work!

very nice. one item seems to be off. you mention the building of the second Holy Temple after a decade after the first Temples destruction. It was 70 years, not a decade. If I heard erroneously forgive me.
very nice.

The clip (which was beautifully done) says that Noah built an Altar to the Lord there. I have a problem with that due to the fact the Ark rested on Mt. Ararat, in Turkey.
|
You are right that the ark first rested on Mount Ararat. But it would be more than six months later before the water fully dried up and Noah actually left the Ark. It was then that he built the altar in Jerusalem.

"Less than a decade later.."?! Should say "Less than a CENTURY later"!!

I am BLESSED everytime I come to visit you all at chabad...Thank You...Shalom

I have learned something listening to this brief vid clip and wept with these people. I am in dire need to learn more...my soul is hungry!

I have always mistaken Jerusalem for the City(העיר) of Peace. Now from your video I know that it stands for God sees.
תודה

The video clip proves how G-d is preserving Jerusalem and the Jewish people.
I am a Filipino and I love Israel and its people. Many nations tried in the past to conquer and blot out Israel from the map of the world but they all FAILED!! This time, nations again are trying to agree to divide Jerusalem into two--one part for the Palestinians and the other part for Israel. BUT THEY WILL FAIL. How could they succeed against the omnipotent G-d? Jerusalem will remain the holy city of Israel alone.

I miss You Jerusalem! Next year...

In 1991, I was staying in TZFAT when unexpectedly my young bride and myself were asked if we'd like to replace a couple RUSSIANS on a tour bus going to the KOTEL in YERUSHALAYIM. We didn't hesitate a minute and when we soon arrived there and walked down the ramp to go to the KOTEL, I sensed something like the air was scintillating with an invisible fire, raising everything in it's midst. CHABAD came to me and immediately had me wrapped up in TEFILLIN, then sent me to the wall to daven. I have never had a more profound sense of HOLINESS than at that time. YERUSHALAYIM SHEL ZAHAV.

As was decreed for Israel, The tribes assemble from abroad With thanks unto the Name of G-d For there His Holy Presence dwell The seats for judgment are therein. The thrones of David's royal kin There sit the rulers of the nation Prosperity be unto them That love you O Jerusalem Who makes your peace their supplication.
Let peace be found within your walls And in your palaces repose May blessings be conferred on those Who dwell within you favoured halls For firends and brethren I would say Let peace abide in you for aye May nought disturb you now or ever By reason of G-d's temple fair and for the mercy proffered there I will invoke your good forever.
