Jerusalem
Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel, known for its historical and religious significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The city contains key landmarks such as the Western Wall, Dome of the Rock, and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. "Salem" means peace. Israel is the chosen land that God has ordained before the world began and the Jews are his chosen people. He made an everlasting covenant with them over 4,000 years ago and it still reigns to this very day, May 2016. It is the most blessed tiny nation on earth and it is in the very center of the globe. Look it up and see the truth.
Genesis 12:3 says, "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed." All who curse Israel will be themselves cursed. She is the only country which has survived many, many attacks and still is standing to this day.
God's plan didn't stop for Israel in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed the city and most of the temple. On Friday, May 14, 1948, Israel became a nation once again and now it will and cannot be destroyed ever again. God is watching over Israel and will protect it from harm.
Our creator God YHVH came to earth to be born of a virgin, Mary, lived a sinless, perfect life and then died on the cross 2,000 years ago to save mankind from their sins and he rose three days later to defeat death, sin, and the grave. He is the only way for you to be saved and without Him was not anything made that was made.

The old city center is being rebuilt, and the downtown area is being renovated. There are two central bus stations, four train stops, malls, and huge movie theaters. There are also hiking zones and many different attractions.

Beautiful city now in most places, nightlife is nothing like Tel Aviv but definitely nice. Primarily friendly, pretty much - if I were to sum it up, it gets a B+ in everything.

Tel Aviv smells unpleasant, but Holon is beautiful. Underrated city.
