Fast Fact
Although there are many holy places in the Land of Israel, Judaism’s four holy cities stand out.
- Jerusalem, the eternal spiritual center of the Jewish people.
- Hebron, where Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Rebecca and Leah are buried. It was also King David’s first capital.
- Safed/Tzfat, a center of Jewish mystical scholarship (Kabbalah).
- Tiberias, where sages compiled the Jerusalem Talmud and where many great rabbis are buried.
