The Ancient City Of Jerusalem Israel:Why Are There Jews In Palestine?

By John Roney


Since ancient times, the Jerusalem stone has being used to construct buildings with different kinds of limestone. It is locally known as, "Meleke" and is instituted on several celebrated structures in Israel. The Jerusalem stone is used mainly for constructing Jewish buildings the world over in a symbolic manner. They are found on the deposition of limestones and dolomites in the vicinity of the West Bank region of Israel.

The stone is primarily used in the construction of building due to its superb display of color ranging from white, yellow, pink and gold. It is also famous for the inherent strength to sustain different weather conditions. Jerusalem occupies a special place in the world for having the core of three religions - the Christianity, Judaism and Islam. The Christianity has its holy footprints to define the place as the Holy Land for all the Christians in the world and Jerusalem as the Holy City.

Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv's green lung Yarkon is a great park on both banks of the Yarkon River ending by the sea. Watch the boats or rent one yourself, walk, cycle, picnic, relax and visit the petting zoo. Shopping, Tel Aviv has many different types of shopping - several great malls, but also HaTachana - a restored train station near Jaffa and Tel Aviv port. There are also more special places like the Carmel Market and Nahalat Binyamin. Museums and Galleries, There are some outstanding museums, including the Diaspora Museum, Rabin Center and the Haaretz Museum. There are also many fine galleries including the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. Architecture, Tel Aviv is famous for the number and quality of its Bauhaus style buildings.

The emancipation in recent centuries that caused some Jews to take the Israeli claim less seriously also made it easier for others to work for its realization. With us in the 1700s, and in the 18 hundredths, as in the present century, there was one movement after another, one organization after another, with a constant stream of emigration and settlement. It was all this that made it inevitable that sooner or later, along about the middle of the 20th century, the Jews of Israel would ask for political independence and defend it with an army. It would've happened, even if there had been no World War II or Hitler, even if there had been no United Nations. Jews and Arabs, as it happens, both originally came to Israel in much the same way. Each was at first the Bedouin people that came out of the desert to conquer a land of ancient towns; each then adopted a subtle way of life and made the towns of their own. It is a frequent pattern in history. The Arabs first came to Israel as conquerors on horseback in the seventh century A.D.. The peoples then living there spoke Greek and Aramaic, but after the Arab conquest the Arabic language became dominant. Before that the Arabs had lived in the Arabian Peninsula, and still do. When it burst out of Arabia in the seventh century, they conquered not only Israel but an empire extending from the Pyrenees to the border of India. Their religion to call them perch up at their language did not, and neither their language nor the religion was permanent in Spain or Portugal (though both florist there for several centuries). But the rest of their empire corresponds roughly to the Arab world of today. The same 7th-century wave of conquest that brought the Arabs to Israel brought them also to Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and North Africa and made them a major power.

The Ancient City Of Jerusalem Israel stone is praised throughout the world for its excellence in splendor and the distinctive appearance. They are found in abundance in Jerusalem where most of the buildings are constructed by the same stone. This is the unique character of the city symbolizing the tradition and brilliance at the same time. The stone is a natural beauty and depicts warm and rich colorful shades to be acknowledged throughout the world. Jerusalem stone is used for creating gifts and sculpture which are in great demand for their uniqueness and they are also memorable presents. It is believed that a Holy Cross of Jerusalem stone enhances the spiritual commitment. The gifts are adored and admired by all sections of people.
