Welcome to the Friends of Zion Museum - a fascinating technological interactive museum.

The Benedictine Monastery in Abu Ghosh has been in the village for about 1,000 years, since the time of the Crusades, and includes the Church of the Resurrection. According to Christian belief, Abu Ghosh stands in Emmaus, the place where Jesus revealed himself to his disciples after he was resurrected, and the Church of the Resurrection is devoted to celebrating that revelation. The beautiful monastery was active until the end of the 15th-century, and for some 300 years it stood empty, until the Benedictine presence was renewed and the compound was rebuilt and renovated. It is surrounded by lush greenery, and the walls abound with frescoes, some of which date back to the 12th century.
A fountain flows out from a crypt at the base of the monastery. The monastery echoes with music all year round, but twice a year, the public can come and enjoy the choral music festivals that are held there and at the Notre-Dame de l'Arche d'Alliance church at the other side of town. Besides singing, the monks of the monastery engage in a variety of activities, including preparing lemon liqueur and throwing pots at the local studio. All of the products are sold in a store adjacent to the monastery.

Israel’s second president, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, would often come to pray at this synagogue on Ussishkin Street, and after he died it was renamed HaNassi (the president) Synagogue. Jerusalem author and storyteller Simcha Raz relates that during the High Holidays, Ben-Zvi would be joined at the synagogue by a long list of Israeli dignitaries.

One year, an American tourist came during High Holiday services, and wished to sit down but could not find an empty seat among the throngs of worshipers. So the synagogue’s gabai (beadle) led him to the only empty seat in the house, which happened to be beside the president. During the reading of the Torah, the American guest was called up to the lectern for an aliya and pledged to donate $250,000 to the synagogue. The donation was used to complete the synagogue building, and to this very day, a placard pays tribute to the generous guest, who chose to remain anonymous.

Modeled after the Jewish Holy Temple, Jerusalem’s Great Synagogue is a majestic structure located on King George Street in the center of town. The Great Synagogue was established in 1982 after the adjacent Heichal Shlomo building could no longer contain the throngs of worshipers who were turning up for Sabbath services every week.
The Great Synagogue is dedicated to the memory of those who perished in the Holocaust, as well as Israel’s fallen in the 1948 War of Independence. Services in the main sanctuary on Shabbat and holidays are regularly led by top hazzanim (cantors) in the old Ashkenazi style.
The sanctuary houses breathtaking stained-glass windows and a magnificent chandelier hanging above the ark, and the acoustics  effectively  transmit the professional choir's renditions.
There is also a Sephardic synagogue in the building, and a collection of contemporary mezuzah cases that is among the largest in the world. Those who enjoy the old-world splendor of Ashkenazi liturgical music are advised to stop by on a Saturday morning for Sabbath services – it’s a rare treat.

The Jerusalem Artists' House is situated in a grand historic building on Shmuel Hanagid Street that once housed the Bezalel National Museum, founded by Boris Schatz in 1906. With the Jerusalem Artists' House opening in 1965,  the collections of the Bezalel National Museum became part of the initial collection of the Israel Museum. Ever since then, the house has served as home to the Association for Jerusalem Artists, and in this capacity showcases exhibitions and works of art.
The annual exhibition plan includes a series focusing on notable young artists premiering their works, allowing them to take their first step in the "real" art world, as well as a series of retrospective works by veteran artists. One of the top contemporary art spots in the city, Jerusalem Artists' House regularly features exciting activities, group exhibitions as well as joint presentations for Jerusalem art, Israeli art, and international art. In addition, Hanagid Gallery at the Artists' House sells major collections of art to the public.

In the heart of Jerusalem, in the picturesque music square in the Nahalat Shiv’a neighborhood, there’s a unique experience that awaits you: The Hebrew Music Museum

The Hebrew Music Museum

Be ready for a rare experience when visiting the David Amar Worldwide North Africa Jewish Heritage Center. To begin with, it is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city with views overlooking the Old City. It is a testament to the dreams and hopes of generations of North African Jewry.
A visit to the center is spiritual, cultural and artistic. Much thought and effort has gone into preserving the authentic, ancient atmosphere. The building is greatly enhanced by the visually pleasing Andalusian garden and the Moroccan-Moorish art, in the style of the Alhambra Palace in Granada.
The center works to preserve, pay tribute to and study the legacy of North African Jewry for those in Israel and abroad. It is located on King David Street in the Mahaneh Yisrael neighborhood which was established in 1865. The center is housed in the neighborhood’s oldest building which has served as a learning center for men of North African descent, a hostel, a general house of study and a synagogue. It was renovated after being declared a historic and architectural heritage site. This work was done by artists brought from Morocco and architect Elie Mouyal of Marrakesch under the artistic supervision of artist David Soussana.
Today the building houses exhibition halls with both permanent and temporary exhibitions, photographs of Jewish life in North Africa and unique items from there. There is a research library with original manuscripts, studies and monographs. The center hosts seminars on the topic along with academic institutions.
The David Amar Worldwide North Africa Jewish Heritage Center is also the host of social and cultural events such as literary and study sessions, poetry readings, musical and liturgical evenings, lectures, Oud playing classes and more.

Ticho House is a historic home in downtown Jerusalem, one of the first to be built outside the Old City walls towards the end of the 19th century. Its first resident was Aga Rashid Nashishibi, an affluent member of Jerusalem’s Arab community. In 1924, the house was bought by Avraham Albert Ticho, an ophthalmologist, and his wife, Anna, an artist.
The house, part of which was used as Dr. Ticho’s eye clinic, served as a cultural mecca of sorts, playing host to intellectuals, artists and writers throughout the Tichos’ lifetimes. Anna Ticho bequeathed the house and its contents to the city of Jerusalem.
Today the house serves as an art gallery, managed by the Israel Museum, that displays the works of Anna Ticho, her husband’s Judaica collections, a library and visiting exhibitions. Guests can soak up the authentic Jerusalem atmosphere at the house and sit down in the adjacent restaurant for a light meal and the occasional musical performance.
Ticho House is a true Jerusalem gem, an oasis of culture and quiet a mere five minutes walk from the shopping hub of Jerusalem's city center.

Beit HaRav Kook - The Rabbi Kook House Museum

Before it became HaTzvi Yisrael, this Talbiyeh synagogue was known as Komemiyut. After the creation of the state of Israel, the synagogue received a shipment of antique furniture and artifacts from the synagogue in Busseto, Italy, which had been abandoned by its Jewish residents at the end of the 19th century.
The Italian synagogue was guarded vigilantly by a non-Jewish resident of the city until its contents immigrated to Israel, including the ark. HatZvi Yisrael includes several prayer rooms, where services are held at various times of the day.

Jason was a High Priest in the Second Temple during the second century BC. He was instated in 175 BC by Antiochus Epiphanes after the latter ascended the throne of the Seleucid Empire and Jason offered to pay him for the appointment. Three years later, Jason’s term ended when his rival, Melenaus, “outbid” him for the position. Jason was forced to flee.
His tomb was discovered on Alfasi Street in the Rehavia neighborhood in 1956 when a charge was detonated in order to clear away rocks for a new apartment building. The structure comprises a courtyard and a burial chamber, decorated by a Doric column. The walls are adorned with charcoal drawings and carved inscriptions in Aramaic and Greek including one that bemoans Jason’s passing: “A powerful lament make for Jason, son of P...(my brother) peace ... who hast built thyself a tomb, Elder rest in peace.” During the excavations, archaeologists also unearthed various coins from the Hasmonean and Roman periods.

Researchers, students and those who want to learn more about taxation will find the Museum of Taxes fascinating. The museum was established by the State Revenue Administration of the Ministry of Finance in 1964. The original offices were on Agron Street before relocating in 2006 to its current location on Agripas Street and updating and computerizing many displays.
The idea behind establishing the museum was to explain to the public the importance of proper management of taxes, to show the link between the tax office and a citizen’s daily life and to create a central point for all information and visual material pertaining to the subject of taxation in Israel and in Jewish communities of the diaspora from the ancient world till now. The museum collection comprises documents, certificates, photographs and other items on topics that include:
 • Taxes of the ancient world and in biblical texts
• State taxes in Jewish communities of the Diaspora
• Taxation in Israel during the Ottoman Period, the British Mandate and following the establishment of the State of Israel
• The development of the marking system as proof of payment of taxes
• Prevention of smuggling and importation of illegal goods (such as gambling accessories, weaponry, drugs)
• International relations in the field of taxation
• Taxation around the world
• Taxation as part of Israel's foreign policy
• A display of letters by famous personalities querying tax authorities, such as Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, Leah Goldberg and Ze’ev Vilnai. 
Each display has an English description. 
Entrance is free of charge, and museum visits should be coordinated in advance by phone with Mira Dror: +972-2-625-7597 or +972-2-531-7332 or +972-50-620-8458 (mobile).

The Makhkame is a magnificent Islamic madrasa founded by the Mameluke Emir Tankiz in year 1328/9. Following the Mameluke conquest in 1260, Jerusalem became a center of pilgrimage for Muslims, who also settled there and became a significant part of the city’s population. During this era Jerusalem saw a religious prosperity which lead to the establishment of many religious institutions, along with the construction of water facilities for the benefit of the pilgrims and the city’s residents, markets and public institutions.

Many Madrasas were built around the Temple Mount, serving as centers for religious studies. The Makhkame was one of the most famous Madrasas in Jerusalem during these days, and it was built by the Emir Tankiz, ruler of Damascus. Tankiz built additional buildings throughout the country and Jerusalem, among them Khan Nebi Yamin in Jaljulia- next to Kfar Saba, “The Cup” (El Kes)- a drinking and purifying facility in the Temple Mount, the cotton market etc.

One can see in the impressive entrance of the building the decorations characteristic of this era: guilloches of black and white stones (Ablaq), stone-carved Muqarnases, stone benches at the entrance and a decorated inscription bearing the Heraldic symbol of Tankiz: a goblet inside a medallion.

Starting from the end of the 15th century, the building served as a courthouse (Makhkame), and it kept its name till this day. Since 1968 the building serves as a base for the Israeli Magav (Border Guards).

Set up in 2004, the Agripas 12 Cooperative Gallery in Jerusalem functions independently on the basis of cooperation between its members. It has become a center of creative and free activity on the local art scene. The fifteen gallery members work in various fine arts, and have maintained the gallery voluntarily, financing it without the help of public bodies and with no profit motive.
The vision of the Agripas 12 group is to grow into a local, country-wide and international network of independent groups of artists who contribute to broadening the art discourse and changing the accepted patterns in the political- business forces at work in the art field. The gallery is situated in the heart of Jerusalem and exhibitions change monthly. Since its foundation, it has held some  60 solo and group exhibitions.
Gallery talks are held regularly at Agripas 12, with the participation of artists, lecturers and curators, in addition to poetry readings. The gallery has been acknowledged as an important cultural venue in Israel, especially in Jerusalem.

One of Jerusalem’s prime hangout spots for locals and tourists alike, Ben Yehuda Street is a pedestrian mall extending between King George Street and Jaffa Road in downtown Jerusalem. Commonly referred to as "The Midrechov" (a Hebrew portmanteau merging the words for "street" and "sidewalk"), Ben Yehuda has been closed to motorized traffic since 1983 – a trend that has since extended to several more streets in the surrounding area.
Ben Yehuda Street attracts a constant throng of tourists, who mill about the many gift shops and stop for falafel or ice cream in one of the small eateries lining the street. Entertainment abounds - often impromptu- as Ben Yehuda Street is often dotted with musicians and street performers, and during summer and holiday seasons, the municipality hosts festivals  live music festivals.
From souvenirs to shoes, meat bistros to frozen yogurt stands, Ben Yehuda Street is a must any Jerusalem visit.
