El molino, junto con sus casas de pueblo mágico, fueron el primer asentamiento que Jerusalén tuvo fuera de sus murallas en siglos. Le llaman el Molino de Montefiore, el filántropo que quiso crear una Jerusalén renovada.

(July 18, 2021 / Israel Hayom) Like a well-kept secret, the cisterns of the Temple Mount are concealed, barred and padlocked by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf. In ancient times, the cisterns refreshed pilgrims arriving at the Temple. A few originally functioned as shaft graves or quarries from which stones were carved to build the Temple, filling with water only years later.

According to archaeologists’ calculations, to transport 26,417 gallons of water from the Gihon Spring 2,624 feet to one small cistern on the Mount would have taken at

Imperdible: la Jerusalem que no has visto jamás

Una creación del artista, fotógrafo y cineasta Eitan Asraf.

Were it not for an eccentric Finn and a former officer in the British army, King David’s family tombs might never have been found. No, we don’t mean the tomb on Mount Zion, whose doubtful sighting is based on Christian traditions from the Middle Ages. Rather, we are referring to a group of tunnels and caves in the City of David that more closely fit the biblical description. These were uncovered during excavations adjacent to Beit Meyuhas, a 19th-century house built by one of the first

WATCH: Why Did This Islamic Group Illegally Remove Temple Mount Artifacts?


The Temple Mount Sifting project began 20 years ago when the Islamic Waqf illegally removed 9,000 tons of soil from the Jewish Temple Mount, which contained a plethora of artifacts spanning thousands of years.

In 1999, the Islamic organization entrusted with overseeing the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where a mosque was constructed following the second Jewish Temple’s destruction, embarked on an illegal construction project.
