In the 1980s, Rebbe Yissachar Dov spearheaded plans for a huge synagogue to be erected in the Kiryat Belz neighborhood of Jerusalem. Like the original synagogue of Belz which took 15 years to complete, the new Beis HaMedrash HaGadol ("The Great Synagogue") that now dominates the northern Jerusalem skyline also took 15 years to construct and was dedicated in 2000. Its main sanctuary seats 6000 worshipers (though crowds on the High Holy Days exceed 8000), making it the second largest Jewish house of worship in the world.

Memorials \ Yitzhak and Leah Rabin's Grave, Mt. Herzl
Fifth Israeli Prime Minister, he was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli, Yigal Amir, who opposed his government’s signing of the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians. He was the first Israeli-born Prime Minister, and the second to die in office. He was born in Jerusalem, in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine, of Russian-Jewish parents.

The Western Wall sometimes referred to as the Wailing Wall or simply the Kotel (lit. Wall; Ashkenazic pronunciation: Kosel), and as al-Buraaq Wall by Muslims, is an important Jewish religious site located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great.

Yet he was pierced through for our faults, crushed for our sins. On him lies a punishment that brings un peace, and through his wounds we are healed. (Is. 53, 5)
It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick...I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. (Matthew 9, 12-13)
