Several members are under contested control and are claimed by more than one tradition; where that is so the atlas records each tradition's claim under its own name for the place, and treats neither name as the place's own. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1BrowseCompareSelect all 21Central Synagogue of AleppoJewish Sites2 linksMasadaJewish Sites3 linksMeronJewish Sites6 linksMount NeboJewish Sites4 linksMount of OlivesJewish Sites7 linksMount ZionJewish Sites6 linksPortuguese SynagogueJewish Sites2 linksRachel's TombJewish Sites6 linksSafedJewish Sites10 linksThe AltneuschulJewish Sites6 linksThe Ben Ezra Synagogue and the Cairo GenizaJewish Sites4 linksThe Cave of the Patriarchs and the Ibrahimi MosqueJewish Sites7 linksThe El Ghriba SynagogueJewish Sites3 linksThe First Temple (Solomon's Temple)Jewish Sites7 linksThe Great Synagogue of VilnaJewish Sites6 linksThe Paradesi SynagogueJewish Sites4 linksThe Synagogues of ToledoJewish Sites3 linksThe Temple Mount and al-Haram al-SharifJewish Sites27 linksThe Western WallJewish Sites12 linksTouro SynagogueJewish Sites2 linksUmanJewish Sites6 linksLearn MoreThe holy places of Judaism This group gathers the sacred sites of Judaism, whose holiness is bound above all to the land of Israel and to Jerusalem, the site of the Temple. With the Temple long destroyed, its surviving Western Wall is the most venerated site in Jewish tradition, and the tombs of the patriarchs and sages are places of prayer and pilgrimage. The browser will find Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the patriarchal tombs, ancient synagogues and other holy places. The entries describe each site's history and religious meaning across the long span of Jewish tradition.Sources1. Divinity Atlas Directory Taxonomy, First Edition Category Treetier 12.
