JTicket

All the information about JTicket: There's so much to see in the Jewish Quarter—but where do you start, what shouldn't you miss, and how can you enjoy so many experiences at a fair price? That's exactly why we issued the J-ticket card. The card already comes loaded with all the attractions available in the quarter. Purchasing the card lets you visit four sites out of the variety of attractions loaded onto the card. You have two weeks from the day the card is activated for that. In any case, you don't need to choose in advance, but rather on-site when you physically visit the four sites. So where can you go with a J-Ticket card? If you want to experience what it's like to become a central part of the stories of the Bible—then Living the Bible is the place for you, with costumes, props, backgrounds, and advanced technology.

In the Hurva Synagogue, you'll discover why it was important in Jewish history. In the Herodian Quarter, you can imagine how people lived in the past in the houses of the period. You can complete the picture with a visit to the Burned House, the House of the Katheros family, who lived during the Second Temple period. And strolling through the Cardo—the main axis of Jerusalem during the Byzantine period, around which the city developed—will show you what took place here in those days. Curious to see what daily life looked like for the residents of the Old Yishuv in Jerusalem? You can understand that with a visit to the Old Yishuv Courtyard Museum (excluding events). Don't forget to arrange in advance entry to the Western Wall Plaza's patrol unit house, which tells the story of the Western Wall patrol unit. A jump back in time to a closer era and a special experience awaits you at the Menachem Begin Heritage Center, where you'll learn the story of Begin's life—from his childhood in Europe, through his years commanding the Irgun (Etzel), to his tenure as Prime Minister. In addition, you can enjoy free and complimentary entry also to the Square of Houses for Shelter—"the first housing" built in the Land of Israel, like a "protected housing" for the poor of Jerusalem. In Givatayim to the Fallen of the 1948 war, you'll see how they built a temporary tomb for 48 fallen in the War of Independence before they were transferred to the common graves on Mount Scopus and to a memorial site for the quarter's fighters in 1948—rare historical documentation through a photo exhibition and a film about the quarter's last days and its surrender in the War of Independence. You can see the unique and special mikveh, to which you descend from four directions, in the tiered pool adjacent to the central plaza of the Jewish Quarter. And the broad wall—2,700 years old—built by King Hezekiah to fortify Jerusalem ahead of war with the Assyrian army is a historical site that you shouldn't miss.
