Bern, Switzerland (1225-date)Comments
Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible no fewer than 650 times. The holy city of Jerusalem is fundamental to the Jewish experience. "If I forget thee Jerusalem may my right hand lose its cunning", was the oath taken by Jews of Zion. The yearning never ceased - "Next year in Jerusalem" was said annually. For 1900 years Israel was exiled and Jerusalem with them.
After the War of Independence, for nineteen years Jerusalem was divided between Jordan and Israel. When the Israel Defence Forces liberated the various quarters of the city, in 1967, Jerusalem was reunified into one city with free access to the holy places guaranteed to Jew, Christian and Moslem alike.
