    ​For 2,000 years, the Jewish people longed for Jerusalem. From the moment that David established it as the capital of his kingdom, and his son Solomon built there the House of God, Jerusalem has captured the Jewish imagination.
    As Jewish people all around the world prepare for the High Holidays at this meaningful time in the Jewish calendar, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs invites you to a journey of reflection to explore some of the diverse meanings of Jerusalem through our new and unique reader, "In the Gates of Jerusalem".
    The reader, produced by the Israeli MFA in partnership with the Shalom Hartman Institute, is a collection of writings and poems on the diverse meanings of a united Jerusalem and their implications for contemporary Jewish life and modern Israel.
    The reader also includes remarks by PM Netanyahu and President Rivlin on their "personal Jerusalem".
