No matter who you are or what you believe, there’s a good chance that you might find Jerusalem, and its 26 centuries of history, an important location to visit. And the port of Ashdod is your gateway to it! Jewish people prize Jerusalem’s so-called “Western Wall” — the last remaining piece of their Second Temple — while Muslims believe a spot near the Al-Aqsa Mosque, itself very important, was the place from which Muhammad ascended to Heaven. Christians observe the Stations of the Cross along Via Dolorosa, not to mention Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity and the Garden of Gethsemane. But it’s important to remember that Jerusalem is more than just a collection of antiquities and perhaps the ultimate pilgrimage spot, but a bustling city where people live.
