Founded by Holocaust survivors more than 25 years ago, the organization is dedicated to teaching about the Holocaust and the dangers of unchallenged hate. It also teaches people about the history of Judaism and the beliefs of Judaism. Like, it tells people that prejudice is wrong because that’s what Jews strongly believe in. There are about 5.3 million Jews in America that practice Judaism.

1: The Hedrod's Temple in Jerusalem: Location of Conflict
Painting of the Herods Temple. Currently in the Israel Museum.
The first Jewish-Roman War (years 66–73CE), sometimes called The Great Revolt, was the first of three major rebellions by the Jews of Iudaea Province against the Roman Empire. It began in the year 66, stemming from Greek and Jewish religious tension. It ended when legions under Titus besieged and destroyed Jerusalem, looted and burned Herod's Temple (in the year 70)and Jewish strongholds (notably Gamla in 67 and Masada in 73), and enslaved or massacred a large part of the Jewish population.
The Herod’s Temple would be a relevant place to the conflict because this was the temple that was destroyed by Roman troops, under the rule of Titus during the age of the Jewish-Roman War in 70 CE.

Abraham
According to Jewish tradition, Abraham was born under the name Abram in the city of Ur in Mesopatamia in the year 1948 from Creation (circa 1800 BCE) and he was father of the Jews, making him the Patriarch of Israel. He was the son of Terach, an idol merchant, but from his early childhood, he questioned the faith of his father and sought the truth. He came to believe that the entire universe was the work of a single Creator, and he began to teach this belief to others.
Ur , Mesapotamia is significant for Abraham because this is the town in the Hebrew Bible and related literature where Abraham was said to have been born. The traditional site of Abraham's birth is in the vicinity of Edessa although Ur Ka?dim has been popularly identified since 1927 by Sir Charles Woolley with the Sumerian city of Ur, in southern Mesopotamia.

3: Gaza, Gaza Strip: Location of Current Event Stop
This is the land that the Palestinians and Jews are fighting over.
In the Gaza Strip, which is controlled by the Palestinians, Palestinians are trying to kill the Jews because they think think that they own the land that the Jews live on (which is in Gaza). They are doing anything possible to get back the land. People are trying to make a place where the Jews can stay during this horrific event is happening.
Gaza, is the place where the Palestinians and Jews are fighting for land. The Jewish people believe that Israel is their land because that is where Moses led them, in the desert, for 40 years.

4: Mt. Yeroham-Additional Stop 1
This is a painting of Mt. Sinai. Moses led the Jew's out of the Egyptian slavery. This happened in the book of Exodus. Then Moses led them into the desert for forty years. In the desert Moses led the Jews to Mt. Sinai. Many people believe Mt. Yeroham is the holy Mt. Sanai. Mt. Sanai is the place the 10 commandments were made by God and Moses together. The 10 commandments are the base rules of the Jewish religion as well as Islamic and Christian, because those 2 religions are based off of Judaism. The Ten Commandments are the base of the Jewish faith.

The Jews believe that a Prophet is a person speaking for God. But a prophet doesn't nessecarily have to be a man or a Jew. They also believe that prophecy is not a gift that is just given to you, but rather it's a culmination of a person's spiritual and ethnical development. The greatest of the prophets was Moses.
Moses led the Jews out of Tunis, Egypt. The reason why our stop is at Cairo is because present day Tunis is right where Cairo is located.

6: Nile River, Egypt: Additional Stop 3
This side of the Nile River is by a village.
Moses, the most famous of all personalities in the Bible, was chosen to be the leader of the Jewish people, to lead them out of the slavery in Egypt and to give them the Torah. In the Exodus account, the birth of Moses occurred at a time when the current Egyptian Pharaoh had commanded that all male Hebrew children born be killed by drowning in the river Nile. But Moses’s mother saved him by putting him in a basket and she flowed the basket into the Nile River, which was then received by a poor family in Egypt .
Nile River, Egypt would be a relevant place for Moses’s because this was the river in which Moses’s mother flowed him in order to save him from the cruel Egyptian Pharoah.

The Siddur is the Jewish prayer book. It contains a set order of daily prayers and blessings that one should recite on week days and Sabbath. It also is among the most widely-circulated and best-known of Jewish books, and is the first book a religious Jew would learn to read. The Siddur was created during the period of the Geonim, the heads of rabbinic academies in Babylonia in the early Middle Ages. Localized versions of the Siddur emerged among Jewish communities around the world. The Siddur was printed by Soncino in Lazio, Italy. Lazio, Italy would be a relevant location for Siddur because this was the city in which this important and special book was printed by Soccino.

8: First Temple in Jerusalem: Extra Credit Location
The First Temple in Jerusalem, Israel
King Solomon was a Jew and a figure described in Middle Eastern scriptures as a wise ruler of an empire centred on the United Kingdom of Israel. He was born in Jerusalem about 1000 BC and reigned over Israel from 971 BC to 931 BC.31 The Hebrew Bible accounts identify Solomon as the son of David. He is also called Jedidiah in the Tanakh (Old Testament), and is described as the third king of the United Monarchy, and the final king before the northern Kingdom of Israel and the southern Kingdom of Judah split; following the split his patrilineal descendants ruled over Judah alone. The Bible accredits Solomon as the builder of the First Temple in Jerusalem, and portrays him as great in wisdom, wealth, and power. Solomon is the subject of many other later references and legends. First Temple in Jerusalem would be a relevant location for King Solomon because the bible accredits Solomon as the builder of this temple. It is also the first temple of the ancient Hebrew religion in Jerusalem. It functioned as a religious focal point for worship and the sacrifices known as the Korbanot in ancient Judaism. Completed in the 10th century BCE, it was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The reconstructed temple in Jerusalem, which stood between 516 BCE and 70 CE, was the Second Temple, which is also called the Herods Temple.(For more info about Herods Temple go the Location of Conflict Stop)
