3000 years to Jerusalem

State Medal, 1995

3,000 years ago, King David conquered Jerusalem from the Jebusites. "City of David" was established on the "Jebusite shoulder" above the Shiloah spring. It was surrounded on three sides by deep valleys, and above it, on the north side, towered the Temple Mount. David made Jerusalem the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. For the first time, all the institutions and powers of the kingdom, political and spiritual, were concentrated in one place and in one hand. His son Solomon completed the craft and erected the temple on the Temple Mount. Many peoples ruled Jerusalem, but more than it conquered - they were conquered by it. Even today, Jerusalem ignites the imaginations of millions of people around the world, and everyone has a part in it. The thousands of years of Jerusalem crystallized and laid layer upon layer upon it, but also did not overshadow the initial essence imprinted in the City of David - the City of Eternity.
