Review (in 1996):

The Hebrew University hosts this tour through one of the world's oldest and most culturally rich cities. Step into "The Jerusalem Mosaic" for a concise record of the City of David, home to some of the greatest archaeological finds of this century, and the locus of Jesus' final ministry.

Enter the Haddassah Hospital Synagogue for a bird's eye view of 12 stained-glass windows designed by painter Marc Chagall, representing the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Remarkable photographs of the "new" and the "old" cities' landscapes show just how much of the original architecture still remains, while the city itself forges into the 21st century, its residents now facing some of the hardest political and social realities of its long and colorful life.

A find for archaeologists, theologians, historians, and travelers.
