Why do Jews go to Hebron?
In Jewish tradition, Hebron represents a return to one's spiritual roots. It is in Hebron where one can feel a connection to the Patriarchs and the holy land.
The purpose of our trip is to visit the Cave of the Patriarchs, also known as the Cave of Machpelah, which is believed to be the burial site of the Jewish patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as well as their wives Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah. For 700 years, Jews were unable to visit these sacred places, and only after the end of the Six-Day War was access restored. Prayers at the graves of rabbis, righteous individuals, and the Patriarchs themselves carry a special significance and power. Hundreds of thousands of tourists and pilgrims from different countries visit the sanctuary of Hebron each year.
The Tomb of Rachel is the resting place and memorial site where, according to tradition, the matriarch Rachel was buried. Rachel was the wife of the biblical patriarch Jacob and died while giving birth. Rachel symbolizes a mother who gave birth at the cost of her own life, showing compassion to her children and caring for their destiny.
This place has attracted Jewish pilgrims for centuries. It is also a holy site for other religions, where anyone can offer prayers.
Thousands of mothers come to the tomb of the matriarch Rachel to seek her help in everything related to pregnancy, easy childbirth, motherhood, health, and success for their children.

There are a lot of biblical events associated with this place. Jesus Christ preached on Mount of Olives. Moreover, at that place he foresaw the future of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, prayed in the olive grove of Gethsemane, was arrested due to the betrayal of one of his apostles - Judah. Also, in ancient times, the prophet Zechariah made a prediction about the end of the world. According to that predicition, Mount of Olives will split into two parts, and then the resurrection of the dead will begin. On the western slope of the mountain is a Jewish cemetery, where the son of King David Absalom was once buried, and now prominent statesmen of Israel are buried there.
The Western Wall or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is the wall preserved after the destruction of the First and Second Temples of the Jews. The Arabs, who saw how the Jews grieve over the destruction of the temple, called this place the Wailing Wall. Currently, there is a tradition: when you standing at the front of Wailing Wall you can make the most secret dreams. You can also put a note between the stones of the Wall with a cherished desire, which will certainly come true. When you are planning to visit the Wailing Wall, it should be remembered that this is possible only in modest clothing that covers the knees and shoulders.
