The first book to cover the fascinating story of Jewish pilgrimage
from its mythic beginnings to current times. The history and
breadth of Jewish pilgrimage traditions is rich and varied. Here
the authors tell the fascinating, and sometimes harrowing, story of
Jewish pilgrimage from the beginnings of Judaism to the present
time. They trace the history of Jewish pilgrimage and show how the
repeated cycles of exile and return to Israel serve the Jews as a
kind of pilgrimage in reverse. This lively account is sure to
appeal to anyone interested in religious pilgrimage, tourism, and
travel. From Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives, to the tombs of
King David, Rachel, and Joseph, from Galilee to Curacao, Jewish
pilgrims seek out spiritual transcendence, a return to their roots,
communion with those who have gone before, and connection to their
common heritage as they visit holy shrines, important synagogues
around the world, Nazi death camps, and the graves of leaders,
among other places. But what makes these places holy? And what
purpose do the pilgrimages serve? How has recent unrest in the
Middle East contributed to, or detracted from, modern Jewish
pilgrimage and its future? comprehensive historical overview of
Jewish pilgrimage. It includes photographs of sites discussed in
the book. It is the first book that looks exclusively at Jewish
pilgrimage in its entirety. It also considers the current situation
in the Middle East and the current state of Jewish pilgrimage.
