A Journey Through Jerusalem Discover the story of Jerusalem in words and pictures, spanning the ages from Jerusalem's infancy as a small walled town 4000 years ago to the dramatic growth the city has seen in the 20th century. We'll pay a visit to the besieged city when the Assyrian Empire threatened to snuff it out, only to find salvation in the vision of King Hezekiah and the courage of the prophet Isaiah. We'll close with the impressive revival of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel under the leadership of one of its most charismatic leaders, Mayor Teddy Kollek. Half a century ago, a wandering goat brought a shepherd to a narrow opening in the cliffs of the Judean desert.
