KOHANIM CAUTION!!! Even though this is a Muslim Cemetery, it is right next to Har Hazeisim. Details Google Maps --- Duration 20MIN Caution! The Golden Gate is next to a Muslim cemetery, DO NOT walk there by yourself! Also, don't talk loudly, this is a sensitive location. *At the north of The Eastern Wall of Har Habayis is the Lions' Gate. The famous video of the Jewish soldiers running into the old city during the Six-Day War happened there. *In the middle of The Eastern Wall is one of the most important locations in Yiddishkeit, Sha'ar Harachamim. This entrance has several names, including Shushan Gate, and The Golden Gate. It is here that Moshaich will enter Har Habayis. As such, 500 years ago, the Muslim ruler sealed the entrance and put a Muslim cemetery there to try to stop Moshaich from arriving. The funny thing is, that the Muslim Sultan was worried about Moshiach! (When Moshiach comes the rules of Taharah will be different. We can also just remove the cemetery) *On The Eastern Wall, the first 3 letters of Hashem's 4 letter name appear! *By the southern part of the wall, you can see how the stones change. This is due to the Chashmonaim and Herod extending Har Habayis. The Kidron-Valley Har-Hazeisim and The-Eastern-Wall are next to each other and can be done in one trip.

(my videos from this travel) Details Google Maps --- Duration 20MIN In the Kidron Valley, there are some famous monuments. *Tomb of Avshalom. It is unlikely that it is his tomb, however, there may have been a structure there before 2000 years ago that was knocked down to make room for this monument. There was an old custom of throwing stones at the monument. Residents of Yerushalayim would bring their misbehaving children here to teach them what happens to rebellious children. *Tomb of the Benei Chezir. This was the family tomb of a wealthy family called the Benei Chezir. Possibly linked to the Cohanic family of the Benei Chezir. *Tomb of Zechariah. This tomb is said to be the Kever of the Navi Zechariah, but it is disputed. History -The Kidron Valley is one of the most important locations in the world, it is here that Hashem will judge the nations, Techiyas Hameisim will happen nearby, and Moshiach will ride across the valley on a donkey.
