Step into the living waters of Jewish history with a journey through Jerusalem’s heritage mikva’ot (ritual baths) — sacred spaces of purity, preparation, and renewal.
Our day begins in the City of David, where pilgrims once immersed before ascending to the Temple. Here, ancient stone pools and channels tell the story of a city alive with ritual and faith over 2,000 years ago.
We continue to the Ophel excavations along the Southern Wall, where dozens of mikva’ot lined the path leading to the Temple Mount. These sites bring to life the experience of Jewish worshippers arriving in Jerusalem during the great festivals.
Finally, we enter the Jewish Quarter, where mikva’ot preserved in family homes and communal spaces reveal how ritual immersion shaped the rhythm of daily Jewish life.
This inspiring tour offers a unique perspective on Jerusalem’s past, connecting archaeology, spirituality, and tradition in the city at the heart of the Jewish story.
