Jerusalem Today 11/09

This is what Jerusalem is like today. The ancient city of Jerusalem was within the stone wall so you can see that Jerusalem is much larger today - this is way outside the old city wall. The population today is approximately 750k which is the largest city in Israel. Tel Aviv has a 400k population. Jerusalem is a cultural center. The total population of Israel is 7.5 million people.






All the houses and buildings are built with a white stone - limestone.
This stone is commonly known as "Jerusalem stone."

















This is a school where the boys are having recess behind the school.
