A fascinating journey to the homes of the rich, leaders and priests of Jerusalem in the days of the Second Temple, about two thousand years ago. During the Six Day War, IDF soldiers that had entered the Old City rushed over to the Temple Mount and the Jewish Quarter. What they found was a sad sight: the Jewish Quarter stood crumbling and in ruins, after having been neglected for 19 years of Jordanian occupation. It was clear that urgent action was needed in order to restore what was possible and clear away the rubble of many buildings. The Israeli government understood that a historical window of opportunity was opened that would allow, during construction, archaeological excavation on an unprecedented large scale in the area of the quarter. So it happened that precisely the ruin of the quarter was what allowed researchers to raise the image of Jerusalem from ancient times out of the dust and rubble. One of the great surprises waiting for the researchers was in the “Herodian Quarter”, which is an opulent residential neighborhood dating back to the days of the Herod the Great dynasty. Today, descending down to three hundred meters below the Quarter’s surface level will take you two thousand years back in time, and the homes of Jerusalem’s rich will rise from the dirt before your very eyes. At the end of the Second Temple period, Jerusalem reached a size of 1,600 dunams (around 1.5 times larger than the current area of the Old City). It sprawled over several hills: the Temple sat atop Temple Mount; at its foothills, on the City of David hill, was ‘the Lower City’ where the poor folk of the city lived alongside an affluent population that built its palaces along the route leading up from the Pool of Siloam to the Temple Mount. On the Western Hill, where we stand, lived the nobility of Jerusalem and affluent kohanim (priests) may have also lived here. You can really imagine how the residents of the neighborhood would go out for an evening stroll on the rooftops of their houses and look to the east toward the Temple Mount, the beating heart of the city, and the largest holy site in the whole of the Roman Empire. North of the Western Hill and north of the Temple Mount were additional neighborhoods, and the entire city was surrounded by three huge walls. When exploring the past, we often come across stories about rulers, heroes and extraordinary acts of wonder, but here, in the Herodian Quarter, we get a rare glimpse into the daily lives of people like ourselves who lived in the city 2,000 years ago. During your tour of the Herodian Quarter, you will see the living quarters that were decorated with colorful frescoes, the floors adorned with ornate mosaics, the many mikvehs indicating that the rituals of purity were maintained, the plates on which delicacies were served, the flasks in which they stored their wine and the heavy stone cups they used to drink from at mealtimes. Ornate stone tables that were used by servants to serve the refreshments were also found here. Don’t forget to look for a copy of the Temple Menorah, engraved into one of the walls by one of the residents of these houses. Who knows, maybe it was a Kohen who saw for himself the Menorah that was up in the Temple at the time, just a few hundred meters from this spot.
