Aliyah - First Aliyah 1882-1903. Between 1882 and 1903, approximately 35,000 Jews immigrated to Palestine, then a province of the Ottoman Empire.

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Jerusalem 1099 - The siege of Jerusalem

The siege of Arqa lasted until May 13 when the crusaders left, having captured nothing. The Fatimids had attempted to make peace, on the condition that the crusaders not continue towards Jerusalem, but this was of course ignored; Iftikhar ad-Dawla, the Fatimid governor of Jerusalem, apparently did not understand why the crusaders were there at all. On the 13th they came to Tripoli where the ruler of the city gave them money and horses. According to the anonymous chronicle Gesta Francorum, he also vowed to convert to Christianity if th ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Jerusalem 1187 - The siege

Negotiations were carried out between Saladin and Balian, through the mediation of the Yusuf Batit, one of the Eastern Orthodox clergy, who had been largely suppressed under Latin Christian rule and knew that they would have more freedoms if the city were returned to the Muslims.

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Dresden Frauenkirche - Reconstruction

Using original plans used by builder Georg Bähr in the 1720s, reconstruction finally began in January 1993 under the direction of church architect and engineer Eberhard Burger. The foundation stone was laid in 1994, the crypt was completed in 1996 and the inner cupola in 2000. As far as possible, the church – except for its dome – was rebuilt using original material and plans, with the help of modern technology. The heap of rubble was documented and carried off stone by stone. The approximate original position of each stone could ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Tower of Siloam - The fall of the tower and its significance

The Tower of Siloam in the Gospel of Luke records a discourse of Jesus which addresses the apparent fact that disaster falls upon the just as well as the unjust: 1 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 2 And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? 3 I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. 4 Or those eighteen, ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Religious significance of Jerusalem - Jerusalem Jews and Judaism

Religious significance of Jerusalem - Jerusalem in Torah and Tanakh. Jerusalem has long been embedded into the religious consciousness of the Jewish people.

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Robert Maxwell - Business activities

Maxwell - like many successful publishers - sought to buy a daily newspaper, hoping to exercise political influence through the media. In 1969 he was blocked from buying the News of the World by Rupert Murdoch, who became his arch-rival in the British newspaper world. The battle for the News of the World was particularly acrimonious, Maxwell accusing the Murdoch of employing "the laws of the jungle" to acquire the paper and said he had "made a fair and bona fide offer... which has been frustrated and defeated after th ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Siege of Jerusalem 70 - Destruction of Jerusalem

Sulpicius Severus (363–420), referring in his Chronica to Tacitus' (56 BCE–120) earlier account, claimed that Titus favored destroying the Jerusalem Temple to help uproot and demolish both the Jewish and Christian sects. The account of Josephus, generally considered unreliable in this case, described Titus as "moderate" in his approach, and after conferring with others, ordering that then-thousand-year-old Temple be spared. According to Josephus, the Romans soldiers grew furious with Jewish attacks and tactics, and against Titus' orders, set fire to an ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Armenian Quarter - The Armenian people and their establishment in Jerusalem: 95 BC–640 AD

The Armenians are an ancient people who have inhabited parts of Turkey, Iran and the Caucasus for more than three thousand years. The first known instance of an Armenian to come anywhere near Jerusalem arrived in the 95 BC under King Tigranes II of Armenia. The Armenian armies captured Caesarea before leaving the Holy Land. It was at this time that Jews may have come to trade with Armenia and settle in that far away land when likewise some Armenians came to know of the lands around Jerusalem and may have traded with the Herodian Jewish state ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Chronology of Jesus - Birth

Chronology of Jesus - Year of birth. Our only sources of information on Jesus' birth are the gospels of Matthew and Luke. Matthew describes a "Massacre of the Innocents" under Herod the Great, which Jesus's parents avoid through a Flight into Egypt. Luke dates the event according to a pan-Roman census supposedly organized during the reign of Quirinius, in which tax-payers had to return to their ancestral regions. Neither event is known outside the gospels, and both have been challenged as intrinsically unlikely — and this is not even considering the additio ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Messiah - Other historically significant Jewish Messiah claimants

Messiah - Josephus's report of civil unrest in the first century. It had been thought that Josephus asserts that Jesus was indeed the true messiah. No original version of Josephus' writing exists, however, comparisons of various translations have led textual analysts to conclude that this and other statements were later interpolations inserted into the text centuries after the fact and were not written by Josephus himself. However, also from Josephus it appears that in the first century before the destruct ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Armenian Quarter - The Crusader Periods 1099–1187, 1229–1244

In 1009 the Fatamid ruler Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah demolished the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, an act that would help light the spark of the Crusades. Pope Urban II called on Christians throughout Europe to unite and drive out the Seljuk "infidels" who had been harassing and suppressing the Christians trying to live in and pass through the Holy Land. The Pope's call was taken up and the heavily armored crusaders set off across Europe, through the Balkans, past the Byzantine Empire and even wandered in sight of the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia o ...

Mount of Olives: Encyclopedia II - Dresden Frauenkirche - Destruction

On 13 February 1945, Anglo-American allied forces began the bombing of Dresden. The church impressively survived two days and nights of the attacks and the eight interior sandstone pillars supporting the colossal dome held up long enough for the evacuation of 300 people who had sought shelter in the church crypt, before succumbing to the heat generated by some 650,000 incendiary bombs that were dropped on the city. The temperature surrounding and inside the church eventually reached 1,000 degrees Celsius. The dome finally collapsed at 10 a.m ...
