Jerusalem - City of Justice

We attempt to show that the spiritual character of Jerusalem and the Temple are bound up with justice. Jerusalem is a place that expresses the source and essence of justice, and the absence of justice in this place leads to its destruction.

Jerusalem – which is called tzedek, justice – fundamentally expresses the principle of justice; without it, this city cannot exist.
