在文字中感受耶路撒冷之美 Quotes about Jerusalem

今天这一期你将在文字中感受耶路撒冷的美，从犹太历史、文化、宗教和政治等角度感受这座历史悠久的圣城。

三千年来，耶路撒冷一直是犹太人盼望和渴望的中心。在历史、文化、宗教和民族意识方面，没有其他城市像耶路撒冷这样在犹太人和犹太教生活中发挥主导作用。在数个世纪的流亡期间，耶路撒冷一直活在各地犹太人的心中，作为犹太历史的焦点、远古的荣耀、实践信仰和现代复兴的象征。犹太人的心灵产生了这样一种想法，如果你想用一个简单的词来描绘犹太人的历史，那就是“耶路撒冷”。

——泰迪·科勒克

“For three thousand years, Jerusalem has been the center of Jewish hope and longing. No other city has played such a dominant role in the history, culture, religion and consciousness of a people as has Jerusalem in the life of Jewry and Judaism. Throughout centuries of exile, Jerusalem remained alive in the hearts of Jews everywhere as the focal point of Jewish history, the symbol of ancient glory, spiritual fulfillment and modern renewal. This heart and soul of the Jewish people engenders the thought that if you want one simple word to symbolize all of Jewish history, that word would be ‘Jerusalem.’”

Teddy Kollek
