Station: [26] Judaism


This is the space of Judaism. Jesus was a Jew. Two things: at the entrance on the right you can see a mezuzah. This is a capsule with a text from the Torah, the most important part of the Bible.

You will find this mezuzah on all the gates and doors of believing Jews, even in hotels in Israel. So that people remember when they enter a new room that they are only servants of God and not servants of someone else who acts like God and wants to oppress us. I belong only to God, says the text, and to no one else
