Wikipedia notes elsewhere that cultural traditions can be "recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity," the same kind of international listing that applies to World Heritage sites. Browsing by UNESCO status lets a visitor see which sacred sites carry that international recognition and which do not.FactsLearn MoreNot InscribedSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsOverviewWhat Defines This GroupingWell-attestedHoliness bound to the land of Israel and above all to Jerusalem and the Temple, together with the tombs of patriarchs and sages and the synagogues of the diaspora. Several members are under contested control and are claimed by more than one tradition; where that is so the atlas records each tradition's claim under its own name for the place, and treats neither name as the place's own. 2DirectoryCategoryWell-attestedSacred Sites 1Learn MoreThe holy places of Judaism This group gathers the sacred sites of Judaism, whose holiness is bound above all to the land of Israel and to Jerusalem, the site of the Temple. With the Temple long destroyed, its surviving Western Wall is the most venerated site in Jewish tradition, and the tombs of the patriarchs and sages are places of prayer and pilgrimage. The browser will find Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, the patriarchal tombs, ancient synagogues and other holy places. The entries describe each site's history and religious meaning across the long span of Jewish tradition.Not InscribedFilter Results10 entriesPilgrimage StatusAllMajor pilgrimage destination today (3)Pilgrimage attested historically; not continuing (1)Pilgrimage gathered on a dated festival (3)Originated InAllEastern Europe (1)India (1)Indian Subcontinent (1)North America (1)The Levant (7)United States (1)Origin Period Start YearAll1500 (1)1568 (1)1763 (1)1810 (1)Practice StatusAllControl of or access to the site is contested (2)Historical; not practised continuously (2)In active religious use (9)Site TypeAllChurch, cathedral or chapel (1)Sacred city or quarter (1)Sacred mountain, hill or peak (3)Synagogue (2)Temple or temple complex (1)Tomb or grave of a holy figure (3)TraditionAllChristianity (3)Islam (1)Judaism (10)CountryAllIndia (1)Israel (5)Jordan (1)Palestine (1)Ukraine (1)United States (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 10MeronNot InscribedMount NeboNot InscribedMount of OlivesNot InscribedMount ZionNot InscribedRachel's TombNot InscribedSafedNot InscribedThe First Temple (Solomon's Temple)Not InscribedThe Paradesi SynagogueNot InscribedTouro SynagogueNot InscribedUmanNot InscribedSources1.
