The City of David is proud to present: “Hallelujah” - A unique and exciting presentation that tells the story of the rebirth of ancient Jerusalem presented through innovative and groundbreaking technology on the ruins of the City of David, under the open night sky!
More than 2,000 years ago, Jerusalem was destroyed and the Babylonian exile began. After 70 years and against all odds, Nehemiah son of Hachaliah succeeds in harnessing the largest empire in the world and embarks on a dangerous journey to Jerusalem at the head of a small delegation to rebuild the destroyed city, while coping with domestic difficulties and foreign enemies.
