The Jewish Quarter's Rebirth After 1967

6 min•28 april 2026

After the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel captured East Jerusalem and for the first time in 19 years gained control of the Jewish Quarter of the Old City. What they found was shocking: centuries-old synagogues reduced to rubble, homes destroyed, and the historic Hurva Synagogue a mere shell. This episode follows the quarter's dramatic recovery through archaeology, political controversy, and religious renewal. We walk through the excavated Herodian street beneath the modern quarter, explore the restored Tiferet Yisrael and Hurva synagogues, and examine the 'Jordanian period' (1948–1967) when many Jewish holy sites were deliberately damaged. Lucas and Luna also discuss the ongoing tensions between Israeli sovereignty, Palestinian claims, and the delicate balance of religious coexistence in this ancient neighborhood. Featuring the Broad Wall from Hezekiah's time, the burnt house from 70 CE, and the mosaic-domed Ramban Synagogue founded in 1267.
