The Torah highlights Avraham's purchase of the Cave of Machpelah as a pivotal, defining moment in the history of the Jewish nation - the first Jewish land acquisition in Israel. Burial of the Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs in the Cave of Machpelah was the precedent that established the significance of Jewish burial in Israel.
Today, you have the opportunity to embrace the heritage of our forefathers by selecting burial in Sha'ar HaZeitim.
Acquire a piece of eternity
Sha'ar HaZeitim is the final section being developed on Har HaZeitim.
Location
Located adjacent to the Temple Mount, where the Holy Temple once stood, Har HaZeitim is a sacred mountain, and is Judaism's original cemetery. Our sages teach us that the Messiah will emanate from this spot, blowing the shofar from the peak of Har HaZeitim, thereby resurrecting the dead, and ushering in the final redemption.
Modern application of Jerusalem design
Sha'ar HaZeitim epitomizes the symmetrical beauty of Jerusalem’s timeless architecture. The crispstone terraces offer unobstructed views of the Kidron Valley adhering to the most stringent religious standards.
Each structure is constructed with precision and symmetry and engineered with elegantly spaced, unified rows. This cemetery features an extensive network of stairwells and pathways, which allows for the easy flow of pedestrian traffic.
Accessibility
Sha'ar HaZeitim is designed for comfortable visitation, with parking areas and a grid of pathways that ensures ease of access to every plot.
Sha'ar HaZeitim is a project unprecedented on the Mount of Olives in its comfort, aesthetic, and accessibility.
Carefully developed with an emphasis on accessibility and modern application of ancient Jerusalem design, Sha'ar HaZeitim offers the opportunity to be buried in Jerusalem with unrivaled dignity and kavod.
Thoroughly compliant with both legal and Halachic guidelines, the project has been endorsed by respected Rabbinic figures worldwide.
