The Foundation Stone is the name of the rock at the heart of the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. It is also known as the Pierced Stone because it has a small hole on the southeastern corner that enters a cavern beneath the rock, known as the Well of Souls. It is the holiest site in Judaism. Jewish tradition views it as the spiritual junction of Heaven and Earth. Jews traditionally face it while praying, in the belief that it was the location of the Holy Of Holies in the Temple.
The Land of Israel is a name for the territory roughly corresponding to the area encompassed by the Southern Levant. Similar biblical, religious and historical English terms include the Land of Canaan, the Promised Land, the Holy Land and Palestine. The definitions of the limits of this territory vary between biblical passages, with these specifically in Genesis 15, Exodus 23, Numbers 34 and Ezekiel 47. Nine times elsewhere in the Bible, the settled land is referred as "from Dan to Beersheba".
Jerusalem, located on a plateau in the Judean Mountains between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea, is one of the oldest cities in the world. It is considered holy to the three major Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam.) Israelis and Palestinians both claim Jerusalem as their capital, as Israel maintains its primary governmental institutions there and the State of Palestine ultimately foresees it as its seat of power; however, neither claim is widely recognized internationally.
Mount Betarim is one of the peaks of Mount Dov (known also as "Jabal Ross"). According to one Jewish tradition this is the site of The covenant of the pieces between Abraham and God. According to Muslim tradition, this is the site in which an event occurred, which is described in the Qur'an, where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice four species of birds, and afterwards resurrected them. Therefore, it was called in Arabic "Mashhad A-Tir al-Ibrahim" meaning "The sacred site of Abraham's birds" or "Makam Ibrahim Al-Khalil" meaning "The sacred site of Abraham, God's friend".
The Southern Wall is a wall at the southern end of the Temple Mount and the former southern side of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It was built during King Herod's expansion of the Temple Mount platform southward on to the Ophel.
