an ancient city in the Middle East that is sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims; the capital of Israel.
From Hebrew 'Yerushalayim,' possibly meaning 'City of Peace' or 'Foundation of Shalem.' The name has been used for over 3,000 years and appears in Biblical texts, Egyptian records, and has been adopted into dozens of languages.
Jerusalem is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities on Earth, and nearly every major religion fought over controlling it—its name literally means 'city of peace,' which is deeply ironic given its complicated history.
