A discription of this class as found on Aish Audio:

Jerusalem. Why does it attract so much debate, conflict and conquest? At a wedding ceremony we break a glass under the canopy to keep in mind that the Holy City has not reached its completion. And Jerusalem is always on the lips of a Jew during prayer - asking for our nations speedy return. What makes this city so significant to so many people, and what is God's special relationship with Jerusalem that the world continues to fight over its promise of inner fulfillment and world peace?
