BEITH DAVID - FROM AN ICONIC LOCATION ON MOUNT ZION

Atop Mount Zion, in a place steeped in history and spirituality, stands Beith David, dedicated to restoring ancient wisdom and the institutions of Israel's tradition. This unique site overlooks two of Jerusalem's most iconic landmarks: the Tomb of King David and the Hall of the Last Supper (Upper Room), witnesses to centuries of prayer, revelation, and encounters between civilizations.

Located on the roof of this historic complex, Beith David sits alongside a space that once housed the office of President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi, a fervent defender of Jewish heritage.

At this precise location is also the mysterious Dome of the Spirit (Kippat haRuach in Hebrew, قبة الروح in Arabic), whose symbolism spans the ages and traditions. This dome, visible from afar, marks a point of elevation, both physical and spiritual, a place where the spirit of prophecy and transmission breathes.

Beith David continues this mission of preservation and rebirth. It is a place of study, prayer, and reflection, where those working to restore the Great Sanhedrin of Jerusalem and spread the light of the Torah meet. From this strategic location, we aspire to revive Israel's spiritual sovereignty and prepare for the return of divine justice to the land of Israel.

A CROSSROADS OF NATIONS AND BELIEFS

Jerusalem is the heart of the world, and Mount Zion is one of its most powerful beats. From this holy place, Beth David carries a message of universality and fidelity to the roots of the Jewish people. Anyone who is there feels the echo of age-old prayers and the power of divine promises.

Here, atop Mount Zion, we work to unite the past, present, and future in a single purpose: the restoration of David's kingship and the spiritual upliftment of Israel and the nations.

BETWEEN PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE

This small dome, often overlooked by visitors, is intriguing because of its name and uncertain origin. The history and function of the Dome of the Spirit remain enigmatic, and several theories circulate about it:

An Islamic vestige:
Some scholars believe it was built during the Mamluk or Ottoman era, perhaps as a mihrab (prayer niche) or observation point. Its architecture is reminiscent of some small Islamic buildings used for prayer or contemplation.

A mystical meaning:
Its name, "Dome of the Spirit," may refer to a more esoteric dimension. In Jewish tradition, Mount Zion is a place associated with prophecy and the Shekhina (the Divine Presence). Some see a connection between prophecy and spirituality, suggesting that this dome marks a point of convergence between the physical and spiritual worlds.

A link with the Sanhedrin or the kingship of David:
Located atop the site attributed to King David, this place may symbolize Israel's spiritual and legal authority. It is possible that the name "Dome of the Spirit" evokes the breath of divine wisdom, such as that which inspired the kings and judges of Israel.

A point of spiritual and strategic elevation:
Overlooking Jerusalem, this dome is a crossroads of Jewish, Christian and Muslim traditions, reinforcing its universal character.

Today, with Beith David, this dome takes on a new meaning: that of a point of convergence between the history of David's kingship, the mission of the Sanhedrin and the spiritual elevation of Israel. Its very name resonates like a promise: that of the return of a divine breath to Jerusalem.
