There are many sacred places in Judaism religion.
One is Israel, it is a very sacred place to Jewish people. Jews who do not live in Israel try to visit, some point in their lives.
In particular, Jerusalem is more important because it is the ancient capital of Israel and the site of the original temple. The Western Wall of the ancient temple remains are where the tablets that Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai, with the ten commandments, were stored in a golden box called the Ark of the Covenant. Jewish people make pilgrimages to this wall. It is also called the Wailing Wall because people grieve the destruction of the temple and other persecution of the Jews.
Hebron is the burial place of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac and Rebecca and Jacob and Leah (Cave of the Patriarchs). Hebron is the second holiest city in Israel.
Safed came to be regarded as a holy city after the influx of Jews following the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and became known as a center of kabbalistic scholarship.
Tiberias was significant in Jewish history as the place where the Jerusalem Talmud was composed and as the home of the Masoretes, but its status as a holy city is due to the influx of rabbis who established the city as a center for Jewish learning in the 18th and 19th centuries. According to Jewish tradition, the redemption will begin in Tiberias and the Sanhedrin will be reconstituted there. The Messiah will arise from the lake of Tiberias, enter into the city, and be enthroned at Safed on the summit of a lofty hill.
