Jerusalem has many points of religious interest for Jews, and Jews typically visit Jerusalem to visit them. The number one location of religious significance in Judaism is "Har HaBayit" (Mountain of the House), referring to the Holy Temple (i.e. "House of God") that stood there between 957 BCE - 586 BCE and then again between 516 BCE - 70 CE. It ceased to exist both times after being destroyed (see the Wikipedia article on "Temple in Jerusalem"). Jewish tradition is of the opinion that a third temple will be built once more in the times of the Messiah, and as such, the location has never lost holiness. Although the Temple has been destroyed, the western wall of the outermost encirclement on the mountain still exists, and millions of Jews, observant and non-observant, visit this as the holiest place that currently exists.
