About Jerusalem
This Religion and worldviews video helps you introduce pupils to the shared history of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities, beginning with Abraham – a key figure in all three traditions.
The video explains how many Jewish people believe Abraham made a covenant with God, promising him descendants and land. This land, once called Canaan and now part of modern-day Israel, became central to the story of the Israelites.
Jerusalem holds special meaning in all three faiths. The video outlines these key events in a clear, sensitive way to help you support respectful classroom discussion about the significance of this shared space.
