This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers in delivering a unit exploring the historical and religious significance of key locations for Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities. It introduces pupils to the concept of shared religious heritage through the story of Abraham and the covenant, the Israelites’ journey to Canaan, and the establishment of Jerusalem. The video outlines how each tradition views the region now known as Israel, including the importance of the Temple, and how stories like Moses’ leadership, Jesus’ teachings, and Muhammad’s night journey shape beliefs.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – places. It helps teachers approach discussions around Jerusalem and Israel with care and sensitivity, focusing on the historical and spiritual relevance for different communities. The video encourages respectful dialogue and deepens understanding of why these places remain important to many people today, while acknowledging the complexity of the region’s history. Teachers are supported to present the content clearly, using inclusive language and age-appropriate context.
