Dr. Adam Ackerman's Unique Jerusalem Walking Tours in the footsteps of his English best-selling book "The Mysteries of Jerusalem"
Dr. Adam Ackerman is a well-known author, lecturer and expert on the history of the Jewish people, with specialization about Jerusalem. He lectures extensively on Jerusalem and has a regular Hebrew newspaper column called “Sites in Jerusalem,” and his textbooks about the city have been published in many editions. One of them is a textbook entitled “Jerusalem through the Ages: Selected Chapters in the History of Jerusalem,” used by thousands of teachers and students all over Israel. In addition, he has built up an enviable reputation over the years for hosting many visitors in the Holy City for moving and exciting visits and walking tours in Jerusalem to the unique historic and religious sites described in his books.
Dr. Ackerman’s guests coming to Jerusalem follow in the footsteps of his two highly informative and up-to-date books: “Sites and Neighborhoods in Jerusalem: 70 Sites and Neighborhoods” (2006), and “101 Unique Sites in Jerusalem and Around the City” (2008) – altogether a total of 171 different sites of historic, national, literary, archeological and religious interest.
Many of the sites are not well-known to the general public and are vividly described in his two highly informative, profusely illustrated and impressively produced books. A selection of chapters from both books appears in an enlarged English version: “The Mysteries of Jerusalem – 101 Unique Sites in the Holy City.”
In the short time since its publication, Dr. Ackerman’s book in English about Jerusalem has been widely acclaimed. The 250-page book is in hard-cover, lavishly illustrated with color plates, and is the most up-to-date and fascinating book about Jerusalem and makes a delightful gift book.
It is divided into the following sections: Archaeology and History, Judaism, Moslem Architecture, Churches and Monasteries, National and Public Buildings and Institutions, Art and Museums, Gardens and Sculpture. The book has been written by Dr. Ackerman clearly and concisely and with great charm, and represents the fruit and writing in the area and the accumulated knowledge and experience of 20 years of leading walking tours in Jerusalem.
