All Bible lovers know well the story of Jacob's famous dream of the angels
descending and ascending a ladder to heaven. When he awakens, Jacob takes the
stone he had used to cushion his head and erects a monument, vowing that this
holy place will one day become a house of
God (Genesis 28:18, 22). Jacob's stone indeed became the
Foundation Stone deep within the Temple. Many researchers maintain that today,
this stone lays at the center of the Dome of the Rock. In the Temple Mount
Heritage Foundation's new guide book to the Temple Mount, called "Arise and
Ascend", learn all about the Foundation Stone and the Biblical and archeological
history of the Mount and see Judaism's most holy site in a completely new
way.
