If you’re like me and missed PBS’ “Jerusalem: Center of the World” when it aired in prime time last week, there are several chances to catch it again today.

It airs at noon, 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. on Eight World, channel 8.3. Here’s the trailer:

From what I understand, it’s more of a historical piece of the New Jersey-sized country (which is also the gist I got when channel surfing through it last week). Our Rebecca Bostic reported from Jerusalem in 2007 and looked more at the pilgrimage aspect. Here’s a snippet from her article:

The city is divided into four quarters — Christian, Jewish, Muslim and Armenian.

While the Christian and Muslim quarters have streets packed with vendors selling food, religious artifacts and tourist gifts, the Jewish quarter is pristine and peaceful.

There is not a physical boundary marking the different quarters, but the difference is obvious. One emerges from shadowed narrow streets filled with open-air vendors into a lit passage in the Jewish quarter that is more than 1,000 years old. Still, the Jewish quarter looks new with small shops selling artwork and fine jewelry.

The most vivid demonstration of the intersection of faiths is at the site of the Jewish temple of Jesus’ time. The temple has fallen, but one wall — called the Wailing Wall — still stands.

Faithful from around the world gather to pray at this massive wall that many Jewish believers consider the holiest site on Earth. Prayers written on small slips of paper are tightly folded and crammed into the wall’s crevices.

By the way, if you need a wall to wail on and won’t be near Jerusalem for some time, the new St. Peregrine Shrine in Mesa has one available.

And if you’re interested in Judeo-Catholic relations, Bostic has you covered there too.
