Rachel's TombRachel's Tomb is a Jewish sacred site located between Jerusalem and Bethlehem in the West Bank. This site is believed to be the burial place of the biblical matriarch Rachel, wife of Jacob and mother of two of his twelve sons. She died giving birth to Benjamin and "Jacob set a pillar upon her grave" (Gen. 35:19). For Jews, Rachel's Tomb is the third holiest site after the Temple Mount in Jerusalem and the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron. It has become an important place of Jewish pilgrimage, especially Jewish women unable to give birth. Jewish tradition has it that Rachel weeps for her children and that when the Jews were taken into exile, she wept as they passed by her grave on the way to Babylon (Jeremiah 31:11-16).
The Temple Mount
In the Jewish religion, God said the Temple Mount was to be viewed has his Divine Presence to rest. The Jewish respects the Mount, sometimes called the Foundation Stone, as a place where important events in the Bible took place. Including, the place where Earth developed into its current form. Also, where Abraham binds Isaac, where Jacob had his dream, the floor that David bought from Araunah, the Jebusite and much much more. The Foundation Stone will also be the Third Temple, which is going to be rebuilt for when the Messiah comes, according to the Jewish text.

Scared Text
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Now the earth was unformed and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters. And God said: 'Let there be light.' And there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day". (Genesis)
This is how the Jews believed everything started. To me, it means that before G-d created anything, the Earth was dark and it was shapeless. Until G-d commanded there to be light, and then there was light. Then G-d separated the light from the dark, and he called the light the day and darkness night. Finally, the evening and morning were created, and that was what he did on the first day of his creation. This is important to the Jews because it tells them how G-d started to create the world and it also showed His power.
