The Vision
A Place Without Equal in Jerusalem
The place we are building in Jerusalem is the physical expression of a duty. Not another museum. Not another visitor center. The place where the People of Israel formally accepts its universal mission — and invites the world to join.
The visitor who enters will see Jewish history not as the private story of one nation, but as the channel through which the values of humanity are transmitted. They will understand why Jerusalem. Why here. Why now.
"Judaism contains universal messages whose purpose is the repair of the world under the sovereignty of God. Transmitting God's word to the nations is the duty of the People of Israel from its very founding — 'And all the families of the earth shall be blessed through you.'"
Rabbi Uri Sherki · Brit Olam · Written six years ago
Why Now
What This War Has Revealed
For more than two and a half years, Israel has been at war. Beneath the headlines, something else has happened — a deep reckoning within the People about why we are here.
The answers we grew up with — "because of the Holocaust," "because there is nowhere else," "because we deserve it" — suddenly sound too small. They stand on defense. They try to justify our existence to a world that is not convinced.
Our existence here does not require justification — it requires purpose.
The war did not create this covenant. It only revealed how urgent it is. And how late we are in telling it to the world.
The place we are building in Jerusalem is the place that says this — to Israelis, to Jews everywhere, and to all the nations. It transforms "why we are here" from defense into proclamation.
The Experience
Six Stations. One Journey.
Holograms · 360° screens · Immersive audio-visual · Interactive spaces · Multiple languages
The visitor leaves not only with knowledge — but with an emotional experience of the place of the Jewish People in the world.
Why You
Wherever You Stand
You may live in New York or London, Toronto or Sydney, Paris or Buenos Aires. You may be Orthodox or Reform, traditional or secular, deeply connected or carrying long distance. None of this matters for what we are building.
You are already part of this story. When something happens here, your heart turns this way. We both know it.
The question is not whether you belong. The question is whether you want a permanent marker that you do.
210 people will sign their names to this place before it exists. Their names will be engraved at the entrance when the building rises. They will be the first stones.
210 stones · 3 waves of 70 · Wave I now open
The Three Waves
A Structure Drawn from Genesis
"And a river went out of Eden to water the garden" — Genesis 2:10
The amount is the same in all waves. The difference is only timing.
The Offer
Simply
- Your name engraved on a stone in the entrance wall when the building rises
- A short personal inscription up to 25 words — "Why I joined the covenant" — published immediately on the digital wall and inscribed on the physical wall
- Personal VIP tour with Rabbi Sherki at the official opening
- Ongoing connection — periodic teachings, progress updates, access to online gatherings
- Only 210 stones, in three waves of 70
If $550 is not the right amount
There is another path — Partners of the Covenant. Starting at $30, one-time or monthly. The Partner joins the covenant, receives the same teachings, the same ongoing connection, and their name appears on the permanent digital wall. They do not receive a place on the physical wall or the VIP tour — but they are part of the covenant in equal measure.
Both paths are needed. Both paths are honored.
Our Commitment
Why We Must Say This Out Loud
Your contribution is not a guarantee of the building. We are working on two real-estate options in the heart of Jerusalem, but there could be a reality in which one of them does not materialize and the second takes longer than planned. If the project changes shape — different location, different scope, different timeline — your name is preserved at its standing, and you also have the option to direct your contribution to other activity of Brit Olam.
What We Do Not Promise
We do not promise this will be easy. We do not promise the building will rise tomorrow. We do not promise every problem will resolve without difficulty.
A covenant is a covenant. Not a sales pitch.
