Judaism is a religion introduced, practiced, and identified with Jerusalem especially since King David's period. According to Jews, the religious and political life in Jerusalem during the time of David and his son Suleiman is an ideal that requires not to be forgotten in their memory and to be experienced again. The prayers, which are an indispensable part of the religious life of the Jews and settled in the focus of religion with the collapse of the Temple, clearly reveal the meaning of Jerusalem that expressed for them and are considered as a summary of the history of Jewish faith. In general, the emphasis on Jerusalem in Jewish prayers, made regularly, on holidays and in transition periods and in some special cases, is that God is glorifying himself, that peace and salvation are demanded, salvation comes from the coming of Christ, the construction of temple, and peace in Jerusalem. In this direction Amidah prayer is regarded as a symbol of Jerusalem citizenship, that is to be Jewish, because of its emphasis on the fulfilment of salvation as a result of the coming of Christ, the gathering of the Jews in Jerusalem and the provision of justice. Therefore, in the memory of Jews, Jerusalem appears as need to be remembered and always maintains its importance and value as "a Jewish Hope" in the form of "Rebuild Jerusalem" in their language. In this work, by focusing on Jewish prayers made in various times and shapes, it is tried to be understood and revealed how Jerusalem takes place in Jewish prayers and what it means to them through the phenomenological method.

This study examines the four-mode religion model that Eric J. Sharpe, one of the most important representatives of the English School of Phenomenology of Religion, has put forward in order to attain a holistic understanding of religion in over against one-sided examination of religion. Sharpe's model consists of modes which are existential including religious experience on the axis of faith, intellectual dealing with religious beliefs, organizational that contact with social constructs created by believers and ethical that points to the moral structures of religions. According to this model, there might be a different mode in the center of each religion and the differences between the religions might be evaluated in this frame. This model is based on criticism of the seven-dimensional religion model of Ninian Smart, one of the most important representatives of the same school. The main criticism of Sharpe is that the other dimensions of religion are pushed into the background by emphasizing religious experience. Since, according to him, religion is not a phenomenon that can only be confined to conscience through religious experience. However, although Sharpe's model emphasizes that need and awareness of the need to study religion in a multifaceted way, the model appears to have remained in the developmental stage due to the fact that the modes are highly abstract and do not cover up all areas of religion.
