- On Mount Scopus, adjacent to the Mount of Olives and overlooking the Old City, the Kidron Valley, and the Holy Mount, the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies (known as the Mormon University locally) has become a major landmark in this ancient and historic city.
The Center’s purpose is twofold: (1) to provide students, scholars, and visitors with a unique opportunity to study the Bible in the land of its setting and to study Near Eastern languages, cultures, and history in the area from which they derive; and (2) to establish cultural and service-oriented programs designed to benefit the Holy Land and its people.
The Center itself is a beautiful 125,000 square foot building comprising eight levels set amid five acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. The first five levels (moving up from the lowest level) provide dormitory and apartment space students and faculty residing at the Center. Dormitory rooms accommodate four people with ample study space and a private bath. Each of these rooms has a patio overlooking the Old City. The sixth level houses a cafeteria, classrooms, computer facilities, and a gymnasium. Administrative and faculty offices are located on the seventh level, as is a 250-seat auditorium. The main entry is on the eighth level, which also contains a spectacular recital and special events auditorium with organ, lecture rooms, general and reserve libraries, offices, a domed theater, and a learning resource area.
Student Experience
The Jerusalem Center is an ideal setting for learning about scriptural texts and Near Eastern archaeology, history, cultures, and languages. The Center’s classrooms, practicum and computer facilities, library, theater, auditoriums, learning resource center, and administrative, housing, and food service facilities provide a wonderful environment within which students, scholars and visitors can study. The strength of the Center’s programs lies in a distinctive and structured curriculum, close faculty-student interaction, and on-site study.
The Jerusalem Center offers study programs for students coming from Brigham Young University. The core curriculum focuses on the Old and New Testaments and Near Eastern Studies. Specialized programs in Arabic and Hebrew are also offered.
The Center’s curriculum is built around the field study of sites and artifacts important to the Bible and to the history of the area. Those who study at the Center and at sites throughout the Holy Land enjoy a rich opportunity to develop both mind and spirit. They inevitably leave the Holy Land with a deepened appreciation for its history, its people, and its cultures. They return to their homes with perspectives that have been profoundly affected by their stay in Jerusalem.
Visiting the Center
The facilities at the Jerusalem Center are available only to full-time students formally enrolled in a BYU Jerusalem Center program. For those interested in visiting the building, tours are available. The tour includes a hosting video, a ten-minute organ recital, and a tour of the eighth floor and the Jerusalem Center gardens.

Thank you for this! This place is very special to me and my family. It is so nice to have a beautiful video tour of the building ❤️
I truly believe this center will one day be a temple. How beautiful.
🤫😱😎💠😏!3🌅
Well that was the rumor 20 years ago…. That it was built in such a way that could be turned into a temple very easily. But again that was just a rumor… For Zion!!!!
I hope this becomes a temple, many rooms look suitable for ordinances.
A place of peace in the City of Peace.
Ask the Muslims in East Jerusalem if it is the "City of Peace"!
Wow! I want to attend so badly! What a dream and a privilege it would be!
Thank you for this video! I have never been there and probably never will be so it was wonderful to see the beauty & feel the spirit of the building! ❤
I think this is the Temple the Bible talks about, watch it will be dedicated as such at the right time
Temples, as was the Tabernacle, were orientated-East to West; unlike the Temples built by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in any direction.
All I can say is wow. That building is gorgeous. Just astounding craftsmanship.
The architects designed it. They conceived the beauty. The craftsman built the beauty.
Thanks Elder Dorrough...I mean Ben!
I have heard so much about the Jerusalem center....and this is the first time I have seen anything....so thank you for the virtual tour.
Glorious! Thank you for sharing.
Great video!
The landscaping was so new when I was there in 1989 and quite a few rooms hadn't been finished yet, so it's wonderful to see this video. Thanks for sharing this.

Wow! What a beautiful building. What is the building used for?
The Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Studies, situated on Mount of Olives in East Jerusalem, is a satellite campus of Brigham Young University (BYU), the largest religious university in the United States. Owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the center provides a curriculum that focuses on Old and New Testament, ancient and modern Near Eastern studies, and languages including Hebrew and Arabic. Classroom study is built around field trips that cover the Holy Land, and the program is open to qualifying full-time undergraduate students at either BYU, BYU-Idaho, or BYU-Hawaii. (From Wikipedia.)
Let’s build a temple in Jerusalem!!
Heavenly Father has already said that there is only to be one temple.
@@estherlewis7458 Only one temple in Jerusalem. So far, there is none.
@@chischilisnez7811 There will be a new one during the Millennium.
@@estherlewis7458 where did that information come from?
Which issue of the ENSIGN, or Liahona, was that revelation in?
@@alexanderv7702 The God of the Bible said that there is only one place where he will put his name. There is to be only one temple. It is to be in Jerusalem.
2 Kings 21:4-7; 2 Chronicles 7:16 ;
Etc.
The Millenial temple is talked about in Ezekiel 40-48.
What’s the name of the music?
Its basically almost a temple
🌅3🤫💠
I agree. That’s the feeling l got when seeing this Center for the first time. It will definitely be a Temple . The architecture is laid out to be a temple, in time, so beautiful.
Are the LDS Isreal?
They pretend that they are Jews.
Revelation 2:9
@@estherlewis7458 No pretending about it. Read the Abrahamic Covenant. ALL THE EARTH will be blessed.
Any idea what that means?
@@chischilisnez7811 The whole earth has been blessed by Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ did the one work that was necessary to reconcile all mankind to God, when he shed his blood on the cross, died and rose again. Jesus Christ is our living Prophet, Priest and King! He alone has the Melchizedek priesthood forever.
@@estherlewis7458 Where in the scriptures that only Jesus Christ holds the Melchizedek priesthood?
As Jesus cannot be everywhere at once, he needs others to work through.
Who would baptize if they didn't have priesthood authority?
Who would heal the sick if they didn't have the priesthood authority?
Who would speak on his behalf for the church as a whole if they didn't have priesthood authority?
You say something that is NOT scriptural and is made up.
@@chischilisnez7811 In the Book of Hebrews the Melchizedek priesthood is singular. Hebrews 7:3 says "Without father and without mother." Only Christ is eternal and didn't have a mother or father. Latter-day Saints have mothers and fathers so they don't qualify. (Christ did take on human flesh 2,000 years ago. ) Nowhere in the Old or New Testament are people, neither Jews or Gentiles, walking around pretending to have the 'Melchizedek priesthood.'
In the New Testament, both men and women are priests. I Peter 2:5; Revelation 1:6; 5:10;
Christ commanded his disciples, both men and women, to go into all the world and preach the gospel. "Baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost." All disciples have authority to baptize. Christ never said to wait 1800 years and get baptized by someone in the LDS church.
Christ never had the Aaronic priesthood, since that is limited to Jewish males from the tribe of Levi. Christ was from the tribe of Judah.
The disciples never had any Old Testament 'priesthood.' The high priest (singular) had the apostles thrown in jail. Acts 5:17-18. The high priest (singular) brought charges against Paul in Rome. He even had someone standing near Paul slap Paul across the face. Acts 23-24
Even in the Book of Mormon no one has any 'priesthood,' as they were not from the tribe of Levi.
Joseph Smith was pretending to be from the tribe of Ephraim I think. Ephraim's mother was black/Egyptian (Asenath), so Joseph Smith wouldn't have had any right to the 'priesthood' until 1978, even by LDS rules.
