There are four holy cities in Judaism. In order of holiness, they are: Jerusalem, Hebron, Safed, and Tiberias, all of which are in either Israel or the West Bank. These cities were considered holy because of their being in the Holy Land, their relatively large Jewish community and their concentration of Torah-scholars.
Additionally, the Land of Israel (which is most of Israel and the West Bank) is also considered the holy land in general.
There are a number of Jewish Holy Sites even if the entire city is not holy. Some Jewish Holy Sites include the Western Wall in Jerusalem and the entire Old City, the Cave of the Ramban, the "City of David", David's Burial Ground at Mount Zion, the Tomb of Samuel just north of Jerusalem, the city of Hebron and the nearby the Cave of Machpelah, Joseph's Tomb in Nablus, the tombs of Pinehas and the Elders of the Great Assembly at Awarta, and Rachel's tomb outside of Bethlehem. There are also special historic synagogues in Safed, tombs of the righteous throughout the Middle East, and several other minor markers.
