What defines the ghetto?
The term "ghetto" comes from the Italian word "Gheta". which was the name of a marsh type island near Venice that Jews occupied in the 13th century. Many Jews fled to Venice due to the prosecutions in Spain and Portugal in 1492. This was the result of what Jews call "diasporia" which was the spreading of the Jews throughout Europe since 70CE.(the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans) The term came into widespread use in Ghettos in occupied Europe 1939-1944 where the Jews were required to live prior to their transportation to concentration and death camps. Today the term can be used in a derogatory way when describing a poorly maintained neighborhood with a minority race as residents.

Why was Jerusalem built?
When you ask a 'why' question like this one, it could be approached from different angles.From the Bible account, Jerusalem was conquered and rebuilt two times as a punishment from Jehovah upon his people the Israelites. The books of Isaiah and Jeremiah prophecy Jerusalem's capture to be by the Babylonians. This happened in the 6th century BCE. The reasons for this punishment from God was because the Israelites as a nation had flagrantly disobeyed Jehovah for many years. God said that the land would rest for 70 years. Then Cyrus released the Jews to return and rebuild Jerusalem.Next: Jesus foretold that Jerusalem would again be abandoned by God. The Israelites had rejected the Messiah; even manipulated his death with the Romans. Therefore in 70CE the Romans conquered and destroyed Jerusalem a second time.(Since this is approx where the Bible ends its record of Jerusalem's history, this is where my knowledge regarding Jerusalem ends. Why it was rebuilt will need to be filled in by others.)Of note: The temple itself has not been rebuilt. The animal sacrifices have not been reintroduced. And all the archived genealogical records have never been retrieved. No one really knows what tribe they belong to. It cannot be established without the records.
Where was the Garden of Gethsemane located.?
First Answer:I'm not so sure but I think its in JERUSALEMAdditional information:During the Roman siege of Jerusalem in 70CE, all the olive trees were cut down, so the exact location of Gethsemane cannot be determined, but it was most likely located East of Jerusalem, across the Kidron Valley, on or by the Mount of Olives. (John 18:1), (Luke 22:39) Jesus often met with his disciples here, such as on Passover night when betrayed by Judas and arrested. (John 18:2, Matthew 26:36-56; Mark 14:32-52; Luke 22:39-53; John 18:1-12.)
