See the attached Related Links. They're both online and free. Just hold and drag the map to Israel with your left mouse button, and then double-click your left mouse button repeatedly to get the scale you want. See which of the two maps you prefer.
On the ArcGis map, once you have Jerusalem on its screen, click the "Basemap" box on the top of the page to see various features you can click to overlay. Note that the elevation levels are not visible on all of the map's size-scales; see which scale works best.
On the Topomapper map, click the various circles on the right side of the page to get differing overlays. Note that the topographical overlay shows elevation bars but has places labeled in Russian words, so you'll want to see the place names in one of the non-topographical modes first.
Another possibility is Google Earth, which is a free download and has a map showing a one-point elevation at the very bottom of the page as you scroll your cursor over the map. That feature is useful for finding the elevation of a particular location.

This era encouraged critical thinking and skepticism, leading to advancements in science, philosophy, and political theory that laid the groundwork for modern democratic societies. Today, while we continue to value rational inquiry and individual rights, the rapid pace of technological change and the complexity of global issues challenge our understanding and engagement with these principles, prompting ongoing debates about truth, ethics, and governance. Overall, the legacies of these movements continue to shape contemporary thought and lifestyles, although the context and challenges have evolved significantly.
