In Judaism, the "Four Holy Cities" are Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, and Safed. The concept was created for the purpose of fundraising within the Jewish diaspora, originating in the 1640s when the Jewish communities of Jerusalem, Hebron and Safed formed an association for that purpose – Tiberias was to join approximately a century later.
