犹太教四大圣城希伯來語ארבע ערי הקודש‎, 意第緒語פיר רוס שטעט‎)是16世纪奥斯曼帝国征服巴勒斯坦之后犹太人对于犹太教义中心的四座主要城市的合称,包含耶路撒冷希伯仑采法特提比里亚四城。“圣城”这一称谓可以追溯至16世纪40年代,当时在犹太人的语境中指代的是耶路撒冷、希伯仑、采法特三座城市,提比里亚则在稍晚的17世纪40年代才被列入这一范畴。[1]

由来[编辑]

根据1906年《犹太百科全书》记载:“自16世纪开始,圣地的神圣性……基本上均是指代四座城市——耶路撒冷、希伯仑、提比里亚和采法特。”[2]

These were the four main centers of Jewish life after the Ottoman conquest of 1516. The concept of the holy cities dates only from the 1640s, when the Jewish communities of Jerusalem, Hebron, and Safed organized an association to improve the system of fundraising in the Diaspora. Previously, such fundraising had been undertaken by individual institutions; now it was agreed that the emissaries would be sent on behalf of each urban Jewish community as a whole, with not more than one emissary per town. After Tiberias was refounded in 1740, it also joined the association. This arrangement did not last long, however, and by the mid-19th century there was no authority strong enough to enforce a centralized collection of ḥalukkah funds. The term "Four Holy Cities" became a convenient designation by historians rather than the title of an actual functioning body. In Jewish tradition, going back to ancient times, the only city regarded as holy is Jerusalem
