Abstract: Under the heavy pressure of glorious history of the holy city, Israelite writers have strongly casted collective painful groans and individual disaster awareness of not being able to bear cultural loads after their joys of recovering country are completely replaced by wars and alarms. Such a cast has made the historical legends of holy city and spiritual temple of cultural traditions realistically embarrassed, which has resulted in human being's disillusionment of existence. Consequently, the entangled Jerusalem, regarded as a spiritual prop in the past, but now as a spiritual cage, has met with unprecedented contradictions, splits and confusions in the contemporary literary writings. Then, is Jerusalem the heaven or hell? Does the literature pick up the historical memory for touching the pain again or seeking relief? Is the returned holy land a free soul homeland or a spiritual camp for Jews? This paper aims to make a cultural analysis of those contradictions and paradoxes presented in the literature.
