Final Jeopardy Answer for September 30
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy September 30, 2024 is “What is Mount Zion?”
Perhaps the easiest path to the correct answer is to know that Zionism is the “Jewish national aspiration” hinted at in the clue. It also offers other routes to the answer, as mentioned many times in the Bible, such as the Book of Samuel as the name of a Jebusite stronghold or as a reference in the New Testament as the holy and eternal city of God. Today, Mount Zion is also known as the Western Hill.
In reggae, “Zion” refers to a place of unity, peace and freedom. Rastas see this place as an ideal or aspiration, and typically refer to “Zion” as Ethiopia or Africa in a broad sense. In Jamaica, Mount Zion is a place where reggae artist Bob Marley drew inspiration for his music.
