As far as I know, ancient Judaism did not have a pilgrimage either of the kind taken by Muslims to Mecca or of the kind taken by Christians (such as the English pilgrimage to St. Thomas Becket's tomb at Canterbury). However, as long as the Temple stood, the people of Israel traveled to the Temple at Jerusalem for sacrifices and for certain holy days, such as Passover.

Do Jews have to visit Jerusalem?
In the days when the Jewish Temple stood in Jerusalem, Jews were supposed to make a pilgrimage three times each year to the Temple. On Passover, on Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) and on Succot (the festival of Booths). These pilgrimage holy days were ended when Rome destroyed the temple in the year 70. It's probable that many Jews did not make every pilgrimage back in late Temple times because the Jewish community was already spreading out into the Roman empire even a century before the Temple was destroyed, and Jews living in Greece and Rome could not take perilous trips three times a year.
