Old City Tour



This is actually the first time I toured all four quarters of the Old City...The Christian Quarter, The Armenian Quarter, The Muslim Quarter, and The Jewish Quarter.  Regardless of the news, there is a sense of peace in the Old City:  so much so that there are no soldiers at the entrances between the quarters.  With our guide Patrick we entered through the Jaffa Gate, and entered thru the Arab Shuk.

Barucheem Haba-im...."welcome"

the opportunity to do excavations

Patrick reads from the Tanach

Soldiers regain this site in the Old City during the Six Day War

It is now a boys' Yeshiva

A School of Kabbalah in the Old City

Children everywhere learning our history

the fragrance of oranges growing in the Rova neighborhood of the Jewish Quarter



so many prayers...
