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.
flag over Greek Orthodox Church
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
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...
