After breakfast we went to Jerusalem Great Synagogue, it is on King George street near our hotel. We took prayer books and climbed up into women's section. There was cantor singing along with a choir of at least 20 men. Place was huge, quite different from our own little synagogue. And very hot!
After the service we went for a walk. Here is our hotel:
Little street near Kikar Zion.
King George street.
Close to Mea Shearim. We could not go there this time because I had trousers on.
Italian synagogue on Hillel street. I was here before.
Independence park:
We were lying down and enjoy the sun.
Next to Independence park is Mamilla pool. It is one of the three water pools build by Herod the Great during the first century BCE. It is connected by an underground channel to Hezekiah's Pool in the Christian Quarter in the Old City. Later Christians were massacred at the pool in 614. With rains pool hosts ecosystem of crabs, frogs, insects and birds. Interesting.
From the pool came a dog. No, two dogs. Three dogs. Four dogs. Many dogs. Oh my.. They just kept on coming!
Quiet city:
Trams are ready to go! They are testing it right now, and soon it will be open for passengers. Jaffa street on Shabbat:
After sun went down it was freezing cold outside! And the wind... Hrrrr...
