All morning I was wandering around the Jerusalem neighborhoods of Givat Shaul Bet and Har Nof, seeing some things for the first time. What I actually came for was to see Deir Yassin, but that is not a story to go into right now, just before Shabbat.
It was a day for reflection. There was even a shot for James' Weekend Reflections.
Here is the whole tall beit midrash or yeshiva.It seemed like every block had at least one yeshiva and sometimes even several yeshivot.
Did I mention that Har Nof is a religious neighborhood of Orthodox Jews?
This yeshiva belongs to the Vizhnitz Hasidic dynasty.
The new Beth Ramchal, which appears to be built right inside one of the old quarries of Deir Yassin.

thanks for sharing a bit of your part of the world. nice reflection!
ReplyDeletePeace...wouldn't it be wonderful, beyond imagination! And, a stunning reflection too. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos of Har Nof. I was there many, many years ago. I remember too many stray cats and not enough trees. Looks like they have now planted more trees.
ReplyDeleteShabbat Shalom.
Wow, some very nice buildings there!

Interesting combination of materials and ideas in you images this week, Dina. The buildings are a combination of glass and concrete, which in some respects could be likened to a combination of peace and war, of defend and attack, of man and beast. Nice to have your reflections to reflect upon. Thank you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove the building in the 2nd pic and the one of the Hasidic dynasty -impressive -looks like a mix of Roman and "something else"! Thanks for sharing these with us:)
ReplyDeleteYes, peace would be nice.
ReplyDeleteShabbot Shalom.
A couple of those designs look like they might have been inspired by the Sydney Opera House.

Let's all pray for peace. Especially for the Peace of Jerusalem.
Nice capture of the reflection in the car window in the first image, Dina. Is the car a Citroën?
