We walked into East Jerusalem and the Old City to show the Humanitarian student committee a couple of places where they can volunteer.
Linda, Matt, Heather, and Anna are in front of a hostel in the Old City. The Greek Annunciation Society is in this building. The Society runs a day care center in the Old City.
We are in the Jewish Quarter, near the Western Wall and noticed what appeared to be young students returning to class accompanied, we suppose, by their teachers. The students are wearing kippahs. The kippah is a symbolic head covering which expresses Jewish reverence toward Diety. If you go into a Jewish synagogue, you should cover your head to show respect for Diety, and if you go into a Christian church, you should remove your hat to show respect for Diety.
Shortly after the students went into their classes, this group of Jewish women passed by the same spot. The Jewish man appeared to be passing out ribbon wrist bands to...
... solicit donations.
