Friday 18 July 2014 Mea Sharim, Ein Karem, and Western Wall Shabat with Scott

 
Friday, July 18, we took Scott to Mea She'arim  to see the Ultra Orthodox or Hasidic part of Jerusalem.  We didn't take pictures of them but did of the signs as you enter.  They're reminding people to dress modestly, don't take pictures, and observe their Sabbath.
 

We then went to Ein Karem for dinner.  Ein Karem is one of my favorite towns near Jerusalem.  It's the Park City of Jerusalem- wooded, little shops and restaurants, and fun hiking trails.


We then came into the Old City to usher in the Sabbath at the Western Wall.  There were a lot of Jewish people attending.  I think it may have something to do "Protective Edge" conflict which is in it's second week.
