Constructed in 1874, Mea She’arim was one of the first neighborhoods to be built outside the Old City walls of Jerusalem. / She’arim is synonymous with ultra orthodoxy. This neighborhood is a window into a way of life that was practiced in Eastern Europe several centuries ago. Its religious inhabitants focus their lives on Talmudic learning. / Such devotion to religion and learning brings with it a desire for segregation from less observant people and the changing ideas of modernism. / Me’a She’arim is in another sense both miles and years.

Tzadik ( “righteous one;” pl. tzadikim) is a title which is generally given to those who are considered to be righteous such as a spiritual master or rebbe. The root of the word tzadik, is tzedek , which means justice or righteousness. This term thus refers to one who acts righteously. In classic Jewish thought, the true title of tzadik can only be applied to one who not only never sins, but also has eradicated any inclination to do so. The Talmud says that at least 36 Tzadikim Nistarim - anonymous tzadikim - are living among us at all times; they are anonymous, and it is for their sake alone that the world is not destroyed. The Talmud and the Kabbalah offer various ideas about the nature and role of these 36 tzadikim. The image was taken in the Wstern Wall Jerusalem. / Passover April 22 2008.

A view of the dome of the rock, the western wall and the old city of jerusalem. from “the promenade” the neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv ( East Talpiot) is a special attraction. According to Jewish tradition, the hill is the spot where Abraham and Isaac first saw Mount Moriah, the spot where Abraham would come within a hair`s breath of sacrificing his son. Christians call the spot the Hill of Evil Counsel, after their belief that here, the Sanhedrin decided to put Jesus on trial. Today, the area is home to a panoramic walkway featuring panoramic views of the Old City, Temple Mount, Mount of Olives, and stark Judean Desert to the west. Jerusalemites universally call it the “tayelet” (Hebrew for “promenade”), but in fact there are actually three promenades to discover. This shot was taken from the Walter and Elise Haas Promenade The Haas Promenade was the original tourist attraction in the neighborhood, and continues to enjoy the most unique view in Jerusalem. Situated directly above a Second Temple-era aqueduct, the promenade illustrates the ancient words of King David: “As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds His people.” The Promenade enjoys the widest view of the three walkways, including clear views of the Old City walls, Temple Mount, al-Aqsa Mosque, Dome of the Rock and Mount of Olives, as well as Jerusalem`s “Three Towers” – the Seven Arches Hotel atop the Mount of Olives, Augusta Victoria Hospital further to the west, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, at the summit of Mount Scopus.

The Priestly Blessing, (Hebrew: Birkat Kohanim), also known in Hebrew as Nesiat Kapayim, (lit. Raising of the Hands), is a Jewish prayer recited by Kohanim during certain Jewish services. It is based on a scriptural verse: “They shall place My name upon the children of Israel, and I Myself shall bless them.” It consists of the following Biblical verses (Numbers 6:24-26): May the Lord bless you and guard you. / May the Lord shine His countenance toward you and be gracious to you. / May the Lord lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace. The source of the text is Numbers 6:23-27, where Aaron and his sons bless the Israelites with this blessing. This is the oldest known Biblical text that has been found; amulets with these verses written on them have been found in graves in dating from the First Temple Period, and are now in the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Various interpretations of these verses connect them to the three Patriarchs; Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, or to three attributes of God; Mercy, Courage, and Glory.

Meah Shearim, is one of the oldest neighborhoods in west Jerusalem, Israel, built by the original settlers of Yishuv haYashan and even today populated mainly by Haredi Jews. / The name “Mea Shearim” is derived from a verse in the Bible – Genesis 26:12. Isaac sowed in that land, and in that year he reaped “a hundredfold”; God had blessed him. The residents hoped that like Isaac, they, too would prosper and enjoy God’s blessings. Some interpret the name literally, as “100 Gates. History / Meah Shearim was established in 1874 as the second settlement outside the walls of the Old City by a building society of 100 shareholders. Pooling their resources, the society members purchased a tract of land outside the Old City, which was severely overcrowded and plagued by poor sanitation, and built a new neighborhood with the goal of improving their standards of living. Very few dared to leave the protection of the walls in those days. The terrain was rocky and uncultivated, and Arab marauders roamed freely. Conrad Schick, a German Christian architect and missionary, drew up a plan for Meah Shearim in 1846. Joseph Rivlin, one of the heads of the Jewish community in Jerusalem, and a Christian Arab from Bethlehem, were the contractors. The work was carried out by both Jewish and non-Jewish workers. The quarter was surrounded by a wall, with gates that were locked every evening. By October 1880, 100 apartments were ready for occupancy and a lottery was held to assign them to families. By the turn of the century, there were 300 houses, a flour mill and a bakery. Conrad Schick planned for open green space in each courtyard, but cowsheds were built instead. Meah Shearim was the first quarter in Jerusalem to have street lights. Haredi lifestyle / Meah Shearim StreetToday, Meah Shearim remains an Old World enclave in the heart of Jerusalem. With its overwhelmingly Haredi population, the streets retain the flavor of an East European shtetl. Life revolves around strict adherence to Jewish law, prayer and the study of Jewish texts. Traditions in dress may include black frock coats and black or fur-trimmed hats for men (although there are many other clothing styles, depending on the religious sub-group to which they belong), and long-sleeved, modest clothing for women. In some groups, the women wear thick black stockings all year long, including summer. Married women wear a variety of headcoverings, from wigs to headscarves. The men have beards and some grow long sidecurls, called peyos. Chasidic groups with a large number of followers in Meah Shearim include Breslov, Slonim and Toldos Aharon. Meah Shearim is also the stronghold of the anti-Zionist Neturei Karta movement. The Edah HaChareidis, which supervises kashrut certification and runs a Jewish religious court, has its headquarters in Meah Shearim. Neighborhood Regulations / Modesty sign in Meah Shearim”Modesty” posters in Hebrew and English are hung at every entrance to Meah Shearim. When visiting the neighborhood, women and girls are asked to dress modestly (knee-length skirts or longer, no plunging necklines or midriff tops, no sleeveless blouses or bare shoulders) and tourists are requested not to arrive in large, conspicuous groups. During the Shabbat (from sunset Friday until it is completely dark on Saturday night), visitors should refrain from smoking, photography, driving or use of mobile phones. When entering synagogues, men should cover their heads.
