You don't have to be afraid at night in Jerusalem.  I took an hour long walk to the center of town and back just now and it is beautiful!

The Rothschild Hospital

This is the site of the first hospital in Jerusalem. It was established by Rothschild, in 1888, and in 1939 Hadassah took it over.  The building is still standing and is in use as a medical training center.  I was passing by on HaNeviim Street,  and I couldn't resist to take in this bit of Jerusalem history. See you on the street! Rachael Alice www.travelinghairsalon.weebly.net

On the way to Tiberius for a Shabbat at Archim, Memories of David Yshay Orbach ז"ל

 I took this picture while I was the passenger in the car when  David Yshay Orbach ז"ל  I went for a Shabbat of the supporters of Archim,  I had thought that we could go out on the boardwalk during the Shabbat and enjoy Tiberius. I was wrong.  The hotel Baali has a VIEW of the lake, but it is far up on the mountain, and it would be a hard walk, both up and down.  So when we finally got to the place, after making many wrong turns, we had to stay in the hotel for the whole Shabbat, and not take any walks like I had planned.  As it was the hotel was ok, the beds were comfortable and the food was great.  The talks were about Torah subjects, the Mechitza right down the middle, so I could hear and see what was going on if I sat next to the Mechitza.   We got our own table, so we could speak together then.   One of the happy memories of David Yshay Orbach ז"ל Rachael Alice Orbach +

View of the Russian Convent in Eini Kerem.

I don't usually post pictures of churches on this blog, but I have seen this from afar many times.  When you are driving to the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital, this view keeps popping up so you might get distracted by the view.  You might wonder about the golden dome church and why it is up there? Well this link:  http://www.biblewalks.com/Sites/RussianEinKerem.html   Will tell you all about it. If you want to go to visit, remember that visitors are not allowed inside the church, but the view and the exterior might be enough to justify the trip. Since you have to go into the Hadassah Hosiptal complex, you will have to pay the parking fee for the hospital, so don't be surprised. Have a good trip! Rachael Alice
